*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

Nunge or Garza aren’t NBA guys.
neither were Bullard or Bowen when they were FR.
3* Marble as a FR WAS NOT a NBA player either and yet by the time he was a SENIOR [SHIT THERES THAT WORD AGAIN] became a 1st Team All BT and 2nd round NBA pick and played for 3 years before he was raked across the eyes which needed surgery to repair and ended his career.
White was another unranked 3* who developed into a 1st Team All BT and 2nd round NBA Draft pick as a OMFG A SENIOR
Uthoff was a 3* by Rival and as a OMFG A SENIOR became a 1st Team All BT and 2nd Team AA
3* Jok and as a OMFG A SENIOR became a 1st Team All BT.

And Iowa, OMFG, is 1-6 and the worst defensive team in D1. And the worst thing is that all of those players are back next year.
 
Current KenPom projected final Big Ten standings:

Purdue 16-2
Ohio State 15-3
MSU 13-5
Michigan 12-6
Nebraska 9-9
Maryland 9-9
Indiana 8-10
Penn State 8-10
Minnesota 7-11
Northwestern 7-11
Wisconsin 7-11
Rutgers 5-13
Illinois 5-13
Iowa 5-13

Man, that's what I call top heavy.

What kind of point spreads are on those Hoosier games?

My guess is there will be quite a few within 4-5 points either way
 
Michigan State ain't losing 5 times
I don't think so either but they've looked pretty poor on the road. They've played only 2 road games all year so far and beat Rutgers 62-52 and lost to OSU 80-64.

7 of their last 12 games are on the road and they have the Purdue game at home. If they don't get some things shored up, it's not out of the question for them to go 5-3 in those games.

By the way, how does a team get to the 3rd week of January and have only played two road games all year?

Thanks! Appreciate it

-16 on Friday and -12 at home against Purdue damn
 
Iowa has a lot of bad players and they are all young. lol not sure that's all that good for the future @nitewing
that has been said before but each time those same type of players improved as JR's and SR's
Lutes SO won just 4 BT Games then as JR's won the BT Championship and as SR's reached the FF
Eldon Millers JR and SO won just 4 games then as JR and SR's went undefeated and won the BT Championship

strange there's that word again SENIORS, you act like none of them CAN OR WILL IMPROVE.
Kriener is a SOPHAMORE
Pemsl is a SOPHAMORE
Dailey is a SOPHAMORE
Nunge is a FRESHMAN
Garza is a FRESHMAN
Cook is a SOPHAMORE he has increased his scoring avg and rebounding since his FRESHMAN season from 12.3 ppg and 5.5 rpg to 15.1 ppg and 6.6 rpg which leads the team in both catagories
Bohannon is a SOPHAMORE and has increased from 10.9 ppg to 13.0 ppg with the assist staying the same and he is on pace to pass both the 3 pointers made and assists and he made 89 3 pointers last season and had 175 assists, plus he has increased his shooting % in all 3 catagories
RSSO Moss has gone from 6.5 ppg to 12.1 ppg and has improved his shooting in all 3 catagories.

to state that none of these players will improve is bordering on wishful thinking or complete idiocy, take your pick
 
I know this game isnt as relevant as say....reliving laughing at Iowa

But the OSU Bench is the difference here...KBD not having a day at all and bucks still up 15
 
If they can get this from Potter now that he is healthy that is a real game changer for their depth.
 
Losses already this week by:

#4
#6
#7
#8
#17
#18
#19 (in a few minutes)
#20
#25

#21 is down 10 with less than 6 minutes to go as well.

If OSU and Michigan both go without a loss this week, we might have four Big Ten teams in the top 15.

Eastern (freshman), Edwards(sophAmore), Cline(junior), Eifert(walk-on), and Haarms(freshman). Take these five over yours today and next season.
 
Collins loves that dumb play where McIntosh comes off a ball screen and just dives for the baseline with only one play to skip it across to the backside corner.

You have a four-year starting point guard - maybe trust him to make a read or two on a play in crunch-time.

Collins is so overrated.

Super overrated.
