Lolz your top 5 preseason team made it exactly one game further in the tourney and had a completely lackluster season.

I’m still thinking we let him post again. Someone bet me something and if I win then he gets to post again.
But I also miss Gil.
A bunch? Only one will start.Relying on a bunch of freshman….
The others will be getting similar minutes to Melendez this year, who was certainly not “relied on”
Lolz at thinking PRE SEASON rankings matter
lmao congrats on the backed in big ten title 🤣🤣 no one is gonna count this one …. Huge asterisk 🤷🏻🤷🏻Sorry
PG-One of the freshman, most likely Skyy Clark
Wings-Melendez and a transfer
PF- Coleman Hawkins
C-Kofi
Coleman Hawkins was starting at the 4 by the end of the year.
So 3. And one of those starters was Da’monte Williams…
Agreed, we need some awesome takes!
I don’t have any daughters so I’m at no risk… others tho…
The most dominant team in the B1G hasn’t won a game over Illinois since Juwan’s been hired…
Aside from arch rivals, I don’t care about any head to head records. And even then it’s more of a tiebreaker than anything.
We will likely indeed be near the top of the standings once again, but that probably says more about the Big Ten next year.Relying on a bunch of freshman….
I love the fukin B10....Great venues....Great teams....terrific basketball. Lots and lots of tradition...
We haven't sold our souls to the devil----looking at you ACC, to build up some mega conference. We've doe our damage with the same crew for 100 years...
Led nation in attendance since 1980...First ever NCAAT MVP---JImmy Hulls of OSU..
10 National titles in basketball...48 Final FOurs....82 Elite 8's....Bunch of fukin SW 16's/NCAAT's..
All done with the same bunch....
Wouldn't trade our conference for any other.....
Weren't you puffing your chest about him all season?
I thought as far as backup point guard options go, he is significantly better than having to run Da’monte Williams there for conference play…
He’s a good player that needs to improve his shooting and decision making. But unfortunately those limitations aren’t a good fit with Kofi.
@1016CC0503, I think you’re about to see some receipts. This board has world-class message board detectives that have been waiting all year to cash these checks.
I just checked all of my Curbelo posts and I didn’t post anything too crazy. So I should be good to go.
Here we go again.
He’s on the team that teams used to play in exhibitions.
They can look, I don’t remember saying anything too out there about Curbelo
You called him a top 2 guard in the conference.
(I got a lot of shit wrong too, though. I thought Brandon Johns would average 10ppg.)
Woof. In my defense, there weren't a lot of good options on that poll.
So far, there are 717 players in the transfer portal. That equates to more than 2 per D1 team. Below are the B1G representatives and their rank according to Bart Torvik. Funny that Curbelo was so bad that IT is ranked in front of him. Yikes.

“Curbelo will be fine. I expect he will be an AA candidate this year, but miss out. Then will be a frontrunner for a team next year”
I’m only doing this on request. I’m fully aware of some of my awful takes.
If I said that it was prior to his concussion/neck injury.
Hell I think I put Frazier over him on my 5 man lineup
I mean injury definitely derailed his season from being an AA candidate, but even then I clearly thought he wouldn’t be on one of the teams.
He never did look like he did at the end of the 21 season, maybe Ayo played a bigger role, maybe it was concussion, maybe his ego just took over seeing himself on so many preseason lists. Either way he had a very bad year vs how he had looked in the second half/end of his freshman year.
