2024-2025 B1G Basketball Thread

[ELA]

I mean its important to me because MSU is busy shitting their pants, and have by far the hardest remaining schedule.  Purdue is rolling right now, if we lose the Big Ten to them, that happens.  If Michigan can win 2 Big Ten titles, with 2 different coaches, the first of which got fired for sucking, since MSUs last Big Ten title, feels like maybe we need to reconsider how we build the roster

Wisconsin-Purdue about to get out of hand. Boilers were up 5 and got called for a soft offensive foul. 

Looked like an accidental dick punch, but called a flagrant 2 and he’s ejected. Oy.

That's life in Mackey.

Wisconsin's offense has been something else in this second half

[847badgerfan]

Huge win for Big Red.

And how was that foul for holding Winter from behind not an F1?

Badgers offense just went supernova. They were 20-22 on 2-point shots. 

Weird game for Purdue. The defense didn’t feel like it was playing that bad, but just got cooked.

Great day for road teams.

good game at Illinois

Defensive clinic.  Illinois didnt score in the final 8:38

Great day for road teams.

It is not often that road teams go 4-0 in this league:

• Wisconsin won in West Lafayette 
• Washington won in State College 
• Minnesota won in Troy
• Michigan State won in Champagne-Urbana 

I hope this does NOT continue on Sunday:

• 11-2 Michigan at 7-7 Ohio State-2.5, 1pm CBS
• 6-8 Nebraska-2.5 at 4-10 Northwestern, 3pm BTN
• 5-8 Iowa at 9-5 Maryland-11.5, 5pm FS1
• 5-9 Rutgers at 6-8 Oregon-7, 7pm FS1

Michigan moves a game up on second if they win. If the Buckeyes win then the Wolverines and Spartans are in a tie for first at 11-3. Interestingly, Michigan's next game is against MSU in AA. A win would do a lot toward securing a bid for tOSU.

Nebraska is the B1G's bubbliest 🫧 team so getting a win (and avoiding a loss) in Evanston could be crucial for the Cornhuskers. 


Iowa and Rutgers are each in trouble Vis-a-vis making the dance. Neither game is necessarily do-or-die but they are close to it.
