*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

This why most on here are HYPOCRITES, Fran loses key pieces and is trashed repeatedly

Pitino loses key pieces and gets a complete pass even though they were predicted to have a better finish.
 
PG Williams would have been a JR, while not a scorer last year but as a perimeter defender at 6'6 with a 7'0 wingspan made him a very good defensive player who quit 1 week before the 1st game.
Baer the returning BT 6th MOY broke his finger on his shooting had and missed the 1st 6 games and never really recovered the form that made him the 6TH man. then there were the multiple concussions that knocked players out of the game,

Connor who was going to RS took the RS off to replace Williams suffered a ankle injury, then Mono which put him into the Hospital, then he had his Tonsils out, which put him into the hospital twice because of complications

Connor now is on a Medical RS as he only played in 4 games in December,

I made my prediction based on who should been healthy and still on the team.

just like Minnesota fans had big hopes before injuries and legal troubles took out 2 of their players and their season went to hell in a handbasket.

guess what so did Iowa's but you don't see people ripping little Pintino do you?

Minnesota and Iowa both suck. Do you think Fran should recruit more depth?
 
So I was supposed to meet three friends in the city today and this how it’s gone:

Buddy 1: flew early this morning from Pitt and made it in with no issues

Buddy 2: got really sick and went to the hospital with the flu. Not going to make it from Philly.

Buddy 3: went to the Austin airport at 11:30. Boarded and deplaned 3 times after switching flights twice. Was told a few minutes ago that the third plane/flight has been cancelled. Hopefully he can make it tomorrow.

Me: Boarded the train in CT at 6:08. Train goes for about 35 min and stops due to a tree on the tracks. After 40 minutes they said that the train is cancelled and will take us backwards. I get off on first stop and am in an Uber going the rest of the way. I may make the 8:55 Purdue start, but it will be tight. Have to drop my bags off at the Soho Grand before going to MSG.

why such a mess?

he is bring in 2 more guards and adds a 3rd in Connor, what do you think?
he was down Bohannon as the only true PG and now Connor, Fredrick along with Dailey who went to on the job training to be a pg, that makes 3 solid option at the PG Position.

Wieskamp will give Fran the options at the 2 position
Wieskamp
Ellingson
Dailey
Moss
Fredrick

these will give Fran these for option at the 3 position
Wieskamp
Moss
Baer
Wagner
Dailey

as for losing Jok looking back yes as he was the senior leader in the 16-17 season. as for his production he was 2nd in 3 point made and shooting percentage to Bohannon as he made 89 3's to Joks 82 and JBo made 96 3's in 33 games.

and the scoring at 19.9 ppg were made up by a pair of FR
Garza 12.1 ppg and Nunge 5.7 ppg.
even Joks rebounding numbers of 176 total Garza had 211 rebounds the production numbers were easy to replace
ppg with Jok 81 ppg
W/O Jok 80 ppg
even Moss went from 6.5 ppg to 11.1 ppg.
W/O the injuries his loss would not have been that big.
another thing to look at with Jok there were only 3 players in dbl digit scoring
W/O Jok there were 4 players in dbl digits in scoring.

this team did not have that upper classmen leadership that
JR Williams could have and with JR Baer missing the games in November and early December never got a chance to take that role.

this is where a fully healthy Baer from day one as a SR will make a huge difference

Damn Bardo just called Keita Bates Diop soft. Have never heard him be critical of a player or coach ever.
 
Bardo just called KBD soft for losing ball on OSU's last possession. Seemed like an unnecessary callout to me
 
When Ohio State plays Penn State it might as well be a different sport for them. It's not even comparable how much better they matchup and play than just about any other team.

They clearly have no answers for them defensively and offensively KBD might as well be playing 1 on 5 because no one else on the roster can make a play against their defense.

Would not be surprised at all if PSU loses by double digits tomorrow.

guess what so did Iowa's but you don't see people ripping little Pintino do you?

You seriously aren't comparing the loss of Williams and McCaffery to the loss of Reggie Lynch, Amir Coffey, and Eric Curry are you?

yes I am Williams and Connor are both PG's with 6'6 Williams being the best defender on the team, and that is what Iowa was missing a defender at the point and a key backup at the point.
Connor another PG that @ 6'5 added a longer defender on the perimeter vs 6'0 Bohannon

both of these would have allowed Bohannon to rest and move to the SG.

AND BT 6th MOY definitely = Curry. this team was hurt more by losing PG Williams and not having Connor to replace Williams is far more important to this years Iowa team.

and whose fault is that Minnesota didn't have players on the bench to cover?

seems like that has been what people are ripping Fran for, like I said these Hypocrite give lil Ricky a complete pass for the same thing they rip/trash Fran for
