*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

Congrats Michigan. I really hope we see more of Nojel and less PJ. If PJ isn’t hitting 3’s, he’s a complete liability. Nojel can defend a lot of positions and rebound. I’ll take him even with his broke ass shot haha.

PJ and Cline are the same exact players. Im convinced.

PJ got tiki torched by Simpson today.

Bad trade looking at it now, but Kendall probably needed that year off last year that he wouldn’t have gotten at Purdue
Eh, I'm still fine with it. He was a great shooter - but was a totally one-dimensional player who never really played up to his potential and physical gifts. Had all the tools to be a lethal 3-and-D guy, but was never locked in on that end of the court.

Plus, I'm not sure we see the development in Mathias if those three are still trying to split minutes last year.
 
That was part of it but wasn’t a big part of it because his best friend died? He really struggled after that from what I remember.

Think him transferring was probably best for him to clear his mind and get a fresh start.
That probably was part of it. After he started losing minutes he took that leave of absence from the team for a week or two and then never really got back in the rotation.

As you said, I think it was good for both parties for him to get a fresh start elsewhere; couldn't have been easy trying to live up to his dad's legacy on top of everything else.

Hey, who was that MSU slappy who kept coming in and saying

"If Michigan doesnt beat Texas they won't make the tourney"

Lol

Noticed we havent seen him around lately.

Was it this guy or something else?


Michigan might not make the NIT

Dude Michigan isn't very good..

New Kenpom #1. For all you analytic junkies..

Barring injury this could truly be a special year for MSU.
 
I’m guessing Kramer to IU fans was Sheehey to Purdue fans. Don’t think there was another IU player of my time as a Purdue fan that I wanted to punch in the face more than Sheehey.

Maybe. I was gonna go with my current avi as @pig1960 is old school and hates Knight quite a but, and I think he's a democrat but the Sheehey picture above just seemed like something Purdue fans would hate. I hope he chooses to donate. I've already gotten $200 donated to St. Jude on bets this year.

Damn that's an amazingly good read except for the dem part. I'm an equal opportunity hater of both major parties.
 
Whole exchange.

UM looks like trash and probably won’t make the tourney.

Wrong and wrong.


Plenty of Beilein teams get blown out early in the season. We will make the tournament despite looking like dogshit today.

Dude Michigan isn't very good..

They look like shit right now, but looking like shit early on has become a staple.

@silerbr2

Two years ago Michigan lost 3 OOC by double digits:

By 16 you Xavier
By 14 to UConn
By 24 to SMU


That team still won 10 games in conference and made the tournament.

Writing off Michigan as being a lock to miss the tournament because of a 20 point loss AT North Carolina seems a bit silly.
 
3 months ago Spartan said Michigan didn't look like a tournament team. Now Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament and is en route to a 3 seed but he sits here saying Beilein didn't overachieve this year. Make up you're god damn mind, kid.
 
Xavier Tillman needs to start above Nick Ward next year. Nick has a poor attitude, and really isn’t good at anything expect post offense. Xavier has better vision, higher basketball IQ, a harder worker, a much better attitude, and plays a lot better defensively. You are sacrificing a bit of offense for everything else. I think it makes sense.

Hell, maybe even right now. Izzo won’t, but I hope it at least happens next year.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Ward transferred. I hope he doesn't though, seems like the type of player who will flourish playing 4 years under Izzo. He's gotta buy in to the system and process though, otherwise he's gonna be a cancer.

Correct. He does not buy into our system at all. He thinks he deserves more minutes, but the truth is, he doesn’t. He is awful against centers 6-11 or taller, or ones that can stretch the floor (or both like Mo Wagner). He is turnover prone in the post and won’t pass out of double teams. He also lets the emotions get the best of him and complains about every call. He sits there and pouts whenever he gets benched and doesn’t even cheer on the team. He also doesn’t have great conditioning so he can’t play a ton. He might stay, but him transferring or playing in Europe is a really possibility. His mom is also clearly not happy with the minutes he is getting.
 
Bunch of damn babies around here. Purdue has won nothing this year. Congrats on winning the B1G one whole year after Indiana did. Purdue’s best team ever doesn’t win the conference or conference tournament.
I know...2 game lead, with six to play. Finish 3rd. Yet beating their chest.

Yaaaaay.......We finished 3rd. After being 12-0.Laughing

It used to be fun friendly banter with 87, Cardinal, Toast, Pig and a couple others. Talk some trash after a big loss and move on. Now a bunch of trash comes over after they get good and bitch after they lose
 
Been around for awhile. Dad had been upset since Mark chose Illinois over MSU. Still has a meeting with Whitman and Underwood from what I gathered. Big shake ups coming to our roster this week.

Damn. Not out of the ordinary after 1st season with a new coach.

Remind me did Smith commit to Underwood or Groce?

Underwood. Nothing is definitive at the moment, but it's going to be a busy spring.

Smith's dad thinks Underwood misled them about giving Smith the keys to the kingdom. Hard to give a guy the keys when he plays like Mark did this season.

If you had to guess, who is your programs next head coach?

Indiana: Andrew Dakich (this one is hopefully a long way out)

Not surprising a kid who explodes like that comes in with a big head...or a father with a big head.

I still think he will be a good one up he sticks around for you but if he/dad are going to be issues don’t blame Underwood to cut the ties

Can we stop with this? It’s not close to accurate. Off the top of my head, there are at least 3 or 4 that are better (including the Hummel team before the injury). Purdue benefitted this year from a down B1G. Hardly their best team ever.
