Beat me to it

Quite simple. Change way the game is officiated in the conference. There is now a talent gap with other conferences based on how teams have had to build to compete. NIL should help some schools get better players (see Rutgers and Maryland recruiting). It can be fixed and quickly if we eliminate tackle basketball. The issue is that some of the schools benefit from the status quo and would be left behind (Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa).

This hopefully will be a game TJD dominates. Short turn times against an unfamiliar opponent gives them less time to practice and develop an advanced game plan for him

Everyone’s thoughts on the best 1st round matchups (non IU)? I think TAMU and PSU will be a good one

This for real or a joke?

There was also a jump ball they called as a foul and we got away with a kicked ball under the goal. Three fairly important calls all under a minute to go

Look at the bright side. We are done with B1G officiating for the year!

And he camps out in the lane and never gets a 3 second call.

Count me as one of the former matchup “conspiracy theorists” but your explanation gives a lot of clarity and makes sense. Thanks! Glad in your scenario we won’t be shipped out west again.

Betting we also get a 4 seed with UK as a 5 in our bracket

Michigan should feel the same way. If we don’t fit the “desperate,” “hungry,” or “pissed” role after getting stomped by Iowa in our house and being TJD’s last home game then we should pack it up now.

Would be nice to play Virginia in that respect.

Particularly if said 12/13 seed shoots ~75% until garbage time with a large volume of threes. Not many teams in the country who could overcome that

And jump ball!

Clear over the back there
