And in one fell swoop RichieRebel became the best Illinois poster on this forum
How are you expecting the transfer PG? A little below Smith? Edit follow up question- some people mock JH’s in game coaching—what does the wolverines honestly think of it?
I think he’ll be similar to Smith. They actually guarded each other at the Elite Camp and look pretty even.
I think his coaching is fine. We lost Livers for the tournament and still won three games.
ESPN hasn’t ranked him. He’s a top 100 guy on 247 and Rivals. He’ll be a quality guy more than likely. Worst case a decent piece that will be a good defender in three years.
Yea I’m going to need UA to start making better shoes like ASAP.
It is hard, easy to argue both sides.
Ohio State was probably Michigans toughest games this year.
Iowa’s last conference title was 1979. - doesn’t advance your argument if you’re pushing elite 8 is harder. I’d say give them equal weighting. There is a higher luck factor in advancing in the tournament as compared to winning a conference title.
I didn’t say it was harder. They are even to me, too. I even provided Dukedevilz scoring system to show he had them even. I’m responding to a guy acting like making an Elite 8 isn’t a big deal.
Might just be me personally but I couldn’t care less about the big ten tournament. I’d have making the tournament as a play-in game right with conference tournament champion (& only then because you would then be guaranteed to make the tournament)
It means very little. Below sweet 16 for sure. Probably should’ve had it in the round of 32 tier.
Unfortunately, I agree however someone forgot to tell our team. That was the ‘Super Bowl’ for the Illini after regular season debacle (can Kevin Warren just resign already). Don’t get me started on the Kobe pose.
The problem with the BTT was everyone was so good this year. Good thing Iowa, Minnesota, Rutgers, and Wisconsin will take big jumps back. And no the Illini will not be with that group.
MSU lost earlier but at least we took UCLA to overtime. We played them closer than a 1 seed UM lol.
When the conference schedules became way more unbalanced the tournament became more popular for me personally. Think the regular season B10 champion is part good team and part favorable schedule in most years. Having said that it still probably makes more sense to have the regular season champion get an auto bid.
Not first team all big ten material I’m afraid.
Might as well shut down the season now for Purdue
With all the talent that is leaving the conference Ivey is a very good bet to make first team. He already had a good chance but it’s even more likely now.
Close to a lock as they come, especially with Washington and Wieskamp declaring.
Only way Ivey misses it, is if the All-Big Ten has 5 frontcourt players.
Last year they had 4. I think we could realistically see 3-4 again. Liddell, TJD, Dickinson, and Trevion probably get 3 spots minimum barring injury.
But yes the final spot or two was going to be a battle that would’ve gotten interesting when you through Kofi, Washington, Wieskamp and Ivey in the mix along with a bunch of newcomers we don’t know about yet.
Totally agree.
I’d lean towards Dickinson, TJD, Liddell of the post players.
Trevion is going to be in a crowded frontcourt with Edey, Kaufmann, and Furst. He’ll still be effective, but his individual numbers won’t be impressive as the other guys.
Really just depends if All-Big Ten goes 4 post players or 3.
I was pulling for you that whole game. Had you as an upset in my bracket to the Elite 8.
After Illinois being upset, winner of Rutgers/Houston was looking like the favorite in that region.
Those last couple minutes were brutal.
I just think it’s funny how much you troll us for our loss to UCLA when we played them closer than you.
I troll you for not even making the round of 64. We made it to the Elite 8. Next time get a better seed, I guess?
I’d say if you take a Final Four team to OT, when the 1 seed in your region didn’t even do that, you probably didn’t deserve the first four game.
I think we have a legitimate shot at getting both of those guys. Which is pretty impressive considering Kofi was supposedly 100% not returning to college...according to some people.
We had the third one seed, got rewarded with the 10th ranked team according to KenPom.
Better seeds doesn’t mean better draw. Luck matters too.
Next time earn a higher seed and maybe you could enjoy a few wins in the tournament.
You're right, we should all be striving to be an 11th seed play in game instead of a 1 seed.
