2020-2021 B1G Basketball Thread

• IL@MN:  This might look like a mismatch and it probably would be in Champaign but in Minneapolis the Gophers are REALLY tough.  They already have wins over the other two B1G title contenders . . .

Nevermind, apparently Illinois is immune to Minnesota's home court advantage!

Not a good day for the B1G's bubble teams. Indiana and Minnesota took their 8th and 10th losses respectively today.

Announcer just said Jaden Ivey isn't afraid of big games when Purdue is playing Nebraska, and he's not afraid of the Big Ten Network...

Umm... Nebraska is at the bottom of the league and BTN is the network that has to show B1G games when no bigger networks (ESPN/Fox/CBS) picks them up.

I realize why a BTN announcer has to say that... But c'mon, man!

LoL

In general, late in the first half I'm giving credit to Nebraska's defense. They're playing hard and making life hard on the Purdue offense. Purdue is finally hitting some 3s which is a big difference so far.

Nebraska not going away. 40-37 Boilers at the half.

For the second time this year WVU erases a 19 point second half lead to win a game.  Beats Texas 84-82.  You can’t turn off a Mountaineer game this year. They can’t hold a lead but they are also never out of a game.  They are now 5-3 in games this year where they have trailed by at least 10 points at some point in the game.

I watched that ending, exciting!

SkiCat, Forever, and I saw Huggy on a Sunday morning walking down the sidewalk in the Little Apple wearing a linen suit.  Not white, but much lighter than the pic above.

Looking GOOOOD!!!

[Kris60]

The night he wore that suit WVU played Cincinnati and shot something like 1-22 from 3 point range and only scored 39 points in a lopsided loss.  He hasn’t worn it since.

I fondly remember the motley crew Huggy recruited to Cincinnati, maybe exemplified by Art Long, who was charged with punching a police horse.

He had some characters.

Huggins and Cincinnati were the perfect marriage. Big mean street ballers. 

They'd take the ball at gunpoint in the full court press, and then dunk on you in transition, balls in the face.
