B1G Tournament Thread

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Other than Indiana, I generally prefer to see the B1G lose. I strongly dislike Illinois, Purdue, MSU, OSU, Wisconsin; don’t like Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, Penn State; so go NW and Michigan...?

100% agree. NW and Michigan are the only ones I can kind of root for. Next tier would be Nebraska and Penn State.

I can root for OSU better now with Holtman than I could with Matta when they were landing 5 stars left and right.

I actually liked Matta - I thought he was a strong coach who recruited fairly well due to his coaching chops, not because he was cheating. OSU is a strong brand name which helps immensely.

I just hate THE Ohio State University with a passion, and will never like them no matter the coach.

Barf.

My brother-in-law goes to OSU.  Calls it "THE" OSU every time.  I call him on it.  He even gave my kid an OSU shirt, as if it was some great honor to know an actual student of THE OSU.  I told him "yeah there's 0% chance he'll be wearing that."  Like dude, get your own kid to brainwash.  This one is mine.

I wish Purdue wasn’t Purdue; Painter, Haas, and PJ Thompson are easy to root for.
Thank goodness they have Haarms , Cline, and the Purdue fan base so that I can appreciate my dislike for the whole of the situation.

This... is a really odd marketing concept. “Hey we’re here! Everyone else is really effing far away tho!”

Hey, New Brunswick is only 31 miles.  Then again, who really gives a crap about New Brunswick?

"Hey, look at all these major universities that have wasted a whole lot of money to travel here!  Heck, they even screwed up all of their season scheduling just to make it here this week!  ONLY THE B1G!!"

This goes beyond this tournament and this conference, but having every team in the conference in a tournament is stupid...Participation!

I've never been a fan of conference tournaments and the fact that we rarely even sniff winning it doesn't help. Kinda embarrassing for a program of our alleged stature. Also seems to diminish a seasons worth of work to win the regular season championship.

I heard there are buses around NYC advertising for the BTT, and they have pictures of Basil Smotherman on them, also Troy Williams.  Basil transferred from Purdue I think 2 years ago, and obviously Williams isn't here.

Fail.

Conference tournaments shouldn’t even exist. Regular season champion is the true champion

Enough Big Ten failure surrounding this seasons conference tournament to write an "Idiots Guide on Conference Tournaments."

Rutgers vs. Minny - first basket wins?

[HoosierSadaseci 2,258]

I hope the winner of this Rutgers/Minny game plays this poorly tomorrow against us, however i expect the opposite to happen.
