*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

[MGC_07]

There is no argument to be made that McQuaod and Langford are good starters.

For the 2nd season in a row now, Langford has been a net negative player in conference play. It is impossible to justify any argument that treats him as a good player. It is blatant trolling.

I struggle to think of any team in the conference that would have worse wings than the McQuaid/Langford duo next season.

I think they will improve (Langford, I mean) but dude, Senior Matt McQuaid will be a good starter. I’m sure of it. A good shooter, has good vision for a SG. Gets a good amount of rebounds for his height, and most of all, is a good defender. He’s not great, but I’ll be damned if he is a bad player next year.

 

[MGC_07]

Hand in the face hasn't stopped him. He's made a bunch of shots like that this year. I'd also say Cassius had the game of his life. He really couldn't miss.

Also 10-19 isn't "couldn't miss".

7-11 is much closer to couldn't miss than Davison.

6-6 from 3 for Cass vs 3-7 for Davison.

Sorry, I meant for a stretch. He was saying Brad abused our guards, and I wa saaying he hit some tough shots. Cassius Winston will have a game that tops that one. I will say that without doubt right now. Maybe not shooting percentage wise, but he will have a game better than 20/6/5.

 

[nitewing]

Admittedly I didn't look too hard into the freshman numbers.

I'd add Frazier & Davidson & take off Livers & Garza.

why take Garza off. does it have anything to do with your hate of all things Iowa, Garza is the 2nd leading scorer of the BT FR with 32 blocks and 196 rebounds.

those stats are better than White who was a 1st Team BT FR and a FR AA.

Garza should make the BT FR team member despite your hatred for Iowa.

He'll score more points but tough to beat 6/6 from 3.

Brad hits tough shots quite often. Just what he does because he's not overly quick to get huge separation. Pretty nice stepback jump shooter.

Man, what will it be like when your team is good over the next few years and he gets more good looks. Scary

Luka Garza is not the 2nd leading scorer of the Big Ten freshman

He's doing this with one arm basically. Just getting him healthy will be a boost. He'll probably move off ball more next year going forward which he is better suited for. I'm guessing we'll play a lot of 3 guard lineups next year.

 

[jwardelt]

He's below Davison, for the year. I don't know who is leading scorer for whole season or B1G season only.

 

[nitewing]

YES he is as the BT announcers said this last night.

 

[Mgkcbb]

Here is all the B1G frosh sorted by points scored in conference games only.

Garza is indeed tied for 2nd with JJJ in points scored by a frosh in conf games.

He’s 3rd in all games, which is actually surprising.

It is but so is this:
Frazier leads all frosh in scoring and assist, both by a wide margin. Did not realize he wasballin so much.

For sure 2nd behind JJJ in frosh of the year.

Fraizer and JJJ locks for Frosh team. Davison and Wesson are most likely on it. Garza will probably get more votes than Bruno.

Davison is a lock.

Sucks we have to play at 11am. Maryland is next on the get-back tour. You guys up for it?

Fvck no were not up for it. Were going to lose, we just suffered our worst loss in XFinity.

 

[pig1960]

Why not. I'll take MSU.

Groovy

 

[pig1960]

Just watched the replay of Bohannon missing the free throw. First class all the way.

 

[ThreeTwaunMoore]

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

I like money. I will do a bet with you that next year MSU finishes 7 or higher. You in

I won't take that bet but I'll bet that Michigan finishes higher

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

@Mgkcbb I didn't realize Langford was that bad. I might have to reconsider putting MSU at #2.

Sorry @bMORE607 and the other guy I was arguing with.

@Jaycg15

Here is an avatar for your lost bet. I chose it because he is a better offensive coach than Underwood.

What does Michigan beating Iowa have to do with the bet?

Why are you talking about next year already?

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Why are you talking about next year already?

I figured you'd enjoy talking about next year given how much shittier than expected this year went for Underwood.

 

[Jaycg15]

Give me a week, and then I'll go full Gil on you.

Who thought Illinois would be different under Underwood? I'd expect more of the same next year.

 

[jwardelt]

Who beat you down at home? Haven't paid much attention lately to Maryland.

 

[bMORE607]

Michigan

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

We made an avatar bet where I win if Illinois missed the tournament.

 

[bMORE607]

Live look @hailtoyourvictor taking that bet

Sorry @Jaycg15

 

[jwardelt]

Was that for this year? Stupid on his part. Same for next year.

 

[Jaycg15]

Who thought Illinois would be different under Underwood? I'd expect more of the same next year.

Set the parameters for the bet.

This team is already playing much better basketball than the beginning of the B10 season, and I'd expect at least 1-2 transfers in and out and another top 100 commit by June. If we get Ramey, I'll predict another transfer out and obviously that'd include another top 50 recruit (not as optimistic about this one). Really liking the potential we have of landing a really solid transfer forward.

 

[Jaycg15]

I also explicitly said I didn't think I'd win the bet when I took it.

AS he should. take off your haters glasses for Iowa off.

For sure 2nd behind JJJ in frosh of the year.

Frazier played 533 minutes and scored 254 points
Garza played 419 minutes and scored 223 points
JJJ played 400 minutes and scored 223 points
Davidson played 598 minutes and scored 215 points

Garza was also 2nd in rebounding I doubt that Garza is going to be left off the All BT FR team.
