Zeller always looks good unless he has some massive body on him being physical.Zeller looks great tonight.

I think what he was referring to is, if IU wins, they should go to #1. Not sure I can explain it much clearer.It doesn't Who gives a crap what the rankings are?

Wow. That is an absurd call.Wait - they counted that basket on that "foul"? How is that possible?
Jinxed them....that was a terrible callSolid officiating so far.
Valentine's on the court....anything goes baby!Wow. That is an absurd call.Wait - they counted that basket on that "foul"? How is that possible?
The starting 5 for IU all stepped up. Not much else though. Sheehey had a bad game.Watford was huge for IU tonight. Zeller/Oladipo will get a lot of accolades (deservedly), but IU doesn't win that without Wat's double-double.
Good win for IU.That Big Ten Tournament is going to be awfully fun.M has a brutal 3 game stretch now - v Ohio, at WI, at MSU. They need to go 2-1 and they will be ok.Michigan showed great composure up until the last couple of minutes. Pretty tough for college kids to win in that atmosphere on the road. Burke is just a beast, Hardaway is much improved from last year, and that giant white guy down low plays tough. IU's remaining schedule is brutal so they prolly are going to get at least another 2 L's but if they don't make Final Four this year is a disappointment.
I remember for a lot of years in the 90s-00s that UM always had great talent, but you could always count on a dumb play late in the game (bad shot, unforced TO). Then they hired Bielein and I figured those days were done based on how his WV teams always played.But then Burke took a really bad looking 3 - very deep, very early in the clock - and I said to myself, "There it is."(This was before the 3-pointer/FT parade at the end - maybe the one with about 4 minutes left.)Michigan showed great composure up until the last couple of minutes.

Yep. He shouldn't take 24 shots....and definitely not a dozen 3-pointeres....I thought Burke tried to do a bit too much by himself.
Two best teams in college basketball, but I doubt it. I think both teams will end up with 4 losses and there will be several teams with only 3 or 4 losses.Two one seeds?
This Michigan team is still far better coached than any Michigan team in the past. Burke may be getting a big head from all the hype of being the best player in the country. But this game was a abnormality. Beilein will right the ship and Burke will work to get the other players more involved. He still had 8 assists, but it is not a good sign that he took so many shots.I remember for a lot of years in the 90s-00s that UM always had great talent, but you could always count on a dumb play late in the game (bad shot, unforced TO).

Probably. But the Illini are on the brink of not making the tourney. I think they step up and pull one out.hey Big ten nerds - Wisconsin kills the Illini today, right?
Aren't the Badgers kind of in the same boat?Probably. But the Illini are on the brink of not making the tourney. I think they step up and pull one out.hey Big ten nerds - Wisconsin kills the Illini today, right?
6 is the floor. The question will be if Illinois or Iowa can finish strong and make a 7th. But the wheels have fallen off the Illini. Iowa needs a couple of big wins down the stretch.Wisconsin doing well so far. Huge game for them because I still feel like the Big 10 doesn't get more than 6 in.

I am in awe of the dominance as a conference. Certainly better than any B1G collection I can remember, and rivals any other conference powerhouses in my history... maybe an ACC group that was as good in the past, but I'm sure it's close.Friggin' AWESOME!B1G Tourney may be more well stocked than this year's Sweet16Coaches poll.....1. Indiana, 3. Michigan, 8. Michigan State, 10. Ohio State, 18. Minnesota.It won't last though. All have games against each other, so they will be at least 3 losses in that group. No other top 20 team faces a top 20 opponent.

I think he means THIS WEEK.All of the ranked B1G teams play one of the others before the next rankings come out on Monday. There are no other matchups of top-20 teams this week.Yea that can't be right. Duke doesn't play Miami again? Kansas/Kansas State? All the Big East teams?Really?Ever?Coaches poll.....1. Indiana, 3.
