2023-2024 B1G Basketball Thread

I know Purdue will be a #1 seed, but I have little faith in them making the final 4... I think they'll struggle to make the elite 8.  Solid basketball, but they never have impressed me with their athleticism.

Look at Wisconsin, just showing grit and gusts pulling that out.

A10 has easily won tourney of the year this year

What happened?

I've been busy all day with the kids. I checked scores a while ago, I thought Nebraska was up big.

Illinois decided to play some defense in the 2nd half and Nebraska got into foul trouble.  Shannon went off.

Was hoping for a prop bet of whether Wisconsin would score more points than the last time they played Nebraska in a Big Ten title game

Illinois seems like a mighty tall task for Wisconsin tomorrow, but I suppose you never know.

Usually heading into a tournament, there is a number of wins where I will feel Wisconsin is not disappointing, and then one where I feel they have exceeded expectations. In this tournament they met expectations. with two wins and have now exceeded them. In the tournament to come, I think one win meets expectations and anything more is gravy

Honestly @MaximumSam the more you type the more ridiculous you sound.

Holtmann sucked at Ohio State, ergo he had to be fired. 

If Ohio State's next coach also sucks then they screwed up the hiring decision but that has no bearing on the firing decision. 

You either have the rights coach or you do not. If you don't then it is time to move on because eventually you'll get it right.

Post through it I guess. I was right about almost everything.

Sounds like they are hiring Diebler. Which I like. I'm hopeful it will solve the roster issues, and while obviously he is an unknown, I agree that coach's are crapshoots in a lot of ways so nothing wrong with taking a gamble on what you have. There was a lot about Holtmann's stuff that was very good, so blowing up the program never made a ton of sense.

LoL.
I'm sure you got something right but I don't remember it.

Weird watching the last ever Pac12 CG.

Oregon is wrapping up a win over Colorado and if they both make their conference CG next year . . .

[medinabuckeye1]

Damn bid-thieving Ducks.

 I was talking about Holtmann landing at Depaul while he was still coaching here. You probably missed it talking about how great Randy Ayers was

Despite playing 5 against 8 too.






You cannot breathe on Edey without being called for a foul. Meanwhile, the elbowsaurus can whack you in the head on offense and be gifted a foul call.

F him. Edey phone home. Just go lose a foot and flip burgers.
