*Official* B1G Off-season Thread

Michigan has been to the Elite 8 three times in 6 seasons, twice making the National Championship game.
Purdue hasn't made an Elite 8 since Bill Clinton left office.
Congrats on a 5-4 head to head edge, though. I'm jealous.
And in interest of full disclosure:
Michigan has the 6-5 head to head advantage over Purdue over the past 5 years.
Michigan has the 8-5 head to head advantage over Purdue over the past 6 years.
But I don't really care about head to head results outside of our rivals.
There it is! The good old head to head moral victory position. Ask any college basketball fan which program has been better and without a doubt people will say Michigan. The B10 Tourney matters. B10 Championships matter. NCAA Tournament success matters. Michigan has had success in all three of those buckets. Purdue hasn’t had the success in all three like Michigan.
And there is a difference between feeling good about the direction of a program and hyping it up all offseason like you’re going to challenge OSU for the B10 Championship each year.
But I get it, moral victories are what you’re about Mike. Just the way some Purdue fans are.
I beg to differ. How else do you automatically qualify for the tourney?
No they don’t. And NW is a projected 6 or 7 win team and their record is deceiving from last year.
The string of wins it takes to win a Big Ten Tournament is a nice feather in a teams cap.
Not feeling like getting in this mess this morning, but this made me chuckle out loud.
This is why SNU will always be sub-par poster.
(And I totally understand why head-to-head records, especially in the past few years would be a sore spot.)
I posted four data points, including BTT and NCAAT, and good ole Strawman SNU latches onto the one that's inconvenient for this particular narrative. Also, it's not a moral victory if it's an actual victory.

Man, if only I had mentioned something about that in the exact post you quoted. I'm not asking for graduate-level comprehension, but critical reading is important.

Who's Mike?
Purdue/Indiana flaming over football>>>Purdue/Indiana flaming over basketball
Didn't know you guys would get this rustled over a home loss to an average team. Shouldn't you be really used to it by now? But then again, y'all basically thought your coach was going to get you guys into the playoffs this year, so there is that....
If you did a poll asking who has been the better program over the last five years, who do you think would win? Michigan or Purdue? I know what the answer would be. Do you (assuming you don't go full fanboy)?
Basically thought Brohm would get us into the playoffs? Not even close. I think most Purdue fans are hoping for 6 or 7 wins especially with the schedule.
Im curious because the only thing Ive seen is that Ignas looks legit.
A bottom of the barrel football team talking smack to a team that's been night and day better is pretty funny.
Let’s bet on the Michigan @ Northwestern game.
@boiler1987 can get in on this too since NW is some powerhouse 10 win team again apparently.
Michigan won the B1G tournament and made the National Championship Game shooting their lowest 3pt % in years.
Michigan with it’s improved defense doesn’t need to rely on the 3pt shot as much.
Since Northwestern is a middle of the pack Big Ten team and Michigan is an elite team, how many points are you giving me?
Paid content on The Athletic. If you were really interested you could search yourself.
Since northwestern is a 10 win team playing at home (and beat Purdue on the road) while Michigan is a mid tier team, why do you need points to make the bet?
Hoping for 6-7 wins? And you still got rustled by what SNU said?
It’s almost unbelievable to think SNU is approaching 40 years old.
Oh Blaire. I’m surprised you weren’t as rustled as the rest of your Purdue fanboys here. You must have been too busy putting product in your hair.
