Week of 2/9 Games Thread

Agree. That’s a big spread though. 15.5

 

[Vinegarben]

Glad to see Izzo and MSU get their upcoming at Wisconsin! I am tired of his scrumped face whining!

For those on Hummel watch, he is calling today's Marquette-Xavier game on TNT along with Spero Dedes and Jared Greenberg. Game is at 2:00 PM CT.

Feel like this is a mistake fans often make. You guys looked at the CURRENT standings and not remaining schedules.

During this game, Nebraska had 2 losses and Purdue has 3. But if we look at remaining schedules:

Nebraska still has the west coast, and plays @Iowa. I think they lose at minimum 2 of the 3.

Now that Purdue won.... if they beat Michigan (which we absolutely should want), I don't see any remaining games they could lose.

Iowa will be favored against Nebby; won't be against Purdue.

I personally would've preferred Nebraska had won.

I feel that Nebraska taking a 3rd loss to Purdue was needed because I am not sure they lose again.
Bottom line…. I don’t think any team with 4 losses wins the conference unless some upsets happen. It could end up 4 teams at 3 losses tied.
MSU most likely out.

Gotta be big time UCLA fans today.

 

[Chase321]

Iowa State or KU?

 

[…INI!]

Watching Duke v Clemson. Hoping we don’t get Dickie V on any of our coverage. He’s insufferable. They do not call the game and spend 75% of the time name dropping and stories.

 

[Chase321]

For 30-some years this has been true.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

ucla getting some bad calls

 

[New Creation]

Yaxel with 10 FT attempts in the 1st half so far…

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

I almost feel bad for NW in how close they get. Just heartbreaking year.

Reminds me of all the Malcolm Hill stuff

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

Nice run by UCLA to get it to a 2 point game at half

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Not bad for UCLA.

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Between Nebraska and Michigan:

A scUM loss would be more helpful (so it's what I'd rather prefer)

But a Nebby loss would be more hysterical.

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Michigan can really be had on the boards when Mara is off the floor…

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I feel that Nebraska taking a 3rd loss to Purdue was needed because I am not sure they lose again.

I know they had a great run, but this board has way overestimated Nebraska IMO.

To me they're the 4th team right now.

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Nebraska's "great run" included a TERRIBLE non conference slate and...

people forget, their last 4 games before Michigan when they were undefeated was: Northwestern, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington.

Their only two good wins are Michigan State (which is not aging well) and us.

That buzzer beater and phantom call on Tomi did them wayyy more favor than people realize.

I think they're a prime candidate for a 3/14 type of upset.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Xavier Booker....

 

[NashvILLe05]

Northwestern giving Huskers a battle in Lincoln.

 

[WhereDoWeStandWithStorr?]

Awful free throw shooting by UCLA

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

Not a good sequence there. scUM looking to pull away.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

I know they had a great run, but this board has way overestimated Nebraska IMO.

To me they're the 4th team right now.

They will definitely lose again.

 

[Jimbo]

We made Northwestern look like an average high school team. How are they competitive against Michigan and Nebraska?

 

[IlliniFan42]

I know they had a great run, but this board has way overestimated Nebraska IMO.

To me they're the 4th team right now.

They were so blind they were cheering for Michigan to beat them. It was disgusting.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

16 turnovers for Nebraska. Gross.
