Welcome to the (non-IL) men's college basketball games thread.

What a massive day tomorrow is:

Michigan @ Purdue
UCLA @ MSU
WISC @ OSU
NEB @ IOWA
MINN @ ORE

Obviously the headliner is needing Purdue to beat scUM
….
but would also prefer UCLA beats MSU. UCLA really needs a big win, just not a fan of playing these teams desperate and coming off losses.
What is more important? Hoping Michigan loses 2 games and we run the table for the 1 seed in the BTT or securing a top 4 seed and getting the triple bye. I would rather have the triple bye. That said, we need 2 of the 4 to get to 5 loses in the conference, PU, Wisky, Nebby or MSU. We have proven that we can win the BTT not being a 1 seed. I do not have an issue with Michigan winning against PU but OSU and Iowa needs to win.

For all the Nebraska won’t lose again people - I think they lose to Iowa tomorrow.

I also see them dropping at least one on the west coast.

Oh and btw, the guy saying they’ll be favored in all their games, they’re 4pt underdogs against Iowa.

Also, those who think Nebraska deserves to be ranked higher than us due to having two less losses, please look no further than the disparity in non-conference games:

Apparently this is what this guy felt the need to address after our (fairly comfortable) road win over Penn State:

Absolutely want Purdue to win.

Give Oracle21 a break. AI isn't perfect...yet.

My goal is for all non-Arizona teams in the B12 to have at least 6 Ls.

Looking at ISU’s schedule, they have a path to get there even if they win.

Houston could lose this, @KU, and AZ along with one in the conference tourney. So I’d rather have UH lose.

Not sure where to put this....but I'm surprised the media hasn't made a little more out of the brawl between Providence an St. johns from the other day.....I didn't see the game live, but have watched a few replays...but my goodness that was a heck of a head tackle the Providence player made on the St. John player going for the layup....of course a full fledged donnybrook broke out until cooler heads and law enforcement got people separated...think there were 7 or 8 players total suspended, but wouldn't be surprised to see maybe some assault charges filed....just think it's kind of weird there's not been a lot of media coverage of the incident

I know I’m a couple of days late, but for all the talk about the middle/bottom of the BIG being soft this year and the ACC being back, 10-2 Virginia sure had a hard time beating a mediocre OSU team on a neutral without Mobley from what I can see. What would Virginia be in the BIG? 500 ish? Duke has been kinda doing the Gonzaga thing the last few years riding a few good non con wins and a soft conference to a top seed.

That St. John's player? Bryce Hopkins.


No, I'm serious.
