Illinois got fat and happy playing scrub teams like Kansas and now they don’t know how to handle perennial powers like EI(EI)U
Sad!

Iowa:
Floor: disaster (not even invited to NIT after a injuries to one or two key upperclassmen derail a thin/inexperienced roster)
Ceiling: double digit NCAA seed
Fun fact: EIU beat Illinois in a scrimmage Underwood’s first season.
Rutgers is addicted to shooting itself in the foot in the non conference. Princeton isn’t terrible and this is a neutral so far from a nightmare result but still
Missed the game but sounds like we looked good. #BoilerUp
The one legitimately good game is on at 10 eastern on tnt so you should just watch that one too. Tomorrow is future you’s problem
Granted it’s one game against an overmatched opponent but the biggest takeaway for me is the 3 guys we added that weren’t there last year all bring much-needed speed and athleticism that was sorely lacking last year.
He’s just so weak around the rim. He’s gotten blocked three times by JMU in overtime. Just plays seemingly disinterested all the time. I’ve never liked his game for this reason
I remember us all being really bummed he didn’t come to Purdue but I think he’s been pretty meh overall tbh.
He supposedly picked Michigan State over Purdue because he wanted to be a role player instead of the star player. I’m not sure he’d be an alpha on western Michigan.
This is a bad loss obviously, but JMU is kinda sick. Definitely a tournament team
4D underwater chess by Izzo, we can’t underachieve in the tourney if everybody thinks the conference sucks ass on Day 1
Some of you may have misunderstood the assignment, I just needed you to discuss your potential floor. You didn’t have to show me.
Rutgers joined the party last night.
Nebraska:
Floor: Virtually every Nebraska Basketball season dating back to the Peach Basket
Ceiling: 23 to 24 wins - top half of Big Ten - First NCAA Tourney win ever.
In all seriousness this is the best Nebraska team in the last ten seasons, and Tominaga didn't even play last night.
After last night, I think this Minnesota team can possibly finish 13th instead of 14th. 
I'm sure it will be a relatively bad conference on the national scale, but I'll guarantee we have a fun conference season to watch before we disappoint in March! 😂
