5 teams in 2018-2019 season you are most intrigued by

Getting minutes on a shitty team is easier than getting minutes on a good team. You’ve been around basketball your whole life and can’t grasp that?
So now you wanna change things up....?

Imagine that.

You win. Coming off the bench for a 30 win team, is, well, shit that All-Americans are made of.

BTW, that shitty team lost to that 30 win team by a whopping 7 points.
 
Then make the Purdue not top 4 ban bet? If you dont think they take a big step back, then it's an easy bet. Even if they go from 2nd to 4th you win...

Indiana returns more production than Michigan by quite a bit. If play development means nothing then it should be easy to take Indiana over Michigan.
 
I’ll ban bet you Michigan finishes higher than your team. I hear the same shit about “such and such can’t be replaced by Joe Backup because Joe Backup didn’t do much last year”. It’s lazy analysis. Development happens.
You know what, I'll take it. 1 year ban bet that IU has a higher BTT seed than Michigan.

Certainly not as good as coming off the bench for a 16 win team.
 
Try harder or don’t try at all. I never once said Purdue would be good. I’m calling out Borden’s logic that there is no difference behind no cracking the starting lineup on a 0-40 team vs a 40-0 team.
Yeah, ummm, b/c that is the comparison.Laughing IU lost to Purdue by 7...OSU at the buzzer...MSU by 3. Duke by 10 and UL by 9. All 5 games IU easily could have won. But yeah, that's comparable to an 0-40 team.Laughing

That's a lot of moral victories for a supposed blue blood.
 
I will take IU's line-up of:

Green, Langford, Smith, McRoberts and Morgan(projected opening night) over Edwards and who the hell else Purdue starts.

Actually, a ban bet doesn't make sense. I didn't realize that you only have 65 total posts here. You putting up a ban bet doesn't really mean anything. It'd be like me make a 1 year "No Listening To Coldplay" bet.

I'll bet you $100 that Michigan finishes ahead of Indiana in Kenpom's ranking and $100 in B1G standings. If a team is better in both that's $200. That's the best way to do it because of unbalanced schedules.

We give the $200 to a 3rd party poster that we both trust to hold it until seasons end.

Lol I knew you would be too scared in the end to do it. I thought you had faith in Michigan. Maybe the ass beatings they took in Spain scared you off.

Indiana only beat Penn State by 4, Maryland by 3, Iowa by 2. Those all easily could have been losses. I can do this, too.
 
Man, Boiler, I just don't know. I mean, yeah "get minutes", probably. But who does Cline take minutes from: Durham? Green? Langford? Sure Cline can shoot it---but so can Fitzner, McRoberts(shot 39%) and Langford. Green wasn't bad from three, when he took good shots(34%). Just not sure who's minutes Cline gets. Eastern is a wild card; 6'6". Good defender. Decent off the bounce. Not a great shooter. And TBH, I'm not so sure he's that much better of a defender than Green/McRoberts. So again, who's minutes does he get?

Its possible. But I don't think its a given.

Oh, Eifert wouldn't see the floor.
Get minutes is all we were discussing. Not that they would start, but they would get minutes.

I didn't realize that you were offering a bet on something you don't care about losing. 65 posts vs 22,000 posts. A bet that prohibits each person from posting makes sense to you?

I know you're too scared to put up actual money (and not a forum you hardly ever use).
 
Just facts, brother. Also, I'll take IU's history over Purdue's anytime. Better to have been a "supposed blue blood", then to have never been consider one.Winking
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Now even comparing themselves to "little brother."

Bobby is rolling over in his grave.

Lol look at my joined date. I dont have 22k posts because I dont spend 12 hrs/day trolling. I would certainly put up actual money, but there are no posters I trust.

Either you are confident in Michigan being better than IU, or you arent. I'm confident in IU.

So you average 20 posts a month? And getting you banned is suppose to be rewarding for me or some sort of loss for you?
 
I don't know why you all are wasting your time arguing about Indiana/Purdue/Michigan when Minnesota is going to deep dick the league. SmokinSmile

Your reward would be you spending the next year telling everyone and their brother that you got someone banned on a forum. You seem like someone who would really enjoy that. But again, you arent confident enough in your team...

This thread is proof positive that, eventually, everything always devolves into a Minnesota fan believes his team is going to deep dick the league. AMIRITE???

No one knows who you are or cares if you are banned or not. That's the point.

$50 bet to a charity of the winners choice. Loser must provide proof of donation.

You should do more than just post scores. IU led the PSU game the entire way, and led most of the 2nd half by 8 points or so. Final score was helped by some late three's with 8 and 2 seconds left.

MD game was close .

Beat Iowa by 13 earlier in the year...Game at Iowa, trailed biug early---rallied. Lead by 13 late, coughed up the lead, held on.

Comparing? There isn't any. Congrats on your great run during arguably IU's worst decade plus. And PU accomplished exactly what? Same amount of Big 10 titles....Same amount of Sw 16's...What---2 or 3 more NCAAT?

Good for you guys.
 
We get it, you have concerns that Michigan lost too much, and that your guys wont develop enough to beat players that played on a 16 win team last year.

Sounds like you might have financial problems and can’t bet something that actually matters to you.
 
When you just post scores it tells the whole story right?
Would you like the story? I mean, I'm pretty sure most here watched/paid attention to those games I listed, i.e. Purdue, MSU, Duke, OSU and UL. Didn't feel the need to talk about how close those games were throughout. But I can. As for the games you listed---Iowa, PSU and Maryland.?? I doubt anyone outside of the teams fan bases, paid much attention.

You know and understand the difference. Just you being you.

The close losses all should’ve been wins. The close wins were all locks. We get it.
