I know Stuhoo already covered this, but you can't ignore the fact that IU has 2 quad 1 wins and UK has none. UK shouldn't be ranked, taking Mizzou on the ML last night was easy money.

I'm not. But you also can't ignore we've been dominated in our 3 losses. Indiana and Kentucky have the same problems. Low energy teams with terrible offensive schemes. Are we better? Maybe? Hard to say with X being out now. I guess we are going to find out. 

Both teams have stud big men in TJD and Oscar. 

Both have very good freshman guards in JHS and Wallace(though Wallace is better at this point in time)

Both have veteran forwards who haven't lived up to the expectations this season in Race and Toppin(Though Toppin is losing minutes fast)

Both offenses are built on pick and roll and little ball/people movement

Indiana obviously has a massive game coming up. Kentucky has a freebie. But we are going to have wait to see how good Indiana can be without X. We may very well be on Kentucky's level now.

• Both teams have arenas that seat over 15,000.
• Both teams have had some very bad moments this year.
• Both teams have great size that doesn't always play with force.
• Both teams have high hopes and have had to diminish expectations.
• Both teams have had to deal with key injuries.
• Both teams both teams have athletic forwards that don't show their athleticism. 

Oh, by the way, I'm comparing the Los Angeles Lakers and the Florida Panthers. In other words, your list is a red herring salad.

UK is currently a train wreck with no accomplishments - one win against a Power 5 Conference team, and as USPS said, that was against 7-4 Michigan who lost their 30mpg point guard in the first half.

Say Kentucky was 9-2,  only had losses to top 75 teams, but had beaten Michigan State, and also had easy wins against Power 5 mid 100's KenPom teams DePaul and Georgetown. They'd be Northwestern! lol

I’ve never been more torn on something as a B1G/Bears fan.

Since I don't care about the Bears... Other than them having the best Uniforms in the league... Please take him. He's been garbage since day 1.

They are a trainwreck. Didn't say they weren't. But to think we are just so far ahead of them is just oblivious to reality. Some extra crimson colored glasses.

Wouldn't want to play Connecticut right now.

I'll never forget his decision to cancel the season then reverse course based on flawed science. 

It would be such a Bears move to hire such an incompetent leader. Dude is worthless.

Northwestern/Brown tied at half

Northwestern/Brown tied at half 

Think they changed a Brown 2 to a 3 to give them the lead at halftime. Northwestern looks turrble

Yep, it's got Myles Brand written all over it.

And someone on that team will have a career day against us. Guaranteed. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Watching Providence at Butler...Providence goes to half up 28 at half.

Have to say I don't see Thad Matta's career ending well at Butler.

And then change the rules after the season so Ohio State could playin the conference Championship rather than Indiana.

Nebraska up 18 on Iowa with 6 min to go in the first half

Eh. It's his first season there and Lavall Jordan pretty much ran that program into the ground.

When your post guy banks in a contested 24 footer off the dribble to end the half, it might be your night.

[Uspshoosier]

Iowa down 12 to Nebraska at half, Maryland up 3 at half on umbc.   Northwestern only beat brown by 5.  Michigan up 1 on central Michigan at half. 
 

top 4 finish for the B1G will be there for the  taking

I wasn’t sure where to post this so I decided to post it here.  
 

Whose brilliant idea for this team to take almost 2 weeks off?  I am not thinking of this from a fan’s perspective but from the players perspective.  Knowing this teams history and their propensity for coming out complacent after time off is not advantageous for this teams confidence.  The best way for this team to build confidence is to play an opponent 

[Uspshoosier]

Isu coming out hot.  16-2 and not even at the under 16 timeout
