I feel bad for his partner. How do you even build on the stupid shit he says.

I'm never happier for someone professionally than whenever Dave Pasch avoids calling a game with Walton.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Time to give all of last night's money back:

Indiana (-25.5) vs. UT Arlingtong (aka, the Fighting Johnny Hills)
Auburn (+12) vs. Duke
Auburn/Duke - Under 170.5

I don't know how he gets paid to do it.

Probably direct deposit, I doubt ESPN hands out live checks in 2018.

Dammit. I laughed.

Not looking forward to playing ISU.

 

[BleedRed89]

T-minus 2 hour until we go in dry on Texas Tech.

Pretty classy move by IU athletics.

No doubt! Thanks from a Boiler fan. PS IU sucks.

You think Auburn slows Duke down some? I would think if they cover the spread it would be because they keep up scoring with Duke, going over that 170.5 O/U.

I think the shooting is due to level off for Duke and that Auburn's athleticism will give them more issues than they've faced to date. But I could very well go 0-3 on those.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Damn, Al Durham leaves the game with a back injury. IU's biggest hurdle to the tournament this year may very well just be staying healthy.


Other than the turnovers, of course.

Nah that makes sense. Should be a fun game to watch.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Big Ten geeks post almost daily how much they hate Underwoods defensive system.

Someone said it was Beilein's system. Is that true?

Injuries are brutal but also no reason to keep him in this game.

Turnovers are really bad so far tonight.

 

[Mgkcbb]

His defensive system? I dont remember Beilein ever running a system where he just outright sells out for turnovers with sliders adjusted 100% to ball pressure and 0% to sagging off in the lane for help defense.

He certainly doesnt run this system right now, although itd be easy to confuse considering Zavier Simpson dumptrucks opposing point guards into turnovers so often.

 

[Jaycg15]

Offense is similar. Defense is not.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

no reason to keep him in this game.

Other than that -25.5 I punched, right?

Should be good (famous last words)

 

[klize17]

Justin Smith looks completely lost right now

 

[ScarletnGrayBuck]

4 starters late to pregame for OSU. Holtman holds them out for several minutes in game against 5-0 Samford. OSU up by 3 in 2nd half. Glad Holtman benched them to begin game.

 

[klize17]

Other than that -25.5 I punched, right?

Shit IU might lose outright. This is awful

A whole bunch to bitch about it.

 

[otte21]

Just give Duke the title, this isn’t even fair.

 

[MileHighSpartan]

Offense is similar. Defense is not.

I didn't see the game but just saw the highlights, looks like THT tore it up

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Offense is similar. Defense is not.

2017/18:
Adusted tempo
Michigan 324nd
Illinois 81st

Turnovers per game
Michigan 2nd
Illinois 218th


Those are interesting

I’ve been thinking the exact same thing the last two games. He’s been horrid.

 

[klize17]

Turning into one of those just win games

Yeah not sure what’s going...injuries are taking a toll but damn

 

[jace46555]

In 40 years on this earth I've never seen a team have more players unavailable due to injury then players uninjured.

 

[boilerzz]

Just turned it on a few minutes ago. How does Morgan not have 30 points? He's got a ridiculous advantage over UTA's front line.

 

[jace46555]

God damnit if romeo is injured now

 

[jace46555]

Welp that's a broken nose

 

[klize17]

Add a broken Nose to the list my goodness

 

[jace46555]

Down to 1 guard that's not injured now and brings running total of injured to 8

 

[CardinalBoiler]

And now Romeo looks like he broke his nose. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Chicubsfan24]

Honestly he’s looked very complacent throughout this season. Just hasn’t displayed the same level of focus as last year. He still is finishing well in the post, but he disappears or commits dumb fouls as well.

 

[klize17]

Just win just win.

Is this what a team of 5*'s looks like?

Crazy. When he's engaged, he's one of the three or four best players in the B1G.

What 5 star....he's injured now also.

 

[CO_hawk]

I thought they were all 5*s.
