It should say DJ Cooper
****----I thought we were a tad delusional...
One NCAAT in 10 decades, and this quote comes out of your mouth....???
In fairness, the perspective is a little different when that one ncaat this decade is your only tournament appearance in program history.
I’m assuming he thinks they should have fired Collins. It’s well overdue. But at the same time, they’re not going to get anyone better so I kinda get hoping Collins figures it out (he won’t). I also think there’s something to a chicago area school not wanting to fire Doug Collins’ son.
They know what they got and they know what they are. They are hoping he can get them into the tourney and compete every so often. They want to see them at least make progress in the conference of they will fire him next year.
Been on the Iowa train for a few weeks. Murray twins are a huge mismatch for most. Illinois and Purdue still have a shot but they're looking a little broken.
Iowa vs Kansas would great game not only on the court, but for this board as well!!
Lol we beat Iowa a week ago. Not concerned about loss to a team in do or die mode.
B1G tourney wasn’t one of Illinois’ goals this year.
Looking like they are delaying the inevitable. Not much upward mobility for that program. B1G is too stacked to let Northwestern climb…

Well what IS your goal, because no team has ever won the national championship after losing before their conference tournament semifinals........
Juwan Howard 14 has to be an awkward chart for you guys to endorse

Iowa went 9-1 over their last 10, a 2pt loss @Ill. Illinois went 6-4 with losses to Indians, Rutgers, and OSU at home. Illinois hasn't looked great to end the year. Quit being a lil bitch and accept it.
MSU fans: Hunter Dickinson is old as shit
Also MSU fans: Clinging to stats from before Hunter Dickinson was born
Lol Iowa had a cakewalk for their last 10 and lost to us in that stretch.
Beating Purdue was impressive and surprising though.
Our goal is to advance in the NCAAT to at least the Sweet 16.Well what IS your goal, because no team has ever won the national championship after losing before their conference tournament semifinals........
If we beat Arizona we can beat anybody. Unfortunate that the best team is our 1 seed.
I’m more worried about Illinois laying an egg in the First Round than I am about Houston, lol.

Did we lose....or did we just miss a bunch of free throws and therefore weren't awarded the win on a technicality?..............

Alright, time for another lengthy history lesson (this is your tl;dr disclaimer).
This is how every Big Ten Tournament Champion has gone on to fare in the NCAA Tournament (the next post will be regular season champs AND the B10 team(s) with the farthest run):
1998- Michigan (2nd Round)
1999- *Michigan State (Final Four)
2000- *Michigan State (National Champions)
2001- Iowa (2nd Round)
2002- *Ohio State (2nd Round)
2003- Illinois (2nd Round)
2004- Wisconsin (2nd Round)
2005- *Illinois (National Runner-up)
2006- Iowa (1st Round)
2007- *Ohio State (National Runner-up)
2008- *Wisconsin (Sweet 16)
2009- Purdue (Sweet 16)
2010- *Ohio State (Sweet 16)
2011- *Ohio State (Sweet 16)
2012- *Michigan State (Sweet 16)
2013- Ohio State (Elite 8)
2014- Michigan State (Elite 8)
2015- *Wisconsin (National Runner-up)
2016- Michigan State (1st Round)
2017- Michigan (Sweet 16)
2018- Michigan (National Runner-up)
2019- *Michigan State (Final Four)
2021- Illinois (2nd Round)
2022- Iowa???
*- also B10 regular season champs
Notes:
- Only 2002 Ohio State, who had that season vacated due to sanctions, failed to reach at least the Sweet 16 as a double champ
- Non-regular season champs are a bit more sporadic, and have managed to find themselves in every round of the tournament from 1st to the National Championship game
- 2006 Iowa and 2016 MSU are the only two conference tournament champs to lose in the 1st Round
- More Big Ten tourney champs have reached at least the Final Four, than any other round of the NCAA Tournament. The Sweet 16 and 2nd Rounds tie for second with 6 appearances a piece.

They beat 3 of the 4 teams you lost to. It's ok to admit Illinois hasn't been as sharp.
Our coach being #1 and your coach being #14 doesn’t make it an awkward chart to endorse lol
