2021-2022 B1G Basketball thread

[ELA]

it's just basketball
no big deal
still selling tickets

To who?

[ELA]

The thought was always he was a two a done.  A lot of honesty here.  I think what is overlooked is how none of the other wings can defend.  Hall is too slow, and may still be our second best, due to his size and footwork

To who?

crazy husker fans


luckily season tickets were sold BEFORE the season started

Bill Walton has 8 Pac 12 teams in, including a sub-.500 Stanford.  Right on brand.

Lunardi has 3, with Oregon in the NEXT four out

[ELA]

Murray State just beat Belmont by 30. They are going to wind up being a top 6 seed. Their coach has been there since 2015, got Ja. Someone has to take a shot at him. He's only 43

The refs already let Brad get away with those tight pants, he was walking a tightrope

[MaximumSam]

Well that was more difficult than it probably needed to be

New projection is that tOSU and UW will tie for the league title at 15-5 with IL and PU a game back at 14-6.  If it actually worked out this way I think that tOSU would win the tie:

First tiebreaker is H2H but tOSU and UW split.  

Second tiebreaker is record against the next best team(s) in the league which in this case would be IL/PU:
Wisconsin:

• 2-0 vs PU (won there already, hosting 3/1 projected to win)
• 0-1 vs IL (no game in Madison, lost in Champaign)
• 2-1 total

Ohio State:

• 0-1 vs PU (lost there, no game in Columbus)
• 1-0 vs IL (won there, no game in Columbus)
• 1-1 total

Never mind, UW would win that tie and get the #1 seed while tOSU would get the #2 seed.
