Oh, context matters now? Weird. You constantly throw out sh*t posts here purposefully ignoring context. Funny to see you crying for people to all of a sudden consider "context" when looking at Painters coaching record.
This sounds personal. Take your lover's quarrel to facebook, guys.
On recent results (ie. since Beilien turned the program around) I don't think it's clear that Izzo gets the nod. It's close.
Judging by how much work you've dug into finding my social media accounts and getting pictures of me, I think it might be you who has some 'splaining to do.
Oh 100%. UM should have won it the Louisville year. Kalin Lucas injury killed our chances in the 09 title game. The 13-14 team was elite when healthy but just got decimated by injuries.
Is Beilein a HOFer? Only two FFs and no nattys. Has been a HC for a while also.
Fine coach but I don’t see HOF...yet.
Update NCSOS and Overall SOS in parenthesis. Its based on Kenpom Gil. So please dont stroke out.
1. Penn State-52(2)
2. Purdue-55(4)
3. Illinois-64(3)
4. Wisconsin-82(6)
5. MSU-95(12)
6. Nebraska-162(5)
7. Indiana-189(11)
8. Minnesota-239(16)
9. OSU-248(20)
10. Rutgers-291(18)
11. Maryland-300(19)
12. Michigan-307(21)
13. Northwestern-316(29)
14. Iowa-333(27)
And I've already pointed out that Izzo has more results, even only including results since Beilein joined the B1G. So you moved the goal posts to "Beilein needed a few years after he took over", which is fine. But results are results.
Even if you want to start in 2012 (4 years after Beilein started at UM, plenty of time to get "his" guys) - Izzo has more B1G regular season titles, more BTT titles, and more NCAAT appearances.
Beilein has 1 more Final Four than Izzo, during that 2012-present stretch. Izzo is 9-7 vs. Beilein head to head since 2012.
2012-present: Izzo has 12 NCAAT wins
2012-present: Beilein has 15 NCAAT wins
None of this a knock on Beilein at all. He's a great coach. You could make arguments for either coach, and Beilein's run to the title game last year made up a lot of ground. Especially since Izzo's last few years have been subpar for MSU standards.
With a year the conference is as strong as it is and playing 2 extra conference games will be interesting to see how the committee figures that in.
Just looked and its crazy Izzo only has one final four in the last 9 years. Its like knocking Cal for not getting enough championships with all the final 4s but its a knock on him nonetheless.
Every single B10 team is in the top 80 of Kenpom. Other power 5 conferences have at least two teams outside the top 100 except the B12 only has 1 team.

I believe its the reason that IU is in the position they are currently in. Its also why the other major conference will do it.
Compare IUs SOS to others, that is a direct reflection of playing two more conference opponents.
Izzo had a great start after a couple years of being average, no doubt. Not denying that. And he is very consistent.
It's like comparing apples and oranges though. Both are very good. With a slight edge to Izzo. But that gap seems to be closing.
Kaleb Wesson is back for the BTT. He’s the heart and soul of the team. Coming off a big Iowa win things looked promising. Then the suspension and horrible play. Coming back from 23 points down to take Wisconsin to OT gave the team some life. What will happen against a very hot Indiana team? Not sure what will happen but I like our chances a lot more today. He has been working hard and practicing with the team since suspended, so he should be in playing shape.
I'm sure he got his lungs back.
Not sure if its happened before. Would have to wait until after the conference tourney to see the final “regular season” ranks though.
Big Ten regular season titles: Izzo 3, Beilein 2
Big Ten tournament titles: Izzo 3, Beilein 2
Elite Eights: Izzo 2, Beilein 3
Final Fours: Izzo 1, Beilein 2
National Championship game appearances: Izzo 0, Beilein 2
Pretty even since then.
Damn, homophobic and racist. That's some hardcore hate.
Fun factoid:
Wisconsin at OSU concluded the college basketball regular season.
Interesting bubble:
Lunardi has OSU as the last team in and IU the first one out.
So OSU/IU probably is an eliminator.

Make sure you virtue signal on a college basketball forum some more today.
2002 SEC all their teams were top 90 post tournament. They had a great year, but probably don’t remember it.
2011 B1G everybody was top 88 post tourney.
2010 ACC everybody was top 76 post tourney.
2017 B12 everybody was top 70 post tourney.
Potential bid theft at 7PM today. UNC-Greensboro plays Wofford with the SoCon title on the line.
I'm guessing Minny, IU and OSU fans are big Wofford fans tonight because they are definitely dancing regardless of if they win or not.

Indiana because they’re a bigger threat to win a game or 2 in the NCAAT. Plus they’ll beat MSU so when Iowa makes the BIG Championship they won’t play MSU
