*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

Well they beat Purdue, Michigan, and Michigan State. Theyre a pretty damn good team.
they also lost to penn state three times. to call them a final four team all year long, particularly at this point in season, is ridiculous. having three Big Ten teams in the final four is also fvcking stupid.

March Madness is stupid. After watching Butler make back to back championship games, 7 seed UConn play 8 seed Kentucky for the title, VCU and George Mason make final fours as double digit seeds, and South Carolina make it as a 7 seed - there may not even be a bracket stupid enough.

Gotta go contrarian in these things to win. Everyone is going to be picking the same 4-5 teams to win it all.

I get why Wednesday is upset. He is about to be gone under that moniker in a week or two and is trying to get it all out.

Because as a Minnesota fan, this is all I have right now...:(




At least our frontcourt depth will be much improved next season and no more Bakary Konate!!! :)

I got Zona winning it all in one bracket.

Would miss my weekly office lol sessions with the salesmen, laughing along as Matty flogs KenPom and then attempts to poo poo the "lil12" aka KenPom Top 2.

Lol stay woke kids, or you'll end up like the youngdumb..

Let me get this straight:

At work - you show my posts to a salesman in your office as you both chuckle at them?

Lolwat?

"Get in here Tom, youre never going to believe what he posted THIS time. That mother****er called us the lil12 again."


Amazing if true bub.
 
Is Leron Black even likely to be drafted? Is he expecting to just go pro anywhere, as long as he is getting paid to play?
 
Good luck Big Ten brethren, even Purdue! Today is a bit like Christmas for me growing up as the son of a high school basketball coach in Indiana. I've even borrowed the tradition my dad started by calling off myself and my son from work/school for the first day of the tournament. Even though Indiana didn't make the tournament, it feels a lot better than last year. A solid foundation has been laid. It still sucks though watching my favorite event in sports without being able to cheer for the Hoosiers in my candy stripe pants.

I'm 39 and wear them by the way, in public even. Though the public part is mainly because I really I just don't GAF. No one in Seattle Eastside has any clue what they are and think they are actual candy cane pants for Christmas.

I could easily see three big ten teams in the finals.

Not calling it as there are a lot of other good teams. I’m certain that the Nuts won’t be one of them though.
 
I believe @Jaycg15 said this was the plan awhile ago. Illinois is going to be pretty shitty again next year.
We have two guys that we hear are interested in that would replace him. All depends on dominoes. One would be better than Leron.
 
He put me on ignore. After, of course, going into a random thread and quoting me.

I dont have either of you or anyone on ignore. Everyones good in my book. I dont log in to rivals to trade insults with people, I log in to talk basketball. Your pms were just annoying the shit out of me so I put you on ignore long enough for my jimmies to fully unrustle.

Ive since gone to the Dr and shown him where you rustled me and hes prescribed me cream that I am applying generously and boy do I feel cured.


Merry Christmas boys

You're not bringing in any players at this point who are better than him.

Not that you're aware of (and it's not a certainty), but there has been a lot of conversation from a couple guys that are interested if the cards fall.

He was a great scorer, but he didn't do anything else that's irreplaceable. Average rebounder, bad defender, terrible passer (less than 50 assists in his entire career of 102 games), fouled a lot. Losing him isn't a positive, but it's not a death knell yet.

Who are these guys you're talking about?
