I’m so mad at Wisconsin for losing to Nebraska at HOME. We had the Howard vs Gard matchup

The winner of Iowa vs Rutgers is going to beat IllinoisHere’s your bracket:
There’s no real rhyme or reason to when this team decides they want to focus and play with passion. They’ve been in seemingly must win games for a month straight and have lost 80% of them. They did play decently well against Purdue yesterday, so hopefully they can carry that over into the game Thursday. Who knows, I can’t pretend to get my hopes up.
You can’t lose eating cheese curds. It’s science. And yes, that would have been fun. Let’s just meet Sunday. On the court or Wachovia.

Maybe Illinois should've done a better job of making sure we made our FTs.......
Probably the biggest choke I’ve seen all season and I just witnessed us losing to ****ing Nebraska.
Ok, thanks for letting us know! We’ll keep that in mind as we hang the banner!
Hope so. Also I would rather be a 10 or 11 (non play-in) than an 8 or 9 haha
Where did the Wachovia thing come from in the B1G threads? It's not a meme I've seen anywhere else. Wachovia hasn't been a company for more than a decade, before there was a B1G thread
I actually find it more impressive to see a team with a top 5 guard, a bunch of shooters, a stud center, an AA coming off the bench, and good freshmen role players backed into third place.
The same. Untapped potential is the worst.
Double bye and on the bubble. F--k you NET. In the world before NET was a "thing" we'd probably be a "6" or "7" seed. Good times.
Does the B1G know how their tournament seeding works? If so, how we are listed in "6th" on the standings page?
I might go full "Gil" and yell at clouds all week.

Man, you've just hit on exactly what is missing in this - rubbing Gil's nose in it.
Let's all take a moment to remember that Wisconsin stormed the court after securing the 2-seed in the conference tourney. Some of us have higher standards for our court storms.
Congrats Illini fans, great game last night. Got your title after getting boned last year.
Good. Illinois needs to rest and get healthy at this point.
Gophers just ran out of gas in B1G play. Not having enough depth is no bueno in this conference. I don't blame Ben Johnson, since he only had a few months to build basically an entire team. Then Isaiah Ihnen and Parker Fox both tear their ACL's in the off-season.
Still, this team competed it's ass off every night and they were alot more competitive then people expected.

I'm still not convinced that Phil Martelli isn't Johnny Knoxville.

A couple of comments:
- Among likely tourney teams, Michigan and Purdue had the most difficult conference schedules
- Next set was Illinois and Rutgers
- Wisky, Iowa and OSU are paper tigers
- That IU couldn't even finish .500 despite having the 3rd easiest schedule is hilarious
I'm going to step out of character for a moment, and predict that Iowa is going to win more games than OSU or Wisconsin in the tournament. Their defense has improved enough to be respectable, and their offense is extremely difficult to guard if you don't have a guy like Coleman Hawkins to hold Keegan Murray to 6 points on 2-13. Not many teams have a versatile 3/4 that can do that. I think they make the S16.
Gard likely and deservedly wins the COY in the conference, but Underwood did a hell of a job.
He had guys suspended, hurt, and sick all season long. Last graphic I saw was over 40 games missed by rotation players. He lost his entire assistant staff this offseason. He lost his best player in Ayo and a promising freshman in Adam Miller, yet he was able to coach the team to first place in conference, and he's about to land a top 10 recruiting class. Feel pretty damn good about the future of the team.

Hawkins was the difference in our game. So many big plays
Unless branham goes off for like 35, I’m just assuming osu loses their first game.
If illinois beats UM/IU then I think we have a good chance to lose to Iowa, but would beat RU.

Well that and the charity stripe's defense was stifling.
His best play ultimately didn’t matter, but I still don’t know how he was able to save that preposterous full court pass from Curbelo with like 10 minutes left in the second half. Hawkins was able to catch it as he was going out of bounds full speed and get the ball to the guy in the corner. Really impressively athletic play.
The two hand block was sick too. He balled out for sure.

I love how in your heads we got. Gonna make it that much more hilarious when the time comes again that you lose to Iowa, because it probably won't be against one of our better teams, either, just to make it that much more embarrassing.
