*Official* B1G In-Season Thread

I’m actually a bit rustled we can’t go to Chicago tomorrow or Sunday like we planned. The next time Chicago hosts it we may have a baby. Feels like this was the last big ten tournament for me to splurge on.

I hear ya. I have a one year old at home now and planning things is rough. Having a baby isn’t expensive if you breastfeed. I thought it would be a lot more. They difficult part is the spontaneous shit you use to do you can no longer do. Like those last minute trips to catch a game are no more
 
I try not to post during games, but it’s over now. Nice win Gophers. I’ve said from the beginning of the year that you guys are the worst matchup for us, and it played out that way.
Yep, they were the one team I didn't want to face again. We just don't match up well.
 
Carsen Edwards 4-17. He’s a detriment to Purdue in the court.
There's some word now that Edwards is having back issues and has for quite some time now. Makes sense since he just suddenly fell off and hasn't gotten it back.

Noooo
 
It’s been over a quarter century since you actually won the hardware. Weird flex. Oops forgot.., losing at the right time is worthy. Clap clap clap.

Michigan got another break from the higher rated seed in it's bracket choking. Funny how that works. Thanks Purdue.
 
You realize it was like 95% MJ right? I think there were a few posts from some of the regulars talking about how bad both teams were playing but most of the shit talking was from MJ who we don’t even claim.
Most was MJ but that’s because he posted a million times. But, there were still more Purdue fans posting during the IU game than the Purdue game. It wasn’t just one off posts either. Y’all were there through the whole game.

I genuinely wonder what the value would be in putting him on a ~15 minute limit in the first round if it's still an issue next week. Gotta trust the rest of your team to be able to beat a 13 or 14 seed. And having Edwards limp through the second game in three nights won't do you any favors.

So I had the game on in the background so wasn’t t paying the close attention. What’s the story here?

Wouldn’t surprise if something has been wrong he’s been awful

I hadn't heard anything until last night but it sounds like he's been dealing with some back tightness.

Not sure it's been a long-term thing. He's been struggling for a month but never looked physically limited until last night. So 5/6 days off may not be the worst thing for him personally.

Bad back I guess. Not sure the severity. I guess it’d explain the poor performance but crazy to think it’s been going on this long and no one has heard anything about it.

He’s had some shot selection problems so I wouldn’t put all the blame on a bad back but it couldn’t have helped.
His decision making is borderline awful but I guess with a good back (?) he makes some of those awful shots.

Yep, kids change everything. My daughter will be 3 in May, and she is fnally at an age where we can at least take her out to dinner (thank god) knowing that it won’t end in disaster. My wife and I used to go out all the time to the bars and concerts, and now it’s just a lot of home time, which is fine, but just different.

Congrats @Deathclutch

Even without Carsen’s injury, I’m fine getting rest and trying to do something in the NCAAT. As much as the L sucked yesterday, I’d prefer that to the last couple years when we make the final game of the BTT and lose. That’s the worst case scenario imo. And with the back injury, it’s even more true than normal
 
Sooooooo

We beat two teams, in the last two days, who were ahead of us in the Net Rankings and move down two spots?

Makes sense............

74-53. Yikes.
Iowa 1-16 from 3 says it all, . if it had not been for a walk on making that 3 in the last minute of the game, this would have been the 1st game under Fran where they failed to make a 3, so enjoy the win. players were getting the same looks like they were against Illinois and other team, they just couldn't make them, missing jump shots, layups even Cook's money shot that baby hook shot wouldn't go.

Michigan got everything to fall even a few circus shots fell for them.

it just was not their night. so flush it and move on.

one question though on their last 5 losses, why is it that those teams had ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO WIN?
