Terrible no foul call. That Cowboy was mugged!

It ain’t right but you almost never get those calls at the end of the game.  
 

OSU with about as dumb of an offense down the stretch as you’ll see. Had to waste a timeout, that they could’ve used, to setup their offense on the second to last possession.

Nah. Great block and if the OSU player had gone to the reverse side of the rim it couldn’t have been blocked.

Nah. That’s one Fisch would’ve called “Hammered”!

It’s not bad. Seats are kind of crowded together but the lighting is nice, amenities are good and they have a little suspended video scoreboard

The lighting comment is honestly shocking. Both from the pictures I posted and from games I’ve seen on ESPN+ the lighting looks like the worst part lol.

I hear ya. Ive watched them on espn+ and the lighting appears way different than in person. The tv cameras are usually stationed in a little crows nest area that is poorly lit.

7:20 left in the first half. 
Maryland has 4 points.

Willard is sure it’s because of mean schedulers.

I have a couple of times.  Went there a few years ago for the Horizon tournament.  Older style gym that when they were in the Horizon league was better than most in the conference, but now that they are in the MVC it's probably lower end for their current conference.  The color of the seats isn't helpful -- they are the two shades of brown/yellow that are in their color scheme.

Big Ten might only be like a 6 bid conference.

I will take whatever you are willing to bet that they are a 7+ bid league.

Maryland 4/30 from the field in the first half.  Michigan 44, Maryland 13.

They could... And they couldn't. Big Ten got a little overrated early. Have come back to earth pretty hard.

Still 8 teams in the top 44 of NET, and that doesn't include Michigan State which likely would be a tournament bid right now due to schedule.

Depends on who beats who within the conference but 6 is probably the floor while 9 would be the ceiling.    Since they did so well during the non conference despite if people think they overachieved during that stretch those wins will give the B1G extra teams in March.   Lowest B1G has had in awhile would have been Archie’s first year when only 4 teams made it.   Nebraska finished 13-5 in conference but got left out.   Unbalanced scheduling had them feasting on the lower half and only had 1 win against the top 4

I'd say 6-7 would fit well. Not that says the Big Ten is definitively better than the ACC or SEC. But it could help that the Pac12 and Big East really struggled.
