*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

Is anyone elses sound ****ed up?

It seems like theyre doing the bracket reveal right now and Purdue got the 4th 1 seed.
 
I posted about this yesterday before the game. MSU has beaten 2 tournament teams all year.

You only so high of a seeding ceiling when you have a losing record vs tournament teams.
 
Silly seeding. No way would I have UC over MSU and I can’t make much of a case for Auburn either. Duke and Kansas have several more quality wins.

This is why it's so dumb for these "official" projections to come out so early. If MSU wins out and the B1G tournament (which isn't even a stretch) we are likely a 1 seed.

Well yeah all that I agree with but you have to admit this 30 min show where they flash a bracket and discuss matchups is ****ing awesome for college basketball fans.
 
Uh, Snu.....
Yes? I don’t anticipate this being the final seeding when it’s all said and done. I don’t think Purdue should be a 1 seed over MSU. That whole thing was pretty bad. Their hot take doesn’t change how I feel. But I’m glad you’re so stoked about being labeled a 1 seed prior to Selection Sunday. Think you’ll hang a banner for this???
 



This would undoubtedly be the easiest bracket of all time. Best team is #9 in KenPom. Next best team is #13 and theyre the one seed.

Silly seeding, huh? Yet you’re over the moon about Purdue as a 1 seed. Lulz.
 
I wonder how nervous UVA fans are that the committee purposely dropped MSU to a 3 seed to put them in Virginias bracket again? Lol

Wichita State as a 6 seed would win that auburn xavier Clemson oklahoma bracket

Weak response. Dude, if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m not an over the top homer like some. I can look at wins and losses (and resumes) objectively.

My post had nothing to do with where I think Purdue (or anyone) will end up on Selection Sunday so you are deflecting there.

The only vindication I feel is the clear evidence that either:
  • You are much more biased than I, or
  • I understand seeding much better than you

If UVA and MSU are in the same bracket, I will be pissed. Change it up, do something. People like new matchups, not the same thing over and over again

You’re not? Fooled me. Agree to disagree on your vindication. Lulz.
 
I don’t want to play 2 teams. Texas Tech or West Virginia. Illinois forced 25 TO’s, and they are likeIllinois but actually good (no offense Illini but you know it’s true). Look if get to play first 2 rounds in Detroit I will be happy. Already bought tickets

No. Projections coming out right now give us a glimpse of what the committee is looking for in seeding teams.

It is clear now that resume is pushing the seed moreso than perception especially in the case of a school such as Michigan State. This was unknown to the common fan an hour ago.

Nothing dumb about what we just saw....
 
Like I said bub @SNU0821, resumes matter. Purdue losing twice to good opponents on the last possession isn’t going to hurt them much. Their overall body of work is better than MSU’s. Period. Pipe down on this topic since you clearly demonstrate no objectivity whatsoever when it comes to talking about Purdue.

If your team is not in the tournament you’re exempt from speaking on the topic.
