MSU-Iowa was the highest rated FS1 basketball game ever apparently

More proof that Maryland's wins aren't that impressive.

Thanks for Potter though. All signs point to him being key for Big Red next season.

He's a good player and I think will be a good fit for Wisconsin.

and the most butts in seats at Carver this season

Good first half for the Bucks, but second halves have been problematic

Yeah, the Big East knew how to schedule their teams into the tourney.  The Big Ten seems to care about nothing but squishing as many games into as many nights as possible.  The Big East ensured their top teams never double played each other.  The Big Ten has their highest rated team playing 3 games in one week, two on the road, all against top 24 KenPom teams.

Maryland is picking up steam...and has to play road games Friday-Monday.

How is any of this good for the conference?

Then have Maryland give up a home game to play a nonsensical game in NYC and lose.  Screw Delany

Bucks put together two good halves and actually win a game

Nah. It's alright.
This exposes the youth and ridiculous expectations. 
Maryland has not beaten a good team yet. The wins they've had, were close, and looking like mediocre teams the more we go into the season.
After the Virginia game with all the time to prepare and the Seton Hall game, I knew this team wasn't going to do great things especially with how young they are.
I can't remember the last time Turgeon beat a ranked team.
It's a Michigan Michigan State Big Ten season.

Indiana is clearly not as good expected, but it was great to see Michigan finally get a big lead early, again, and then hold it. Hopefully they gained some confidence that will carry over to tougher games.

Ohio State looked dangerous today, so that should be tough, even at home, where Michigan has a 19-game win streak (tied with Tennessee for most among major conferences, and only Houston and Buffalo have longer streaks).

What's your take on Purdue @ MD? Current Sagarin prediction system has MD about a 1 point home favorite.
I believe Purdue is now a much better team than the one that beat MD at home in December. But I was also assuming based on their wins and climb in the various rankings that MD had improved significantly as well.
You think MD will defend home court in that one?

I can.

I thought the issue was games against ranked teams outside College Park, and that the losing streak dates back to Gary Williams?

Lol, end floor slapping in our lifetime!
