Having watched parts of two big ten games and then turn it on the UK and Alabama it is night and day. The difference in the style of play and just the length and athletic ability is so different. I think this is the main reason it has been 22 years since the big ten has won a championship 

The reason I think Purdue doesn’t make the S16

Refs have screwed Boston College... No surprise as they are playing Duke. 

 

Refs in the UM-MSU game have been as trash as trash gets... Welcome to the Big Ten. 

Same officials that was at our game at Iowa

Because the Big Ten wants Wisconsin basketball to be THE basketball. How good would Wisconsin be in the SEC this year?

Malik Hall with the heat check 3 that hits the board a foot to the right of the rim. 
Guess he wasn’t hot.

Talking to some friends about UK, racking our brains about who would replace Cal if this is his last year and I’ve got nothing. Assuming they would go pretty big there obviously.

So would this be considered as bad as a loss as ours in Iowa? Wisky getting thumped by a team the was in complete disarray just a few days ago!

Just shows you that there isn't much separation between the teams in the league. Also shows there are no elite or great teams in the conference

THAT might be the Billy Donovan job.

I'd recommend the guy at Rhode Island....

No thanks!

Gilmore from Wisky looks like Brad Davison with his hair dyed darker! Are we sure that’s not Davison in disguise?

Similar but with a few differences

Illinois' fewer losses and those were against P6 teams. Illinois coming in on a 1 game losing streak. Iowa was on a 3 game losing streak (lost 4 of 5 with the only win against a bad team).

Wiscy hasn't had any bad losses coming into this one. They competed with Kansas and maybe should have won that game. They don't have the mushroom stamp on their foreheads from Rutger and Kansas.

They would probably go after Holtmann first since he is from Kentucky.  His parents are die hard Kentucky fans

That makes sense and would be much preferred to Billy D. He’s OURS next time!

Add to this that Illinois is actually ahead of Wiscy in KenPom rankings.

Not sure if you’re joking or not, but would anyone be surprised? Especially if Cal leaves after next season.

Holy crap TCU’s court is horrific.
