Sucks losing him in a game that doesn’t even matter. Hopefully we can get him back by B1G play
It goes overlooked how big a baby James Franklin is for some reason.
what're you anticipating for your starting lineup? looks to me like you guys have a lot of length and athleticism 2-4.
Clark, Shannon, Melendez, Mayer and Hawkins looks like the likely starting lineup currently. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Underwood throws Rodgers and/or Dainja into the starting lineup at different points during the season depending on matchups.
He got super mad our student section started throwing snow balls Penn State during our blizzard game last year.
4 times(7 games) you dudes have scored 10 or less.....
WTF? Half your games look like baseball box scores... 🥱 🤣 🤣
I actually really hate snowballs. Got hit in the eye by people having a snowball fight one night and completely lost vision for 2 weeks. Scary shit. I’m talking blackout.
Kansas 247 claimed we looked like the better team, and our defense gave them issues.
I’ve heard we won by 10ish from multiple people. But that’s kinda what I was expecting given how young they are this year.

Unfortunately----probably true. We are ****ing terrible.It'd still be enough to beat Indiana.....
Future so pale you're gonna need shades.
White kid from Lakeville North? We never had a chance. Dennis Evans is going to swat his shit into the upper deck if he is still around.
Urkel? We'll see.White kid from Lakeville North? We never had a chance. Dennis Evans is going to swat his shit into the upper deck if he is still around.
If every player UW recruits is Ben Affleck, guys like this are now Joe Louis...how many times was he held back?White kid from Lakeville North? We never had a chance. Dennis Evans is going to swat his shit into the upper deck if he is still around.
NO. 13 INDIANA HOOSIERS — OVERRATED
CBS Sports’ Take: “Someone has to step up in the Big Ten this season and there is no clear and obvious pick, hence an unusual amount of preseason Hoosiers love. While Indiana might very well be the best of the league, No. 13 in the AP poll feels extremely generous. Yes, Trayce-Jackson Davis is back, as are most of the team's starters. (Plus, freshman Jalen Hood-Schifino has star potential.) But this team just narrowly made the NCAA Tournament last season as a 12 seed.”247Sports’ Take: Boone’s reservation with Indiana’s ranking is based on last season’s performance. The Hoosiers finished the year above .500 with a 21-14 record, and they made a nice Big Ten Tournament run that included knocking off top-seeded Illinois, but they had to win a First Four game to make the field of 64 in the NCAA Tournament and got bounced in the first round by Saint Mary’s with a 29-point loss.
We went damn near full on Affleck. And it sucks that our coaches had to take 2nd jobs as executive chefs.

3 walkons are white and one is black. So the official tally is 8 white guys and 4 black guys on scholarship.
Sounds horrible.3 walkons are white and one is black. So the official tally is 8 white guys and 4 black guys on scholarship.
If Illinois ever recruits that many white kids, I’d be sick to my stomach
My B1G preview:
Illinois: Your yearly paper-Tiger. Will even look good during the season for long stretches. Will fold like a cheap lawn chair in the tournament. The streak of not making a sweet 16 since hurricane Katrina hit NOLA & Brokeback Mountain was released will continue.
IU: yet another winning off-season. No one does April through October quite like the Hoosiers. Will have a nice squad but the question for the 17th straight season: will they find the shooting to go along with their 5 & done talent in TJD?
Iowa: led by a schizophrenic coach that insists on playing his talentless sons. Maybe this will be the season they crack the top 300 Kenpom defense.
Maryland: just the classic team that you never feel too good when your team wins & kind of feel like shit when they beat you. The ultimate litmus test for if you have a slightly below average team or a slightly above average team. Either way, your team isn’t going anywhere anyway so calm down.
Michigan: when will their yearly “break” come? The 35 year old douche lord Hunter Dickinson leads the charge once again for the clawless Wolverines.
Michigan State: The 67 year old Tom Izzo has to have 1 question that’s been eating at him a while. What will come next, another final 4 or the ever elusive erection? We’ll see if he truly has lost his fastball.
Minnesota: The last Minnesota player I could name is Amir Coffey. Just a hodge-podge of players that frankly no one cares about. I’m sure there’ll be some sweet farm animal costumes once again in the student section, the most memorable moments of any Minny season.
Nebraska: lol Nebraska. Fred Hoiberg has at least left his staple of playing fast-paced basketball. It’s shitty & poor fundamental basketball that doesn’t lead to any wins but hey, they go fast.
Northwestern: I’m not sure there’s a coach that does less with more than Collins. & when you don’t have good talent to begin with, it isn’t going to be pretty. See you in the cellar NW. At least you have Pat Fitzgerald though 🤭
Ohio State: you have football. Just leave the basketball to us and quit trying to be good at both, ya greedy fvcks. You have the worst home-atmosphere for bball games so ha! Take that.
Penn state: scrappy team that can beat you but it’s never a good win & always a terrible loss. Always have a stud that seemingly sticks around for 8 years that leads them to the NIT a couple of times. NIT or bust season in Happy Valley this season?
Purdue: Congrats on a top 5 finish in the conference and getting bounced by a double digit seed in the tournament once again. The ogres come and go but the lack of tournament success will remain forever.
Rutgers: Below average team that will get some big wins because they play in that cracker box of a gym that no one enjoys going to. Not because of the atmosphere, but because they suffer from minor claustrophobia & it’s hard to get excited playing against fvcking Rutgers.
Wisconsin: I don’t know what’s more sad, a dog dying or watching Wisconsin on offense.
The Iowa football of B1G basketball, can’t wait.
Illinois: Your yearly paper-Tiger. Will even look good during the season for long stretches. Will fold like a cheap lawn chair in the tournament. The streak of not making a sweet 16 since hurricane Katrina hit NOLA & Brokeback Mountain was released will continue.

definitely a dog dying, dogs are awesome. But watching Wisconsin on offense still fvcking sucks.

This is where I’m at. You’re betting on a 12 seed that added one good player? Ok
