Yup, after being down almost 20 points. They beat a good 3pt shooting B10 team.
By the way.......Where did @proudopete go? Got called out for being an idiot, again, and disappears. Seems to be his standard operating procedure around here. Lol!
"He better not miss the shot."
That's what crossed my mind as I watched it happen.
In fairness....BYU does have Jesus on their side.
Yeah but that's Mormon Jesus. Catholic Jesus has more championships in basketball. Baptist Jesus has a stronghold on college football though.
Are you referencing them beating IU in the “secret scrimmage” ? I wouldn’t consider that a loss by IU even though it’s the only game they have played anyone rated better than 300.
It's cupcake week (or at least early week) for the Big Ten. Looking at the next game each team plays, 12 of the 14 teams have a 91% or better chance of winning according to KenPom. The only teams lower are Minnesota (83% over #155 CMU) and Northwestern (72% over #135 Radford).
I was just looking at that, too.
The most compelling matchups this week look to be PSU/Bucknell on Tuesday or George Mason/Wisky on Friday.
Yep. Glad preseason tournaments are coming up. It's hard to get a read on teams given the disparity in schedules. Here are the early season SOS' for B1G teams:
20 MSU
44 Minnesota
81 Illinois
83 OSU
179 Wisconsin
186 Purdue
195 Northwestern
262 Michigan
268 Iowa
277 Maryland
307 Nebraska
322 Rutgers
344 Penn State
346 Indiana
Michigan’s stretch coming up is brutal. Wish we weren’t down a starter for it.
We were down two starters and still lost by less than what Purdue did. LOL.Are you referencing them beating IU in the “secret scrimmage” ? I wouldn’t consider that a loss by IU even though it’s the only game they have played anyone rated better than 300.
Is that year to date or non con all together?
MSU's should drop after tonight since we're playing a school from Charleston that isnt even College of Charleston.
I don't know if I'd say brutal. At Louisville is obviously a big challenge and you get Oregon at home. But you also get to play Iowa.
Year to date. KenPom doesn't provide all full non-con until it's been played.

honestly didn’t know about that. You both suck then.
Serious question: Is Archie's long-term plan to shoot so few 3s? I know it's early in the season, but IU's sitting at #300 in 3s taken which is pretty on par for the last 2 years.
Newman's an elite......Wait a minute. Nevermind.
His teams have never heavily relied upon 3s but I think its being accentuated with our guards having some health issues and Justin Smith and TJD dominating a lot of the touches early on.
Makes sense.
If Purdue stays near the top third of 3s taken per game, and IU hovers around the 300 mark, it's gonna be pretty difficult for this Purdue to shoot a better clip. As I said before the season, we're gonna rely heavily on the 3 ball and I think we'll be pretty streaky.
But, but, but...ok you got me.honestly didn’t know about that. You both suck then.
He should be able to submit that Wisky crossover clip as evidence of potential defamation of character.
Why though? With Haarms and Williams, I would have thought you guys would try and pound the ball inside. At least try to establish the presence in the paint to maybe open things up more for your shooters.
That little mama's boy got a meeting before Potter? **** him and the NCAA.
I thought this team would have offensive issues, and settle for too many 3s when possessions bogged down. They absolutely need to pound the ball down low more, and it appears that is a major work in progress. Generally speaking the ability to be effective in the post hinges heavily on your ability to make shots, but at this point it appears that actually post-entry savvy is the bigger issue.
He is, we know it, wet also know he's not ready to play yet. No need to be unfair to the kid.
We are starting a kid who is a good shooter and doesn’t really do anything else
