Niagara up 2 at half 

Niagara up 2 with a little over 4 min to go.   Both teams hitting big shots.

Maryland/St Louis about to tip off.    Should be a good one.   Can the B1G continue its hot streak

Maryland up 24 at half.   Not a good look for St Louis

Niagara holds on.   They didn’t even get a shot off.

My opinion on the top teams in the B1G based solely on the eye test. 

1. Illinois (they look like they have the most balance and talented guards)

2. Indiana (Thought we were the deepest and most balanced but this last game exposed that. It’s the TJD and X show. Still a great win on the road. Our shooting is worrisome to me.)

3. MSU (Gonzaga is a paper Tiger and one dimensional. Not one of the better Mark Few teams. Kentucky can’t shoot the ball worth a lick and I think that great teams have to be able to shoot from the perimeter. MSU can win the B1G this season. They look like the most cohesive unit.) 

 

I think we have the most upside if we can maximize our talent. X is clearly our most dynamic PG and the offense needs to be initiated through him. We’re flat out better when that’s happening. JHS will get more comfortable and find a way to have a better impact I’m sure. Very very concerned with Kopp’s position. He kills us while he’s out there. When people argue that he gets lost less on D, that’s not an adequate excuse for him to play the minutes he’s getting imho. Geronimo will get lost less with more confidence. More confidence will come with more minutes and being allowed to play through mistakes. Imagine if Bates or Geronimo were allowed to play with the amount of leash afforded to Kopp. He’s an end of the bench player in my view. 
 

Should be an exciting and stressful season for us all. That’s what we’ve all be begging for. Bring on Miami OH!

Wrong thread. Sorry guys. Meant for the Xavier vs IU thread.

Oakland/Eastern Michigan going to OT.    Eastern couldn’t inbounds the ball and Oakland scored with 1.8 to tie it up

Oakland wins it lol.   Eastern Michigan couldn’t even get a shot off to try and tie it up.    Brutal

Wow, that's an epic comeback. Or collapse, depending on your perspective. I personally go with it being an epic collapse since one would have to make a lot of mistakes to blow a 20 point lead in less than 5 minutes. Especially in what wasn't an abnormally high scoring game, at home, and against a much lower ranked team.

Game isn’t on espn+ or I would have went back and watched it.   But looking at the play by play they were also up 8 with around 50 sec to go.    Wild going through the last 5 min of play by play.    A lot of foul shots for the Louisiana team that came back

Loaded slate today headlined by zags/Kentucky

Furman/South Carolina and Murray st/Tulsa start the day out     Maybe a World Cup game on one of the side TVs today

James Madison plays North Carolina today at noon.  If they play like they have been playing this might be closer then people think.   James Madison has looked really good to start the year.   I’m interested in how they will do today

And their only remaining pre-IU game is a much easier one against Portland.

The big night is completely on track.

Portland is their first opponent in the PK tourney.   They should have to play some better teams after that.  I need to look that one up
