Big Ten Basketball 2022/2023 - Return to Power (3 Viewers)

Man, you guys are going to hate Brad Davison in a few years. 

Not "in a few years" I guess I meant "for a few years"

He's gone in 2, maybe 3 weeks. Can you people stop whining now?

 

[RCon]

Is Indiana/Michigan a play-in game at this point?

I think it absolutely is for IU. I saw a "bracketology" post with UM as a 10-seed and IU first 4 out.  So yeah, maybe for both?

Of course people defend Davison. They’re just the same people who defend an assistant coach putting their hands on opposing players

Right. It definitely is for Indiana. And maybe for Michigan.

 

[whoknew]

Ready for this tournament to get started. I predict ... Purdue over Iowa in the final.

Entertaining first game. Nebraska was up 15 in the 2nd half but Northwestern storms back and wins by 2.

Just horrible play calls, execution on last two offensive possessions for Neb. 

I think Penn St. has a good chance to knock off OSU.

Games start so early today. 10:30 ct for this Michigan fan. 

Well, that's why you have the tv in the office, whoknew.

Working from on the west coast is glorious this time of year.  8:30am tip off!!

Forks up!!!

Lots of boos for Howard’s introduction. Good start.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Good thing Johnson came to play for IU cuz nobody else seems to have shown up

I turned it on just in time to sit through the ENTIRE 5-minute commercial break for the under-12.

Watched about 3 minutes of game times, saw multiple IU turnovers and bricked wide-open looks. Turned it off. Don't need the aggravation while I'm working.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Haha here comes another techfest. I'll keep watching to see who gets into a slapfight I guess.

 

[whoknew]

Good first half for the good guys. DeVante Jones has been playing great lately. Another good half for him.

Ref show. Stupid refs thinking they need to give techs for no particular reason.

Dickinson was talking #### directly to the ref. He deserved the "T".

 

[whoknew]

Dickinson was talking #### directly to the ref. He deserved the "T".

Please. He said "And one."

Ridiculous.

 

[nysfl2]

Please. He said "And one."

Ridiculous.

I didn't see it, but it sounds like it was pretty ticky-tack. However, Michigan needs to avoid doing any trash-talking or talking to the refs, as they're unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt after the Howard incident.

Exactly

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

IU finally waking up and making a game of it.

Hopefully the refs stay out of it...

And of course I've got a meeting starting in a few minutes

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

ugh

 

[whoknew]

Jesus. What an absolute collapse by Michigan. Looks like they've never played basketball before.

 

[heckmanm]

Hopefully the refs stay out of it...

Well they didn't on that play.

 

[The General]

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

20-2 run, wow

 

[TripItUp]

Jackson Davis is dominating down the stretch here.

 

[nysfl2]

Has Dickinson taken a shot in the 2nd half?

 

[The General]

They are letting them go at it

 

[The General]

Has Dickinson taken a shot in the 2nd half?

He’s getting pissed 

 

[nysfl2]

He’s getting pissed 

He should be. He was killing IU in the first.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

umaa goes down, the handshake line will be...interesting.

...and Woodson takes a timeout up 7 with 2 to go...

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Dickinson is soft.  He's going to get eaten alive in the NBA

 

[The General]

CLOSE THIS #### OUT

 

[whoknew]

U-M led 60-43 with just over 12 minutes to play, now trails 71-64 with 1:53 to play.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this.

 

[The General]

Stop passing the ####### ball backwards in the back court 

 

[The General]

Why do I watch this

 

[The General]

I was having a nice morning

 

[nysfl2]

He should be. He was killing IU in the first.

3 shots in the 2nd half - a three-pointer, a tip-in, and I assume one actual post-up. What the hell are they doing?

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Forks Up!!!!

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Unbelievable comeback for IU and collapse for umaa.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Dickinson was nonexistent in the 2nd half. TJD took the game over.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

I think there's still a decent possibility that umaa does not make the tourney with that loss now.

8-12 in quads 1 & 2, 17 wins overall, 7-9 away from home, that is hardly a lock. 

OTOH, Indiana with 19 wins I think does get in.

U-M led 60-43 with just over 12 minutes to play, now trails 71-64 with 1:53 to play.

IU has done very similar things twice this year

 

[urbanhack]

crazy...watched the first five min of the second half and then had to jump on a meeting. just checked espn for final score...

 

[The General]

Juwan didn’t pull any business with Woodson in the handshake line. Woulda hated to see Mike slap him around.

He slapped Woodson on the back...

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

In the first evening game tonight I think Maryland beats MSU.  They are just not a good team. 

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Revson at the intermission with a stat that only 3 at large bids in the history of tNCAA have gone to teams below .550 winning percentage. umaa's loss to IU today puts them at .548
