Solid spinIIRC, my stance was more on the playing Davis part than not. But carry on Hail Jr.

??All our starters played 30+ minutes outside of one and the first guy off the bench plays 28 minutes, but we weren't trying to win the game. RollLaugh RollLaugh RollLaugh RollLaugh
Gillinois trying to convince himself they weren't trying to win the BTT
Not trying and not putting emphasis on winning the tournament are two different things.Gillinois trying to convince himself they weren't trying to win the BTT
idk did we make that?Not trying and not putting emphasis on winning the tournament are two different things.
Btw-how’s the NIT?
Like I said he didn’t throw the game versus Indiana. But our team was not fired up (due to lack of emphasis) for the BTT like last year.idk did we make that?
And you played your starters a full games worth of work, stop trying to think Underwood didn't want to win the tournament. You just look dumb.

You can read into that as much as you’d like.
Maryland won the ACC regular season and Nat'l Championship in '02. They were not ACC tournament champion. Since you go back to '98 I'm counting it and recognizing it. @bMORE607 @Noahtogo24Last historical post before the tournament. This takes a look at both the regular season champions, AND the B10 team that went the farthest in the tournament that year if it was not the champion. This covers the Big Ten Tournament era.......(once again, tl;dr disclaimer)

#- BTT champ
**- B10 champ had best run in conference
Notes:
- First thing that's obvious....Michigan State has typically carried the torch for the Big Ten as far as which team made the deepest run in the NCAAT. MSU went the farthest in 8 of the previous 23 years of the Big Ten Tournament era.
- Ohio State and Wisconsin were next having went the farthest in the conference in 5 out of the 23 years.
- Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois and Maryland are the only schools in the Big Ten that have made it the farthest in the NCAAT in a given year.
- The Big Ten has had at least one team reach the following rounds:
(Sweet 16) in 22 out of 23 years
(Elite 8) in 16 out of 23 years
(Final Four) in 14 out of 23 years
(NCG) in 8 out of 23 years, with 1 champ
- If you guys thought 2021 was a bad run for the Big Ten, then you rightfully forgot about 2006. The conference had 3 teams advance to the 2nd Round...................and that's it. Woof.
- In only 4 of the 23 seasons, did a team other than a regular season conference champion advance the farthest in the conference, and only one of those teams (2018 Mich) was the tournament champion:
(2003 MSU Elite 8)
(2013 Mich National Runner-up)
(2014 Wis Final Four)
(2018 Mich National Runner-up)
- 2011-2012 Michigan is the only regular season conference champion that failed to advance past the 1st Round @hailtoyourvictor
- The Big Ten regular season champion does have a few nice streaks going as well, though.
....A RS champ has at least made the Elite 8 in the last three NCAA Tournaments and 7 of the past 10
....And lastly, at least one RS champ has made the Sweet 16 in 21 of the 23 years of the Big Ten Tournament era.
So good news perhaps for at least one of Wisconsin and/or Illinois......
I mean, does the tournament really matter?I don't want Illinois to lose early but it's going to make it sweeter if they do.
Only if you win.I mean, does the tournament really matter?
Our crowd is pretty badass, agreed. Carver folks should take note!Your crowd beat us. Not going to mention the friendly home whistle, ooops.
10 pt Iowa win on a neutral court with refs from a different conference.
We definitely wanted to beat IU and win the whole thing, lol…? Obviously. However, I’ll agree we probably had more of a reason to not come out flat last year because we felt slighted.Illinois I’m guessing
From Enemies to Brothers. We are all in this together now.Indiana is on the clock. .Dont fvck this up
I’m rooting against all you slack jaws anyways.
I remember you saying that last year, so that’s why you aren’t included in the commemorative circle jerk.I’m rooting against all you slack jaws anyways.
Can that matchup happen?Exactly. Nailed it again bro.
But I will say, if Wisconsin plays Iowa St, I hope they destroy their anus, bad
Can that matchup happen?
Damn you are right. They gotta upset LSU for that matchup to happen thoI thought so, in the second round but I honestly haven't looked at the brackets since the selection show
Damn you are right. They gotta upset LSU for that matchup to happen tho
2 LSU dump trucks in a row🙏🏻I hope LSU dump trucks them.
Pssh. Don't know what happened. All the sports fans move away? Beats me.Our crowd is pretty badass, agreed. Carver folks should take note!
Colorado State will beat Wisconsin. Mark it down. Roddy is the real deal.I hope LSU dump trucks them.
They play Michigan.Colorado State will beat Wisconsin. Mark it down. Roddy is the real deal.
Did you join the boards bracket challenge yet you useless hump @hawkit3113
Ahh that’s right you’re having fun in the sun! Enjoy it! It was nice in February when we went probably even better now especially way down there. What keys are you staying at?I haven't. Been to busy. On vacation in the Keys.
I did win it one year and finished second another year
