2019-2020 B1G Basketball Thread

Ugh, which seems to have caused Jalen Terry to decommit.  Everyone I trust says even though Hoggard had the better offer sheet, they would take Terry over him in a heartbeat.

Well, the first three schools to reach out after his decommitment were Louisville, LSU and DePaul, so...

DJ Carton supposedly sprained his ankle in OSU's scrimmage against Louisville

Purdue had an intrasquad open scrimmage yesterday. Looking like this team is reloading, not rebuilding, after the losses of Carsen, Cline, and Eifert.

Looks like KenPom agrees, he's still high on Purdue going into 19-20

1. Michigan State
7. Purdue
11. Ohio State
16. Maryland
21. Michigan
34. Indiana
35. Illinois
41. Iowa
43. Penn State
45. Wisconsin
63. Rutgers
81. Minnesota
87. Northwestern
96. Nebraska

I would think if the standings bear that out, there will be coaching searches in Minneapolis and Chicago next spring.

I think OSU is only projected by KenPom to go 21-10 despite being #11.  Tough sledding in the B1G this year.

Michigan's Wagner to miss up to 6 weeks with a broken wrist

Langford out until early January by aggravating the same foot injury that caused him to miss the entire Big Ten season and NCAA tourney last year.  That injury just keeps getting crazier

Basketball season can't come too soon...

11 new players on UNL's basketball team.   Nobody has a clue how good or how bad they will be.

God Bless the Mayor!

Basketball season can't come too soon...

Temper your tongue. 

You know the excuses will come. Still room for "young team", "too much pressure", blah blah blah.

Michigan scrimmaged Detroit tonight. Apparently Johns and Bajema didn't play but will be back from minor injuries for the regular season. No update on Wagner, though. Michigan only won 82-75 but considering who didn't play and the fact that the game doesn't count, I don't really read much into that. Apparently, DeJulius went 7-8 from 3, which is really encouraging for his chances of getting minutes at shooting guard in addition to backing up Simpson.

Meanwhile, Creighton's projected started center might be out for the year (and certainly their game at Michigan), which could allow Teske and Castleton to have big games to mitigate the absence of Wagner, since that will be the first big game and the only one that Wagner is definitely going to miss.

Michigan plays Saginaw Valley State for its exhibition game and then Appalachian State (get your jokes in now, but they're not good in basketball, though they have a new head coach this year, too) for its regular season opener first, though.

OSU has their exhibition against Cedarville last night.  Didn't fool around with BTN+ enough to watch it, but it sounds like pretty much what you'd expect.  Starters were CJ Walker, Muhammad, Young, and the Wessons.  DJ Carton did play quite a bit at point and looked pretty good.

[Brutus Buckeye]

On the radio it sounded like Cedarville was the home team. I think their whole town showed up.
