I guess the football players just wanted to play in the post season?dino259 said:Nebraska adding 2 football players to the basketball roster for the B1G tourney.
I think Rutgers is really good. They were tough as nails last season and I believe it's carried over.I don't know how good Rutgers is this year. They might be very good. I am pretty sure that Maryland is not good this year. Thinking the Terps go 7-13 in conference at best.
What's the over/under? 200?I had no idea that Iowa is playing Gonzaga on Saturday. Looking forward to that game.
I didn't get to watch all of the second half of Rutgers - Illinois but was fun from what I saw. Obviously enjoyed the result. Ron Harper has taken his game up a level or two with how he's improved his 3 pt shooting early on.Watched a bit of OSU -Purdue, both looked good. Illinois -Rutgers Sunday at noon With 3 of top 7 in Illinois rotation freshman this might be a great opportunity for Rutgers. With 4 returning starters for Illinois, an AA and two possible All Big Ten team starters...should be a great game. Illinois played an excellent Baylor team and a very good and motivated Missouri team in games to toughen them up. Illinois weaknesses so far this season...turnovers and ft shooting. However this game turns out it is an early test for two Big contenders.
Good game, hard to win in Big without any mobile forwards. Both of our expected 4's for this season are injured. Mulcahey was bent on getting a rise out of Williams and managed to do it. Huge learning curve with 3 of our top 7 frosh and the injuries to BBV and Hutcherson. This is Illinois toughest of first 10 Big games. Hope for a rematch in BTT.I didn't get to watch all of the second half of Rutgers - Illinois but was fun from what I saw. Obviously enjoyed the result.

B1G refs are total garbage. Always have been always will be.Rutgers just blew an enormous second half lead against OSU thanks to non stop foul calls against big men, and already being down another big due to injury.
Might lose this by 10+.
Consider how bad of an official Boroski is that Pikiell of all people feels it necessary to get a technical foul to make his displeasure clear.RUSF18 said:12 pt loss. I was close.
Pikiell got the first technical of his career today.
This was the 5th foul called on Myles Johnson:

Looks like they are up to something.Our Badgers will certainly be tough to deal with this year.
Yup. Love to see them beat Izzo.Our Badgers will certainly be tough to deal with this year.
That was a great win for the Goofs!Great effort for the Gophers tonight, beating Iowa in OT. They will likely crack the top 25 this week.
I hope not. Don’t want to see it get to their heads. It was a nice win. Let’s see them win another couple of these next five against ranked opponents. If they can do that, then a national ranking MIGHT be warranted. As it stands now, they’ve got one good win, and a bunch of others that were expected wins.Great effort for the Gophers tonight, beating Iowa in OT. They will likely crack the top 25 this week.
It’s not up to me but when a team is 8-1 with a win against a top 5 team, it’s likely they find themselves ranked.I hope not. Don’t want to see it get to their heads. It was a nice win.

Wasn’t disagreeing necessarily. I’d just rather not see them ranked (yet). I think being ranked at this point in the season could do them more harm than good.It’s not up to me but when a team is 8-1 with a win against a top 5 team, it’s likely they find themselves ranked.
Speaking as a Spartan alum and slappy, we’ll see. They have been in a bad shooting funk of late. Of course, This is the usual time in the season Izzo is shuffling the lineups around until mid-late January. So that’s part of it. Guard play has been inconsistent and Bingham has been non existent. Joey Hauser has been about the only bright spot.Michigan State is going to be ready to go this evening, coming off a couple of losses.
Yes you did. Not the MSU I’m used to seeing. Usually, they are the team finding a way to win, even when they maybe don’t shoot it well, or play that well. Tonight was the other way around. Not sure if MIN is good, or they’re that bad.... probably a combination of both. It’s still relatively early....Told ya...
Not when they are unconscious from 3 in the first half. And it’s Purdue. You’re in luck.No Harper Jr tonight for Rutgers vs Purdue is going to be a problem. This team isn't deep enough to be down multiple starters unfortunately.
Montez Mathis took "next man up" seriously. Career high 25 and went 5/5 from 3.Not when they are unconscious from 3 in the first half. And it’s Purdue. You’re in luck.
He's the new **** Vitale. Awful.That moment when you're excited to watch a marquee big ten matchup then hear Dan Dakich's voice.
Henry has really stepped up the last couple games as well. Great to see Langford back. I hope he is able to return to form.Rutgers is decent and the the boys made Ron Harper a non factor. Defense, rebounding, ball movement. Hoggard has been a huge spark.
A win, great defense, and a ton of turnovers. Doesn't get more MSU basketball than that. Go Green
