Wake Forest drilling Rutgers at the first half under 8 mark, 29-16.

[RaceToTheTop 29,122]

My Big Ten WAR ratings through today (WAR is a measure of the team's wins minus the number of wins I would expect the last at large bid in the tournament to have based on the schedule the team has played).  SOS measure is the minimum winning percentage that would be needed based on their current schedule, so good SOS are low, not high).

Team	W	L	Min wins	WAR	SOS	SOS rank
Purdue	8	1	4.92	3.08	0.547	1
Wisconsin	7	2	5.2	1.8	0.578	2
Indiana	7	1	5.55	1.45	0.694	6
Illinois	7	1	5.79	1.21	0.724	8
Northwestern	6	1	4.91	1.09	0.701	7
Ohio St	7	1	5.96	1.04	0.745	9
Nebraska	7	1	6.67	0.33	0.834	14
Iowa	5	3	4.93	0.07	0.616	3
Rutgers	5	2	5.55	-0.55	0.793	13
Michigan St	4	4	5.11	-1.11	0.639	5
Minnesota	5	3	6.27	-1.27	0.784	11
Michigan	4	5	5.58	-1.58	0.620	4
Maryland	4	4	5.98	-1.98	0.748	10

Good thing Dickinson is out for the Kansas game.  We should win that one handily.

Do not believe that is true.  It was reported on one ‘site’ and a tweet from ‘Jon Rothstein’ but the account spelled Jon with an m.  Fake account.

I want to play them at full strength. Damn. 

See above.  Believe that was just a fake tweet.

Terps have the worst body language of any team I can remember. They all look like they kinda dislike one another, often don't have all five players huddle between plays. 

There was just a double tech assessed and one of their players was on the ground for 15 seconds tapping at Reese and another dude to help him up, before he eventually got frustrated and gave up. The latter two were busy jawing at PSU

Noticed the same.  I will always pull for ex-Hoosiers*, so seeing JG looking miserable sucks.

*Unless they are playing current Hoosiers

A meh Wake Forest team finishes tonight’s destruction of Ruger.

Apparently the pregame “win this one for Dylan Harper” speech did not resonate.

Why? He left.

I don't wish players that leave ill, instead I just stop caring.

On rare occasions I root for them:

Mo Creek. Al Durham.

Personal preference I guess, I choose to remember the good moments for those who don the Cream & Crimson and appreciate their efforts.

Yeah, there are occasions I do still for for them. Creek is a good example. But in general I just stop caring. Geronimo is not an exception for me.

I always pull and pay attention to guys who transfer. No hard feelings. Things just don't workout sometimes.

I’m guessing him leaving was mutual.  One of those times where it was best for both sides.   Bates  I believe the staff wanted to come back and to be honest he would have gotten a lot of minutes and opportunity if he did.    Woodys coaching isn’t for everyone 

[Uspshoosier 51,600]

Kolek is putting on a show. Has 16 at half and Marquette is up 14 at half.    Kid definitely worked on his shot over the summer.    Teams can’t go under like they did last year 

[Uspshoosier 51,600]

Geronimo just gave up a 4 pt play to let Penn St go up 1.

Definitely not for Jerome Hunter .
