*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

[boilerzz]

Well this thread went off the rail. You have Purdue fans taking one side of a conversation and assuming it means impropriety by IU (it, in and of itself, does not). And you have IU fans being butthurt and deflecting with their typical BS rhetoric. And wouldn’t you know it, Snu and Westy are front and center as the ringleaders.

Meanwhile, I’m sure fans of every other program represented are wishing you immature jackasses would take your bickering to a different thread. Hell, I do and I’m a Purdue fan.

I'd love to see him take that step. Gonna really need him and Haarms to step into much bigger roles next year. Dakota has had the luxury of not being leaned on too many times this year; Cline won't have the depth of talent around him to have that same situation next year.

Agreed. I do think Hunter will play a lot next season as the scoring 6th man off the bench. Think he’s too smart/talented of a player not to “get” Painter’s system before the year. I know he’s undersized right now but his scoring will be needed next season and I think he has the quickness/shot to contribute right away.

Can it go off the rail if it was never truly on though?

 

[klize17]

20 wins shouldn’t be difficult to get to with the amount of games. You do take a away a couple of bad opponents with two extra B1G, so that might make it a bit more challenging

Don’t like it? Don’t read the thread. Simple really.

Yeah, I assume theyll drop a few OOC and end in the 7-10 win range in the B10. So getting to 20 is doable, but gonna be tough and I would say not likely.

"Ringleader" for suggesting Purdue could win 20 games? Interesting.

Zz with his holier than thou act once again. Not my fault SNU ruins any discussion on this thread. All I said was I think Purdue can win 20 games next year and I get flamed by IU fans for it. What did I do exactly that you're tired of?

That's all I'm saying, and I get lambasted for it.

 

[B-Westy]

. You just get al pissy when I dont think Purdue is the greatest thing in the world .

"Greatest thing in the world"

Nah man you're going crazy b/c I think Purdue can win 20 games next year. You're insane.

@bMORE607 who isn’t healthy for Maryland?

Came out of my mini retirement and had a successful NBA evening.

I like Maryland as a home dog

Yep. If you were saying 25 it’d be a different story. Sure we have some unknowns but I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone like Hunter or Wheeler really step up next year.

 

[boiler1987]

Kenpom says otherwise. When did he get hurt again? Time of year?

The 09/10 team was better. He got hurt exactly 8 years ago today.

 

[joe for prez]

Don’t forget, in Purdue’s quest for 20 wins they will play some schools(MSU, iu?) that may get blown up by the fbi and NCAA

Lol bad flame attempt

Ok so pretty late in the year. Not enough to skew numbers that much. This year is better, especially offensively.

8 years? Christ I’m old

You and me both haha.

Not that piece that I'm referencing. It's these (although I will say after reading back thru it, you aren't the ringleader of the FBI piece):

Moral vicitories!!! Woo!!! #nextyear

No no no I’m assured it’s just crazy Purdue fans conjuring up conspiracy theories!

You drop shit like that and then get butthurt when Snu get's typically hyperbolic on you.

 

[klize17]

Damn glad I didn’t make a move on Maryland

 

[SNU0821]

Yep. If you were saying 25 it’d be a different story. Sure we have some unknowns but I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone like Hunter or Wheeler really step up next year.

You will have a team of mostly unknowns. It’s not crazy thinking you’ll end up at 18 wins or around there.

I was drunk. Sue me.

Did your iPhone let you down?

 

[klize17]

Great app back in the day

 

[boilerzz]

Michigan going after our Big Ten record for made threes. And amazingly, it's not against Iowa (like ours was).

 

[klize17]

Maryland quit. Hell of a half for michigan

 

[Toast.]

I have been assured Izzo has done nothing wrong.

According to MSU fans, he cried & wore a lapel pin to show support for the victims.

What do you want from this man? He wore a damn LAPEL PIN for gods sake.

Just bumping this bc it’s gr8 work.

 

[B-Westy]

I don’t take a college basketball message board too seriously.

 

[gowolverines8]

Uh oh Michigan’s offense is starting to come around with the Poole emergence, frightening considering how this team can guard.

They’ve shown flashes of it all season, if they can start doing it more consistently, could make a hell of a tourney run.

 

[Mgkcbb]

Spoiler: Live look at the Michigan-Maryland game

Livers gets a week off to get healthy and then another week + after the BTT to get healthy for the NCAA tournament.

Michigans scary good.

Holy sh1t just saw the box score. Um can get hot as hell sometimes. When they are making threes they are really hard to beat.

11-19 from three in the first half. Unreal

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Arguably two best halves of basketball in B1G this season:

Purdue at Iowa - January 20th

Michigan at Maryland - February 24th

 

[Mgkcbb]

B1G is about to have 4 Top 15 KenPom teams once Michigan surges up to about 14th/15th or so after this game gets logged.

 

[Mgkcbb]

I hope when Mo VVagner returns to Michigan next season that Michigan draws Duke in the ACC/B1G challenge and absolutely dump trucks that super team.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

So this is the Maryland team I'm suppose to be worried about next year?

 

[bMORE607]

Yikes will be deleting immediately from the dvr

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

The conference is going to be a two horse race in the state of Michigan. Not really worried about OSU, Purdue, IU or Maryland.

Lots and lots to play out. Probably going to see a free for all of transfers with coaches getting fired. We will see what rosters look like come August. Potential huge market of grad transfers
