2020-2021 B1G Basketball Thread

5-1 foul differential at the first tv timeout, and an 11-3 deficit.  Must be our annual December loss to Duke

never fear, it's 2020

[ELA]

MSU winning a regular season game vs. Duke would be the most 2020 thing to date

[FearlessF]

boy, I really liked 2020 for PSU football at 0-5 and then an 0-5 team beating Michigan

that's just scary

Congratulations to the Spartans for their win over DOOK.

Congratulations to the Spartans for their win over DOOK.

Umm, MSU is 4-13 vs. Duke. Better than Nov. 30, 2020, when MSU was 3-13 vs. Duke. Michigan State Spartans at Duke Blue Devils - 12/1/20 College Basketball Picks and Prediction - PickDawgz It is MSU's first win at Cameron Indoor Cattle Congress.

I was born in 1975.  When Mike Krzyzewski was named coach at Dook on March 18, 1980 I was a couple months shy of five years old.  I have zero recollection of DOOK basketball prior to that and little or no recollection of his first few years there (as I'm not a DOOK fan and CBB is secondary to CFB for me).  

That said, their success over the past (nearly) 40 years is astounding.  Krzyzewski took his fourth DOOK team to the NCAA Tournament and since then they have only missed one (two if you include the COVID cancellation in 2020).  They won two NC's while I was in HS (90/91 and 91/92), another shortly after I graduated from college (00/01), and two more since then (09/10 and 14/15).  4-13 isn't great but we are talking about DOOK here, celebrate the win!

I'm not even sure this is possible, but Bill Walton calling a basketball game might even be more annoying than Dick Vitale.

[FearlessF]

Bill is easily more annoying, especially if you've heard him call more than a dozen games

the schtick never changes

Yes?  So?

Yeah, I like him doing Pac 12 games.  They start at 11, so I never watch all of them, and I don't watch enough of them to get sick of him

[Brutus Buckeye]

The last game was in the Covelli center because of a Hockey game. 

Why is this game in the Covelli center? 

[ELA]

Nits!  3 at the buzzer to beat VCU!

Jalen Suggs out with an ankle injury

Jalen Suggs out with an ankle injury

That for all the world looked like a ruptured or torn Achilles at first.  I felt bad for him.  Then he ends up playing most of the second half. Nuts.

As an aside, I feel better about WVU after that loss than any of their first 3 wins.  I hope this season gets to play out.  A couple of tough whistles really took our big guys out of the game in the second half, but they played 40 minutes with the Zags.
