Cheaney40 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Could have just had the tourney in Indy or Chicago like always and Michigan could have taken a bus…but no, the league must continue to pander to the East Coast. I saw someone on Twitter say the hotel they were staying at for the Big Ten Tournament didn't carry the Big Ten Network .... Bring it back to the Midwest LockdownD and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Double Down Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I think the B1G tourney will do better in NYC. People don't realize that D.C. isn't really east coast. It's its own beast and more south (by geography). Robert E Lee could fly a paper airplane to it from his residence. However, I agree, that it just feels right that the tournament should be in the heart of it's base. It's not like Chicago is Greensboro. I try to keep an open mind about this kind of stuff. I know that changes are occurring and that the ACC is trying to expand past the Sudetenland. We would be remiss to retreat into isolationism. Unfortunately, Delaney doesn't inspire much confidence. The D.C. selection wasn't a play from strength. Walking Boot of Doom 1 Quote

It is like the B1G is ok with taking 2nd fiddle, when nothing is wrong with Indy and/or Chicago ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

I just think NYC will be a lot better than DC, which looks to be a complete disaster. Chicago/Indy > NYC > DC Str8Hoosiers 1 Quote

Also, I'm very excited to watch the games in MSG. Much better and much easier to get to than the UC. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app LIHoosier and Double Down 2 Quote

HoosierCoop Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Izzo is not afraid to let his team have even though they are up 11. Hmmmm, does that really work? ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Popular Post HoosierCoop Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 9, 2017 Penn St. gets within 9, Izzo calls a time out, Chews some a$$, Makes his adjustments, MSU goes on a 9-0 run, Up 18 at half! That's coaching folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! reconmkd, CR3AMnCR1MS0N, LIHoosier and 7 others 10 Quote
KingPG21 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Izzo is such a good coach. Gets his kids playing their best at the most important time of the year every year. Rarely bows out early in the tourney....... Denzel Valentine's senior year and the George Mason year (I think it was them) are the only ones that jump to mind. Brass Cannon and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Michigan State really needed this win. They are for sure in the tournament now. They needed a win to feel completely safe. And about the BTT location, it should be in Chicago or Indianapolis every single year Crimson and Cream and Str8Hoosiers 2 Quote

Bracket matrix which takes the average of all bracketology had them at a 9.9 average before this game. Sparty was just playing to keep their seed where it's at. Win tomorrow and they can improve their seed although I would argue they are better off at a 10-12 seed then they would be a 8 or 9. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

One year but he's had 7 FFs and a national championship so I can't get on him that bad. Izzo definitely has some talented freshman. The most important one is Miles Bridges.
