*turns on “premiere” B1G Basketball Game*
 

*teams are on pace to combine for about a hundo*
 

“I’m home; where defense lives.”

Most B1G games for me are never on the main TV.  If it is it’s to listen to Hummel call the game because I don’t want to listen to some of the others that are available

That’s an awesome question.    I forgot about him.   He was fun to watch as well.

Green light to be a bad team too.

Conference record doesn’t matter.  If they got the wins to be on the right side then they will be in.    If they keep losing it will work itself out but the terrible conference record wouldn’t keep them automatically out 

Doesn't the committee also factor in how a team finishes?  Let's say they win three of their last six and then are one and out in the conference tournament.  Wouldn't losing 8 of the last 11 be a factor?

For the record, I have them still in at the moment (41st overall, 11 seed) when I put in the results from today a couple of hours ago.  I am personally of the opinion that the overall record is the important factor, not when they occurred but I thought that was something that the committee looked at.

That said, if they do finish last in the conference they are probably out because that would mean they continued to lose.

A couple of hours ago, my bracket had IU as the first team out....and Michigan in.  With Michigan's loss, I'll at least temporarily have IU back in.

No they changed that they no longer look at how they finish and instead go by the entire body of work

No the committee doesn’t look at the last 10 or 12 games anymore.  They stopped doing that 10 or more years ago.    A win in November means just as much as a win in March.    Conference records are not on a team sheet

Did you hear Hummel and Jason say that during the broadcast.   As they were going to break Hummel said ufc on later and Jason said there is ufc on now as well.  Lol

Salt in wound.   Durham 83% foul shooter.   10/10 today.  Providence up 3 with 10 sec to go

I did not…I was in the middle of my own UFC/B1G matchup with my kids during most of that game. Benetti and Hummel are top notch.

That said, he can't hit a shot from the field.  Shooting 34% from the field and 23% from three for the year.  But he's in the top five in the country in getting to the line and he hits them.

And the Big 1.o front office is loving it!

I wish I could remember the article about college basketball and/or football moving south and to the coasts. It was absolutely spot on..

The Big seems to be operating under the delusion that the NBA is still playing 1990s style basketball.

I seriously don't understand exactly what they think the benefit of producing the games they are producing is.  It's plodding, tackling basketball in a day and age where finesse players are making bank in the NBA.

I don't think it is a coincidence that no big ten recruits ate playing in tbe McDonald's AA game.  The big ten should be embarrassed at the product that we see on the floor in big ten games.  They also should be embarrassed by the quality of the refs on the conference.  It is ugly basketball and top players don't want to play this style of basketball.

I would look to West Laffy, East Lansing, and Madison as the major reasons we have tackle basketball. They're not too concerned about getting NBA talent in West Laffy or Madison and focusing on winning the Big 1.o title. That might explain some of the stupidity.
