Two and a half hours for a non-OT game. Big Ten refs are so used to Purdue winning at home they must have needed more time to write the obituary.

Would not recommend taking a black light to Dan Hurley’s bathroom mirror.

Road wins are massive especially against tournament quality teams.   That’s a huge win for the Buckeyes that probably moves them into the projected field.    Neutral court win against Kentucky and a road win against Purdue.    Just makes IU win on the road even better

B1G is going to get rolled in March 

no dominant team that have separated themselves from the rest

It feels the B1G's best shot of 1 Sweet 16 team is Wisky getting put in Milwaukee and having a pseudo home court for two games. Early on, it feels like 1985 and there will be 3 teams from the same conference (SEC) and maybe Dookie/Iowa St/some rando is the other team.

Minny up 9 at Iowa in the second half

One of the B1G’s best shots at the Sweet 16 is still IU, because if about a billion improbable ‘if’s’ go right at least we have the personnel talent to compete with talented teams.

And because almost every other B1G team has zero chance

I missed the Purdoo fail and am impatiently waiting for Peacock to make the replay available.

I would love to see Wisconsin get a win in Westwood just to see what else Cronin can whine about. He might actually explode soon.

Minny up 15 at Iowa with 7 min to go

MSU/Illinois are S16 teams and that’s about it. Maybe UM

Oregon has 7 Q1 wins and has some nice wins over some Sec teams.  They would ne my pick to make a run 

[johnsoniu 6,697]

Iowa back to within 5

1 minute left

[johnsoniu 6,697]

Iowa comeback falls short.

wake Forest up on UNC 67-60 with 20 seconds left. Hubert Davis crappy year continues 

UCLA/Wisconsin good game. Bruins up 7 with 6 to go

[DoctorP 1,318]

The environment at Pauley Pavilion tonight is pretty….uninspiring. Lotta empty seats

lol…I can’t see it. 
 

Purdue beat Alabama handily. MSU, Illinois and UM could all make the S16. I don’t see anyone going much further due to the talent issue you highlight. B1G will look meager coming out of Week 1 and probably nonexistent going into the second weekend.

I smell a rat with the Arky-sure 1st round pick Boogie:

• Injures hand against UF. Still leads the team in minutes with 34.
• Plays team leading 38 minutes the next game against LSU and scores 19 points with 5 assists.
• Plays team leading 33 extremely frustrating minutes in a blowout loss against Missouri.
• Arkansas is now 0-5 in conference because they are the usual poorly coached Calipari band of mercenaries.
• NOW decides that his hand is too injured and will sit the rest of the season ... (to prepare for the draft).

It happens with a Calipari player way too often - their real coach is their agent; Calipari makes a deal with the devil
