*Official* B1G In-Season Thread

[MGC_07]

I understand Duke is Duke and Zion is a monster, but Duke has been in the verge of losing their past 2 games and MSU has won in 2 blowouts.

I really think MSU could win this game. I’d give it like a 40% chance.

Man, B1G is going to keep getting stronger and now with 20 games, the conference schedule is just brutal.

 

[SpartanJD]

Purdue fans do you guys expect to win?

50. At least.

That is the defintion of a big splash hire. Impressive. Another offensive-minded coach in the B10 too.

 

[MGC_07]

50. At least.

Probably. We blew out the SEC champions. Duke has struggled significantly with UCF and Virginia Tech.

I feel better now than I did 2 weeks ago.

Kenpom has MSU as a 52% favorite FWIW

No, we’ve already lost. Congrats to UVA for finally breaking through.

I don’t know man. You tell me? I’m erring on the side of caution, but I feel like Virigina’s SOP is similar to what we’ve seen this year in the Big Ten. They’re a fantastic team obviously, but our past success vs. Bo Ryan & Wisconsin type teams has me feeling decent with the matchup. I don’t know what to think my heads already spinning.

 

[boiler1987]

Any other boilers going to be at the Yum center tonight?

I think if the two teams continue to play how they've played to date in the tourney, Purdue wins and probably pretty easily. If the two teams play how they've played on average for the entire season, I think UVA is a slight favorite. No clue what to expect in a single game with a lot on the line. All I know is I'll be nervous.

Kenpom has MSU as a 52% favorite FWIW

Zion was hurt for a long time and is back. If Duke has Zion the whole season they’d be the favorite, as there is no injury factor in Kenpom.

MSU has had their fair share of injuries too, and Ward is back, but it doesn’t make that much of a difference.

At this point all I want to see are good games and this matchup with different styles with a final four on the line should be a good one.

Congrats on a great season, I like Purdue in this one. That being said, go Virginia!

Yessir I’ll be there

Congrats Huskers

the wardon will fit right in @ Nebraska as he loves to bring in transfers from other schools that are kicked of their teams because of breaking the law. but the question is how long will he stay. he played for ISU and then when a NBA job came along he left.

1. It's "Warden"
2. It's "The Mayor"
3. You should talk to your doctor about lorazepam or diazepam.

You think he would have helped Arizona make the Final Four last year?

MSU is 21st in the nation in offensive rebound %. Duke's defense is 240th in giving up offensive rebounds.

Duke relies on scoring inside the arc. Theyre 329th in 3 point shooting, but 4th in 2 point % offensively. So, they basically have to score a bunch i side the arc. Well, Michigan States defense is 5th in 2 point %.

Everything points to not only a MSU win, but a win going away. Horrible matchup for Duke, especially with Tillman and Ward i side dumptrucking Delaurier and Bolden. Expect MSU to win by double digits.

ahh yes the spelling Gestapo is alive and well and only a clown fan would care
make up your mind either its the clowns or huskers.

 

[boilerzz]

Hey guys, what's up. Anything going on tonight?

 

[VulvHa]

Congrats to the Cavs. That defense was just too much. Purdue had absolutely no chance tonight. Hopefully, we can contend again next year.

I’ll do this for them. You are wrong. Duke is a dominant team of destiny. MSU is done. Congrats Zion and the Dukies. Just too much.

@Noahtogo24 did the NCAA really honor the Maryland soccer team during the Duke Va Tech game last night?

Agreed, grammar/spelling police is douchey.

 

[jace4655555]

From an IU fan, I'm sincerely pulling for Purdue tonight. BIG success is over any dislike I have for another team.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Agreed, grammar/spelling police is douchey.

That's your takeaway? You nervous or something?

 

[bMORE607]

Currently in 12th place in the Jimmy’s Seafood tourney. Going for that free crab cakes for a year.

 

[VulvHa]

That's your takeaway? You nervous or something?

Uhhh...I guess yes. Spelling/grammar police is douchey. Nothing less and nothing more.

 

[otte21]

It’s like 95% Purdue fans to 5% Virginia fans here, no excuses

 

[SpartanRock]

That's two #1 seeds down, and two to go. Go Boilers!!

 

[hawkit3113]

Let's go Boilers!!!

 

[bMORE607]

Virginia just showed the gayest local commercial ever. Purdue BIG.

 

[jace4655555]

For any Purdue fans who are going to the YUM center tonight, if you get too drunk and can't safely drive....I literally live 5 minutes from it. Just let me know and I'll pick you up to keep you from driving.
