2019-2020 B1G Basketball Thread

winter storm here

was hoping for some good entertainment tonight, but the Badgers couldn't hang

Maybe the Hawkeyes can make it a game at Carver with some help from the cowards

cowards

In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi--well some of his words, anyway--"cowardice makes cowards of us all."

I don't know who Dan is, but the problem is not just in the B1G.
SI did an analysis of home-field advantage several years ago and found basketball as the worst offender (that is, had the most HFA).
The explanation is that the zebras are so close to the fans and they don't want to get the fans angry at them.

I could see it.

Maryland fans believe they are a tight knit group, and that the handling of Randy Edsall, has a lot to do with our ref concerns, as his brother was one. 

That's dipping into the conspiracy pool a bit, especially when it appears to be an epidemic.

in Carver

Michigan was 4-5 from the line

the Hawks??  27-30

So after last night, MSU seems pretty good.

Excellent on defense last night. UW shot 21-59 and much of that was because of the MSU defense. Of course, launching 3's to the tune of 4-19 didn't help the Badgers.

hoisting 34 three's didn't help Michigan get to the line

Am I to read "launching" as a critique of how often they were shot or just that UW mostly didn't make them?

It's just really tough to win on the road in this league. Makes Illinois' win in Madison look like gold.

Too many were taken outside the context of the offense.

Ehh, I'll half disagree. MSU was gonna force them into their late-clock stuff a lot, and this team lacks late clock firepower. They were miserable from 2 and 3 and needed one of those nights where they hit a good rate of the rare open stuff, which they didn't. 

Oh well, this was the least likely win for the rest of the season. Need to turn attention toward Neb and then toward stealing one from at Purdue and at Iowa.

Nope, but constantly hacking Garza sure helped Iowa

[FearlessF]

only two types of "good" 3s

in rhythm, squared up,  and a wide open look

and the ones that go in

Nope, but constantly hacking Garza sure helped Iowa

13 for Garza and 10 for Wieskamp
