2020-2021 B1G Basketball Thread

The B1G looks to be rough sledding for everyone. While I'm definitely down on OSU this year from where I was, they are still a good team. But they could also finish 12th in the conference and be a good team.

Badgers look to be going throwback.

Apparently the players designed them themselves

They do kind of look like one of those Christmas ornaments that a kid makes at school, and brings home.

Yes, they did. Those 4 seniors.

I'd rather they gone with either "Wisconsin" or "Badgers", but not both.

Our fandom probably keeps up from noticing or admitting this sometimes but every once in a while you get a game where the refs save you.  Tonight was WVU’s night against Iowa St.  Completely outplayed at home but was whistled for 11 fouls to ISU’s 29 and shot 37 FT to ISU’s 9 to pull it out 70-65.  And yeah, several of them were weak calls and seemingly every block/charge went WVU’s way.

Oh well, I don’t blame officials for losses (even though I really want to sometimes) so I won’t apologize when we get a good whistle.

I think we can admit singular calls, even large ones, they go our way. I think where we really struggle, is in admitting a favorable whistle over the course of a game. I know I can point to cases where a consistent style of whistle favor Michigan State, specifically cases where they let the teams play, which generally worked to Michigan state's advantage. there was a game where we beat the JJ sullinger Ohio State team that specifically comes to mind.  But that's not admitting that the refs consistently favored Michigan State, simply that they consistently let a ton of contact go, which benefited Michigan State

I think the refs on all of our teams' sides...

... when we're playing the Terps

Badgers putting in L'Ville early on. 30-8 with 7 left in the half.

[MaximumSam]

Bucks up 3-0. Should be 7-0, but perpetual whipping boy Harry Miller screwed up a block and got a holding call.

Louisville is probably wishing they hadn't tried to make up this challenge game

I guess the Zags are really good.
