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

[VulvHa]

What’s the spin? I’m stating what happened. Everyone (including me) thought Michigan would be good. We sucked. Thankfully we didn’t suck enough to miss the tournament.

Not sure what more you can do than admit that the team underachieved by a large degree. Don’t know what more he wants from you. With that being said, would have been hilarious if Mich was placed in the first four after all the trolling you did. Unfortunately for Sparty fans, it didn’t happen.

No we weren’t.

And you tell me to do research?

ESPN ranked Purdue #3 a week or so after being eliminated by North Texas in their too early rankings.

@VulvHa and I had plenty of conversations about it.

Nobody pays attention to the idiots at ESPN.

So I was right for saying they were way overrated?

You picked out one poll and I showed you a bunch of others that had us at 6-9, which I said was fair.

I had us between 9 and 12 personally. And we are currently 9th.

Edey is a good matchup for Tshiebwe, so as long as Trevion is playing well you should have the edge in the post.

Ivey is going to need to play well though, and your role players will have to hit from deep.

I’m giving you guys the edge, but it’ll be close.

Tshiebwe will wear Edey out, imo.

#3 a week after North Texas.

Yet you couldn’t win the conference in the regular season or the tournament. And you didn’t deal with injuries all year.

You were overrated, and if you guys don’t make the Elite 8 it’s clear you’ve underperformed this season.

 

[1016CC0503]

Can’t play all 40 minutes, though.

Edey’s job should be wearing Oscar down, so that Trevion can take advantage when he sits.

I'm not sure why you started calling this the GOAT Purdue team, but that's not the case. We have our most talented player from an NBA perspective since Big Dog, but this isn't the best Purdue team of all time, let alone Painter's best team.

09/10 w/ Hummel was Painter's best, and the 18/19 team is arguably a better team from a starters perspective.

Don’t get sucked in…it’s his special trick. Just smile and clap politely.

Smiling and clapping politely - while handing Illinois it’s ass twice. The Illinois team with an average age of 27. 😂

 

[IUBtown]

Illinois fans crying about other teams not meeting expectations is rich.

We were your Superbowl x2 this year.

Why can’t you bring that energy versus Rutgers, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin x2?

 

[pig1960]

Not sure what’s brought on 10110101 bout with Purdue anxiety? ****ing weird.

12-13* wins😂

You said Illinois would be higher ranked than Purdue preseason and regular season. You were wrong.

Illinois as Boiler super bowl just salvaged my basketball day…thanks man! 😂

Idk maybe it’s just me but the connotation of ‘down year’ to me implies lack of talent or team that wasn’t suppose to be good…

2 out of 10.

Injuries are a bitch.

Purdue doesn’t even have an excuse😂 just got railed by Iowa with a 2 seed on the line

I’m improving, so I got that going for me.

Whoa! Wait! Rutgers beat us on a miracle shot. They waxed your ass. You kill me me you super trolling mother****er!! Got me. My bad.

 

[pig1960]

Curbelo injured was the best thing that could happen to Illinois- for those watching objectively he pretty much sucks.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

There are multiple reasons why it ended up being a bad/down year for us. You're arguing semantics.

 

[1016CC0503]

Whoa! Wait! Rutgers beat us on a miracle shot. They waxed your ass. You kill me me you super trolling mother****er!! Got me. My bad.

We waxed them worse!! They clearly had a pride game after a 30+ point loss in Champaign.

Lol I’m rooting for you guys tho, I've been trolling the Kentucky posters on here for weeks.

B1G needs to roll this year

 

[RichieRebel]

Curbelo injured was the best thing that could happen to Illinois- for those watching objectively he pretty much sucks.

Totally disagree with this.
We don’t go to OT game 1 without him.
Don’t beat Iowa without him.
His defense is better than Plummer (who every team attacks and is the best rebounding guard we have.

Lol we were running Da’monte Williams at point early in the year…

Frazier can’t go 40 minutes.

 

[MGC_07]

I’m genuinely happy Hail has something to be happy over in what is a more disappointing year than I’ve ever experienced. We may have worse last year but I didn’t think we’d win the conference.

Hail would shit on you on if you didn’t pick them to win the conference in the offseason and now is celebrating not being in the first four, just a regular 11 seed. Lol.

Cool, so you admit you were wrong

 

[jwardelt]

So we had a heck of a down year then.

 

[pig1960]

Agree to disagree on Curbelo. Something breaks down when he’s in the floor.

 

[jwardelt]

I don’t think they were getting a 2 seed even with a win.

 

[Jaycg15]

Curbelo injured was the best thing that could happen to Illinois- for those watching objectively he pretty much sucks.

He has 2 or so boneheaded turnovers each, but ‘Curbelo sucks’ is a meathead statement. His stats look identical to last season or better, but he’s struggled with his shot - which is not surprising given how long he was out. He’ll look much better against teams that have never guarded him. Not to mention, his defense has been fairly good.

 

[1016CC0503]

I don’t think they were getting a 2 seed even with a win.

They would’ve gotten it over Duke.

I’d hope at least

 

[1016CC0503]

Cool, so you admit you were wrong

All of my predictions stipulated if Curbelo and Kofi were healthy. They missed 19 games and we still won the conference😂

 

[jwardelt]

They were 11th overall. Still think they’d be a 3. That last game means very little. Doubt they jump 3 spots on a win over lowly Iowa.

I think meathead is a bit strong. But I’ll allow it - I have a long history of meathead statements. Still going with Curbelo is a minus.

37 n 12 that night for Kofi. Congrats on 2nd place.
