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

[hailtoyourvictor]

As if that one screenshot absolves him from the copious amounts of off-season shit posting in regards to Michigan's upcoming season, and the amount of trolling he was on last night. Yawn.

I made it pretty clear all in the offseason that I don’t put alot of stock in teams struggling early, especially if there was alot of turnover. Me and @otte21 talked about cupcakes vs challenges for like two days. I said I’m cool with weak a NCSOS because it gives teams time to develop young players and a rotation. Up until yesterday Adrian Nunez was our first guard off the bench.

With Michigan’s roster I thought Seton Hall would be a tough game early on. Sue me.

 

[Deathclutch]

Minnesota = only B1G team thats undefeated and has won an early season tournament.......

 

[Jaycg15]

I said Seton Hall would be a tough test before Illinois lost. I then restated it. Because they are are tough test.


Again, it’s a weird conundrum you put me in. If I think Michigan will win every game easy, you’ll blast me for being a homer. If I think there are games Michigan could struggle, you’ll blast me for “covering my ass”.

What were your motives for posting that screenshot?

Again, we're not stupid.

To show that I thought Seton Hall was a tough early season matchup for us and then they ended up being a tough matchup for us.

Why did you want us to think that you thought SH was a tough early season matchup?

 

[cmore79]

I copied and pasted this text that I sent to a buddy last week.

"We could lose every game this year. Marquette for sure. Dangerous teams out there."

Illinois is now fully immune from shit-posting from Big Ten fans on any losses this year.

 

[MGC_07]

MSU could lose to Butler tonight.

I am posting this at 12:34 EST and will not be editing this.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Because this is a college basketball message board where we discuss things like if we are surprised our team struggled or not.

 

[Toast.]

Purdue will not lose a game this season. I will not be amending this post.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

If I thought/said Michigan will handle Seton Hall easy, I'd be called a homer.

If I thought/said Michigan could struggle with Seton Hall, I apparently get whatever this shit show is.

 

[HoosierstuckinIowa]

Purdue will not lose a game this season. I will not be amending this post.

Indiana will lose games this year, possibly tonight. I might amend this post due to outside influences.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

I wonder if Terrance Williams should try missing free throws the rest of the way.

There's a possibility that Illinois loses in the tournament before the national championship.

Whew. Glad that I can just be a piece of shit without abandon now.

This faux outrage is playing well. Everyone's buying it.

Oh, now it's outrage. This keeps getting better.

 

[Orlando Buckeye]

That would be a massive loss imo. I thought OSU really needed him to do some off the dribble stuff and creating.

Agreed. Sueing is a 5th year senior who has averaged double figure scoring every season he’s played and his minutes will probably be split between a few freshman.

Rodgers to Illinois

Our recruiting is really falling off without Antigua and Chin…

@NC_Trojan10

I expect MSU to be very active in the portal after this season.

We were sort of playing catch-up in this recruitment. Didn’t recruit him until we lost Bates, and the dude plays for Meanstreets. A kid playing for Meanstreets means they ain’t coming to MSU.

He’s a great player. I think he’s the perfect glue guy type. Can defend at the college level immediately

So that puts you at 53, 75, and 105? Nice lol

Epps and Harris will both rise next update. But nice rationale.

Illinois has a borderline top 5 class now. No big deal

Surprised Izzo wasn’t recruiting him hard to play with Bates.

He’s a defensive nightmare and is willing to work the offensive glass for easy points. Would’ve fit nicely together, or wouldn’t have put you as far back when Bates opened up.

Will be a really good 3 and small ball 4 for us. Until he figures his jumper out he won’t be on the NBA radar, which means we will get him for 3 or 4 years too.

Lol everyone thinks their recruits are going to rise in the next updates.

Remember when you said Woodson wouldn’t land a 5* in 2022 or 2023?

Harris fell only due to being injured in the summer and Epps is playing lights out against big time competition. Sorry the truth hurts.

Btw Which site has an Indiana commit as a 5 star on their rankings?

247 composite lol.

we will see what happens with Epps and Harris. I could easily say the same about JHS, Banks, and Gunn. Until it happens it’s just talk.

 

[MGC_07]

If he wasn’t already the most unlikeable player in the conference, Hunter Dickinson retweeted something saying Michigan got screwed over by the refs.

Blaming others when you lose is just part of the Michigan culture.

And that's DICKINSON manipulating the defenders arm like an absolute d-bag. I saw the same type of shit on the playground in elementary school.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

That's the second hook and hold Dickinson got away with this year. Did it against Buffalo or Prairie View too. Just needs to abandon the idea that that's a useful strategy. It should be called.

Thankfully that's not something Izzo would ever do.

Oh so JHS isn’t a 5 star on any individual site, yet he’s a 5 star on composite?

Makes sense. Lol

That’s what it says. Take it up with them. Would it make you feel better if he was the top rated 4*?

 

[joe for prez]

Congrats on #141

 

[1016CC0503]

Considering not one site thinks he is a 5 star that would make sense.

Hopefully he doesn’t end up like your last 5 star… lol

Thanks! Congrats on #86, #119, and #256!

He will be a top 30 player regardless of if he has 4 or 5 stars.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Hoosier fans when the conversation switches from actual basketball games to recruiting rankings/stars:

 

[1016CC0503]

He will be a top 30 player regardless of if he has 4 or 5 stars.

Your borderline top 5 class might not even finish above Illinois post-Antigua.

Sad.

Lol yes it will.

Don’t forget #44.
