*****Official B1G In Season Thread*****

[dukedevilz]

Yikes on point 2. That is so bad.

Luckiest teams in the B1G:

7 Wisconsin
83 Minnesota
99 MSU
122 OSU
134 Illinois
135 Rutgers
166 Purdue
193 IU
202 Maryland
221 PSU
258 Michigan
278 Iowa
308 Nebraska
356 Northwestern

Wisky and NW are the obvious extreme outliers here. I do think luck is a bad term. Coaching and experience are factors that impact a team's ability to close out tight games. Wisky, MSU and OSU have good coaching. Minnesota is crazy old. On the other end, NW has this guy:

For sure. I mean, Florida State has won 13 straight overtime games. Lucky? Sure, certainly you need luck to win 13 straight OT games. But, obviously coaching and depth play a huge role, too. Some guys are more clutch. And some teams are more likely to pull through in the closing minutes.

I still like the metric, though. To me, it suggests that Providence is a heck of a lot closer to being 16-4 than they are to being 19-1.

Agreed.

Can't imagine what MN sucks then. It was cute that you kept it close.

Has anyone commented on the Illini's record with and without Curbelo?

With Curbelo: 2-4
Without Curbelo: 13-1

The only game they lost without his services was closely contested game against Arizona. And the only wins with him in the lineup, were to Arkansas State and Kansas State. Am I reading too much into this?

2 of the losses with curbelo on the floor were without Kofi. The loss to Purdue was mostly without Kofi and Belo was our best player.

Switch Wishconsin and IL, and it makes sense

Nope. If they win Wednesday, sure. Until then, nope.

I think we are right about where we should be.

Just a little pp, and not a big PP? I'll take that as a win.

MSU just landed Illinois TE Daniel Barker in the transfer portal...Apparently he's Illinois all time TD receptions leader for TEs. Nice

 

[Jaycg15]

I can't send you a PM. But, maybe you could just send screenshots of some of the more interesting stats? I've never had a subscription before, but don't they break a player down into what percentile they are nationally for ppp on virtually every metric?

Yep, anyone you are curious about?

He’s a good get for you guys. good player.
Sad to see him go.

We need offensive lineman. Thorne has weapons but it going to get lit up. I want all of our remaining portal spots to go to them.

 

[MGC_07]

MSU at Michigan rescheduled for 3/1

 

[dukedevilz]

Yep, anyone you are curious about?

I mean, lots of guys. But, that's asking a lot on you.

Since we're in a Big Ten thread, I'd say start with some of the elite players in the conference.

Jaden Ivey
Johnny Davis
Keegan Murray
Ron Harper
EJ Liddell
Trayce Jackson-Davis
Trevion Williams
Zach Edey
Hunter Dickinson
Kofi Cockburn

I don’t particularly give two sh^ts what MSU needs or what you want…simply saying Barker is a good player (terribly under utilized at UI) and that he should be a good one for you guys.

 

[1016CC0503]

Can we switch with MSU then since we beat them last week?

I wasn’t responding to your post dude. Why the hostility.

Michigan fans tried to troll us all season by saying Tucker would leave. Tucker proceeded to sign a huge extension with a huge assistant pay boost and their coach is interviewing with multiple NFL teams after saying he would coach them for free.

Wow! This is amazing! I might have to get a subscription myself.

 

[IUBtown]

TJD with the most excellents so obviously he's POTY.

Yeah, each category has sub categories too. It's crazy the amount of detail.

TBH I was pretty surprised he is rated as excellent on post ups

Did you look at Zach Edey? His numbers are ludicrous.

You guys are killing John Harrar. Haha

Iowa likes the anal rampage.

5 excellents aren't impressive.

It’s not easy doubling your made 3 pointers on January 31 in a single game but he has accomplished that feat.

 

[jwardelt]

Two lightweights just trading blows at this point.
