Yeah, Maryland is 2nd in the B1G at drawing fouls. And you have some guys that just can't help themselves but to commit fouls. Reneau's 7.4 fouls per 40 is ludicrously high.
Fascinating that Purdue allowed Maryland in on #TheAgreement when the two teams still need to play against each other this season.
Just soak it in man. This is Iowa's biggest win over Illinois in years.
Our bad upsets have largely just been us crapping the bed from 3
Illini Pride has literally built elementary schools for underprivileged kids. You guys are latching onto someone using a fake name as if it's harming anyone. It had zero impact on any organization in any way prior to Iowa cancelling the tickets.
“Hello. My name is {x} calling on behalf of the charitable University of Illinois student group called the Orange Krush. I am looking to procure 200 tickets for the February game to watch Illinois play Iowa.”
You won't get any disagreement from me that putting that organization down was incredibly dumb, haha. When they invaded Michigan a few years ago, they put down that they were like some junior high school group from Detroit ... a lot better optics, lol.
Is the middle sentence a joke? We have won a lot more in basketball than you guys historically AND in the recent past, lol. Hell, if you keep that caveman on as your OC, the gap in football will close real soon, too! 😂
So?
The college kids this is affecting are definitely not dealing with this in the most "adult" manner possible...........not that we would ever expect that from students of the University of Illinois.
Good.
Everything Iowa does makes them look bad.
It's obviously complete BS, but at the end of the day ... a bunch of college kids took on the PR arm for a major Big Ten athletic department and they didn't think this would happen, given the facts?? As much of a tool as he can be, I actually liked Conner McCaffrey's tweet about it, haha ... I'm more than ready to let this dumb story evaporate and for the actual rivalry itself and huge standings implications of the game for both teams to resume center stage.
I just wish Damonte was still around for this one.
As a group? I guess, since we are literally all huddled in that sweet, juicy, fat part of the curve. Lol. However, I think this is an overblown sentiment. People ALWAYS say college basketball is down, and I think we are overstating that. I think PU is legitimately good (they're ranked #1 for God's sake), and look at how many Big Ten teams almost took them down. Obviously PU won the games and were the better team in each instance, my point is just that there are teams in this league who can compete with them. Additionally, the Big Ten fared as well as any other conference in non-conference play, so it's kind of harsh to judge our entire league because we have enough decent teams to make it hell every night.
I openly said what the Krush did was really dumb, haha ... so yap all you want? What I take issue with is this completely fabricated idea that they did this for some discount that only non-profits can get like a true scam. That's just not true, brotha.
It’s a bad year of college basketball in general, not just the big ten. Draft analysts have been talking about how poor this draft class is outside the top few prospects, who largely aren’t in college right now anyways.
"Iowa is one of the schools that wouldn't sell to the orange Krush which is understandable". So they use a fake name, Iowa finds out and voids the tickets and they're still complaining?
They’re not vocalizing it well, but I think their complaint is entirely based on the close proximity to the game that the tickets were voided
I find that the funniest part.
I was expecting to see painters ex wife's head moving in and out of the bottom of the screen.
