B1G Conference Predictions 2021-22

[Stuhoo 85,464]

 

This thread usually gets the posting adrenaline flowing. Forget about the B1G tourney. Let's see your picks for:

• Conference record for each team --  20 games per team
• Conference standings - to avoid mocking responses it'd be nice if y'all have the league's collective in-conference record as .500    :)
• Which teams make the big dance
• Conference Player of the year
• Conference Freshman of the year

Have at it!

1. Purdue 15-5, NCAA
2. Ohio State 14-6, NCAA
3. Michigan 13-7, NCAA
4. Illinois 12-8, NCAA
5. Michigan State, 12-8, NCAA
6. Indiana, 12-8, NCAA
7. Maryland, 11-9, NCAA
8. Rutgers, 11-9, NCAA
9. Nebraska, 10-10 ... the talent level is way higher than you may think
10. Iowa, 9-11
11. Northwestern 7-13
12. Wisconsin, 6-14 ... Greg Gard's last year as Head Bucky
13. Penn State, 5-15
14. Minnesota, 3-17

Conference player of the year: Jaden Ivey, Purdoooooo: the only thing left is the jump shot--betcha he's been working hard at that.

Conference Freshman of the year: Max Christie, MSU: team has pretty good talent, but needing a featured guy...and he's it.

B1G conference predictions:

1. The referees' calls are not going to get better;

2. Three universities will forfeit games because of Covid-19; 

3. The ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 alliance will not agree to assume responsibility from the NCAA regarding self regulation of college sports; 

4. The Big Ten Network will not expand it's offering of live sports such as soccer or swimming or golf and BTN+ will still suck;

5. Indiana University Men's Basketball Team will find on it's roster: a great PG and not who you think; a great shooter and not who you think; a great glue guy...well, we know who this is;  and a great banger underneath that hits all the buttons...not;

6. Indiana University Men's Basketball Team gets into the NCAAT without being on the bubble;

7. Indiana does not lose to OSU at Assembly Hall on January 6;

8. Coach Woodsen gets a really decent pay raise in 2022; 

9  Indiana beats purdue but not in basketball, sorry; 

10. Coach Woodsen doesn't immediately find the shooters to play 4 out and 1 in...but it does happen this season;

11. Recruiting picks up and the trend gets better and better!

a great shooter and not who you think    Durr?

a great glue guy...well, we know who this is    Galloway?

a great PG and not who you think    Duncomb  :) ?

If TJD can develop more of his outside game, in part because of Durr spending some time as the 5...then Durr will be worth his salt...but not the (outside and 18' ) shooter that I was positing. Remember, Durr is from the AAC not the ACC. But hope his numbers there translate to the B1G.

Galloway already is a role glue guy.  Just think if he can hit a few shots!  Yeah, great!

I never thought of Duncomb as a great PG...trying to envision it...heh, yeah no.

I predict that each team will play 20 conference games instead of 18 this season. :)

IU will finish above 0.500 in conference

AAARRRHHHHH!!! It most certainly is 20, not 18 conference games. 

Please adjust accordingly, y'all.

Can we mock those who don’t post a conference POY in replying to their own post?
