I actually like Wisconsin’s team this year, but holy hell is their big ten slate an absolute cakewalk. There are only 3 games left that should be a challenge, and MSU has been their toughest opponent to date.
So at Nebraska is a cakewalk? They dog walked Purdue at their place. Our schedule is back loaded this year. Only one game left that isn’t an A or B on kenpom. We’ll lose 3 or 4 I’m sure.
Not a violation, but those refs were god awful. Even DJ who is normally pretty solid, had some really bad calls.
Your next game @Nebby will be a challenge, they're completely different home vs away (think Boilerzz posted some info about it earlier). You did luck out in only playing Illinois once and it's a home game, but the rest of the B1G is dog shit so it doesn't really matter which other teams Wisconsin, Illinois, or Purdue play once vs twice.
I can’t tell if you’re messing with me about Nebraska.
It’s not that backloaded. Outside of Purdue and Illinois, there’s 1 top 50 KenPom game, Iowa. The conference is bad, so there’s that to consider.
Like I said, I think you guys are a good team. I’m just not used to seeing there be so few challenging games on paper.
I’d be surprised by a win at Nebraska.
According to T-Rank we’ve had the toughest conference schedule so far between Illinois and Purdue and will end up with the toughest. #6 vs #10 for Illinois and #11 for Purdue.
That’s what I thought. Ref missed it but it was such an odd look, I could see how.
TBH, hes in awful position. If anyting, if the center official doesn't get it....Leave it alone; he had a great look at it. Yeah technically that's the trail officials call---he has b/c primary. BUT----in a pressing, ball pressure situation, involving multiple defenders, you need the center to be strong. If I'm the calling official there, I pass, simply b/c my center, who is looking right at it, passes on it.
Got to trust your partners.
Seems completely subjective to the analytics site selected. KenPom says the exact opposite.
You seem really bitter. How did IU hurt you this deeply? Can’t image having a top two team and yet being focused on IU.
Perhaps if you buckled down a bit more in HS you might have been admitted??
I think you said the same thing to @bMORE607 lol. Responding to one of your bad takes doesn’t equate to being focused on IU. When was the last time I brought up IU in this thread? I’ll wait…
Was admitted to both IU and Purdue and Purdue was/is harder to get into. My apologies that you had to settle for IU.

I Say this about many PUke grads your IU focus defines you. Now go chant IU sucks somewhere.
Well, IU does suck.
Big week for the top of the standings. Purdue get the revenge game against 3rd place NW on Wednesday in Mackey and then have to travel to Madtown to face the league leading Badgers Sunday. Wisky has to travel to the ever dangerous Pinnacle Bank Arena Thursday before hosting my Boilermakers.
This week could go a long way toward determining the eventual B1G champ.

Hopefully Nebraska shoots 61% from 3 again lol.
Wisky's got a horseshoe up their collective asses.
That may be true at the moment but I was referencing their chants about IU in all games and campus events
The IU sucks, or Fvck IU cheers are stupid, in my opinion. And if it must be done, do it when you are playing IU only.
Right?
It is just a Big part of their culture
IU fans hope it NEVER changes
It defines them
I’m trying to envision being in my 50’s/60’s and using the word PUke in actual conversation. Nice to know how much rent-free space we occupy in your head though.
I’m indifferent on the matter. I don’t do it but if college students want to talk shit about their rival, so be it. I do enjoy that it clearly gets under the skin of some IU fans.
Your using PUke is silly as well.
I’m too depressed to make fun of that moron
I feel your pain, sort of. Lions are ahead of schedule or at least that's what I tell myself.
Amon-Ra, Gibbs, and Goff ALMOST carried me to a fantasy football title but Tony Pollard was a bum lol.
Pretty much, it’s been a long time. Fans cried and thought they went to heaven after beating the Rams in the Wildcard round.
