Bossi: Earlier this year I was watching Maryland and I thought to myself that they could be a Final Four contender in 2020 if

Bruno Fernando
stuck around. It’s looking pretty likely that Fernando will be off to the NBA Draft after this season, so if they are going to make a run with him, it will have to be this year. This year’s NCAA Tournament is going to be wide open and from a pure talent standpoint, they can hang with some pretty high-level teams. This time of year point guard play is even more important and junior
Anthony Cowan
is pretty good.


Evans: For what it’s worth, no one has paid much attention to Maryland despite their surge up the Big Ten standings. Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue have taken most of the spotlight but the Terps might be the most talented of the bunch. They have an experienced lead guard in Cowan, a talented scoring guard in

Darryl Morsell
, a beast of an interior tandem with Fernando and
Jalen Smith
, along with a slew of freshmen X-factors in
Aaron Wiggins
and
Eric Ayala
. If they can take care of the ball better and shoot it more efficiently, Maryland could be the surprise squad in Minneapolis a few weeks from now.

I’m gonna take the home team on senior night for the (a share of) the Big Ten Title.

MSU 69 UM 65

You see this a lot this time of year. I am curious does anyone have any numbers or where to find numbers on the winning percentage for home teams on senior night?

Obviously this particular game has some higher stakes involved as well. I’m just curious if the winning percentage is higher than normal home games

Iowa would have an end of season collapse like usual.
its not a end of season collaspe considering who they lost to
MD a quad 1 team
@0SU a quad 1 team
@Wisconsin a quad 1 team
Rutgers #71 by Kenpom

none of those are bad losses. although losing to Wisconsin definitely ranks right up there with a disgustingly bad loss.

how about you explain to me why none of those teams HAVE ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO RIGHT TO WIN?

It’s also against our biggest rival. It may be the biggest game at Breslin ever. Senior night against UM for the Big Ten title

Please tell me you are related to Fran McCaffery.

nope. he is the HC so he gets my support, like I keep saying about how Davis was run off his last season when Iowa reached the sweet 16 till Fran was hired after 11 years of the worst BB in Iowa's history,

Fran now has this program where it was before. doing thing like Lute and Davis were doing,
 
Drives me nuts that ESPN has Duke-Carolina and UM-MSU back to back at 6/8p with no buffer time between. There's no chance that game is done at 8.
 
Boys, I'm gonna be watching AAF instead of Purdue-NU. Let me know if NU makes a game of it and I'll tune in for the second half.

Corey Evans really going out on a limb there. "If a top-25 team shoots better and doesn't turn it over, they could be successful in March."

Scalding hot take.
 
Ugly half. We had a stretch of 11 minutes with 7 points and went 1-6 from the line in that sequence.
