2015-2016 B1G Men's Basketball

[LitlBuck]

Watching my first TV Ted game of the year and it has not taken long to confirm this guy is the worst person in the world.

He's probably made 5x's as many calls as the other 2 guys combined. With antics involved for each.

I thought he might have followed Easy Ed Hightower in his retirement since this was the first game I have seen him also. Same old guy liking the camera.

So Saturday I am watching the Boilermakers thrashing the Hawkeyes in the first half by around 17 points. Purdue then honors Rick Mount, one of the greatest jump shooters, in Big Ten history at halftime who gives a pretty crappy speech IMO. Anyhow, the game was so out of hand in favor of Purdue that I turned out damn thing off only to find out late yesterday that I will came back from around 19 points and beat Purdue on its home court. I knew that Mount gave a pretty crappy speech but did not think that it would cause his alma mater the game.

I predicted Purdue as BIG champ and a national championship contender. C'mon Purdue, you're making me look bad!

Saying TV Ted "likes" the camera may be the biggest understatement ever.

Not B1G, but an absolute classic going on in Kansas.

#1 and 2 facing off. OU hitting some crazy shots. Hield has 46 pts.

edit- when did OU get good at basketball again? Kelvin Sampson back there cashing checks and running up the phone bill?

edit2- Brent Musberger going with his outright reference to his "friends in the desert" for back-to-back calls (said the same in Iowa/Stanford)...he doesn't even hide it anymore. We need to hang.

That was a heck of a game. I thought when Wisconsin played Oklahoma it was a a Final Four team and I'm not moving off that position.

I'd argue that, win or lose, the road team in a 3OT game is the better team.

Looking at kenpom.com, this is the most dreadful season for B1G basketball that I can remember. WTF has happened to our league?

Rutgers and Nebraska happened.

Melo Tremble is a monster.

A Tom Izzo team at the turn of a new year is just an amazing thing.

I don't know how he does it but the Spartans are rolling again. Dangerous.

Wow Purdue. Falling on their face in conference. Bunch of pretenders, how many years running now?

 

[LitlBuck]

I wonder how long Pitino will last at Minnesota. They got thrashed by Northwestern almost as bad as we got thrashed by Indiana As @MaxBuck stated above I think they are going to miss Tubby pretty fast.

Wisconsin about to fall to 9-9 and 1-4 in B1G play with a loss to Northwestern......Glorious

What the hell is going on?

NW'ern now 15-3 (3-2) after beating Wisconsin
Nebraska ALL OVER Minnesota 65-35 with 15 minutes (!!!) to play in the 2nd half- Pitino gotta be out tomorrow.
Michigan up on #3 Maryland at home 50-46 in the 2nd half.

WVU upset #1 Kansas in non-B1G action.
