***Official B1G In-Season Thread***

You think SOS matters for shooting? Just admit Purdue isn’t a good shooting team right now. Everyone else has
Yes it matters for shooting and yes, Purdue isn’t shooting well right now. I have no idea what happened to Aaron Wheeler.

Purdue has shot over 50% from three against Virginia and Texas. Pretty much Trash otherwise so does it really?

A loss to Bama, etc won’t take you out of the cfp. Still need to win the B1G and go undefeated in the B1G.
No, a loss to Bama wont. But, it allows you ZERO room for error. One bad weekend, and you are out of the CFB playoff. Look at next year. You play Notre Dame. Lets say you lose. Now you have basically run the table. Which isn't out of the question. But you do play @ Michigan, and @ Iowa. Lets say you do. Ok, now you have to win the Big 10 title game. Probably against OSU.

It just leaves zero room for error.

it’s the B1G. No room for error anyways. OSU missed back to back playoffs cuz they shit the bed in a conference game.
 
Disagree that is some serious life changing shit

I doubt that....the kid killed himself by walking in front of a train while his brother in the best year of his life....that's like the most soul crushing thing I can imagine. If you speculate that it had something to do with depression or sibling rivalry then that just makes it worse. I've never felt so bad for any player anywhere. I hope he can get back, but this has the makings of the season from hell for MSU.
 
Look at Purdues 3 point shooting against their nine opponents and come back.

Unless you think Green Bay is better defensively than Virginia
Sample size isn’t remotely large enough to dispel my assertion. I am using years worth of games.
 
Izzo should spend more time coaching his team instead of barking at the refs.
 
Updated SOS
43
335 (lol)
IU's SOS now is terrible. But its only going to get better, and better.

UConn (50)
Notre Dame(67th)
Arkansas (30)

Then Big 10 play.

Our SOS will be just fine when it needs to be.

Hey, if you are fine with playing Notre Dame and Alabama OOC, than good by me. If having to run the table every single year in the Big 10 is cool----So be it. I just think its silly for schools like a Wisconsin, OSU, etc, etc..To schedule teams like Oklahoma, Alabama, etc, etc ..OOC. You lose, and you are behind the 8-ball from day one.
 
I’m stunned how bad Tilman and Henry are for MSU. They are both supposed to be all B1G

Nobody said your sos wouldn't improve. I think the point is to show snu that while we may have more losses than iu, we've also played a much more challenging schedule and it's not even close. Nobody's ever accused snu of being the brightest though.
 
I’m not defending Purdue’s shooting. I’m laughing at comparing it to IU’s who has played a laughably easy schedule and got their ass handed to them in their lone game outside Assembly Hall. Looks like Purdue will have to win with tough defense and hopefully improve the offense as it goes along. Fingers crossed.

Tillman has 14 and 9 with some steals and blocks. This has actually been one of his better games recently

Henry is at least attempting shots, unlike against Duke. 11 points, 3 assists, 4 boards isn't terrible

Both teams IMO will be just fine. IU layed an egg at Wisky. It didn't help that Wisconsin, ranked like 293rd in three-point shooting, hit 6 three's in the 1st half. And that Reuvers(30%)and Ford(28%), shot a combined 5-8 from three; All coming in the 1st half, when the game was decided. IU picked a bad day to be, well, bad. Wisconsin was very good, at home. We were very bad. Not a good recipe.

Move on, and get ready for UConn.

Three cupcakes in non con is boring as ****. We play in the B1G West. Also boring as ****. We fought for years to get these type of games. The initial Bama/LSU games were scheduled when you needed a better SOS. Even now, I wouldn’t give them up. It’s a program thing. Bowl eligible isn’t a thing for us anymore.

Some of us are the OOC cupcake game for teams(except Texas Laughing),so we need to schedule DII opponents to become bowl eligible.

I mean....exactly my point, brother. You guys are at a place where you compete for Big 10 titles---Which translates to competing for a national title. So I mean, why play Alabama in September---When the goal is to possibly them in Jan? Sure its great IF you win. But if you don't, it can be back breaking in terms of meeting your ultimate goal---Making the CFB playoff. This ain't college basketball where you need to build a strong resume, to get a good NCAA seed. You guys could play 3 cupcakes----Be 3-0. Go 8-1 in the Big 10, win the Big 10 title game, and damn near be a lock for the CFB. BUT...if you play and lose to ND or Bama---I mean, 8-1 in the Big 10, with a Big 10 title game win is getting you to the Rose Bowl---Not the CFB.
 
the SOS is very subjective Iowa BPI SOS is 24 and their SOR is 59. don't understand the difference

kenporn SOS is 152nd, inspite of playing these
#12 Michigan
#29 TT
#32 SDSU
#52 Syracuse
#61 DePaul which is a complete joke
#158 ORU
#200 NFU was a top 175 when they played
#321 Cal Poly a top 250 when they played
#341 SIUE top 310 when they played,

manipulation of the numbers and nothing more, just like their adj d as Iowa is not that bad.

points allowed
60
68
59
61
54
in wins
these in their losses
103-91
83-73
93-78

that sure as hell does not = a 132 adj defense. not unless they are throwing out a couple low scores to inflate the adj d
