Cockburn celebrating after a made basket nails a ref in the head with an elbow. Ref is down. That looked nasty

Maybe Michigan will start getting some calls now. This one has been very one sided second half. Too late however.

Michigan on a 8-0 after Cockburn KO’d a ref. Michigan down 4

Illinois has talent and bigs but Michigan made zero adjustments to stop them 2nd half. Illinois just drove and drove and drove and fed their big men and seemingly got fouled or a layup nearly every possession. Have to pack it in and force them to shoot outside. Shot just 1-11 from 3. Juwan Howard getting exposed a little these last few games.

Hate the discrepancy. Really have to be 10 points better. At least. Unless a random ref gets a burr up his butt.

Yup, but hey, at least the Big Ten leads the nation in attendance though...

Was thinking today, how many teams do we think the big ten gets in to NCAA’s? My final standings look like: OSU, Michigan, Mich State, Maryland, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, Penn State, Iowa, Wisco, with a slew of bottom feeders. Realistically, 9 of those teams will likely have an argument for a bit so it’ll be interesting to see how things shake out.

Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan and Maryland are pretty likely. Penn State and Indiana probably have the best chances after that. Illinois right behind them. Iowa will likely be on the outside looking in. Wisconsin isn’t in the conversation.

To date, Illinois looks better than Indiana, having defeated Michigan and losing to Maryland by 1 point at College Park.

Cockburn just absolutely drilled an official in celebration. That red might be in concussion protocol for the rest of his life.

Not really. In the selection committees eyes we have fairly equal tier wins and they have 3 losses. Their Michigan win is a tier 1 win at home. Their Maryland loss is a loss. I would much rather have what we have. 1 loss. If they could have turned that Miami or Maryland loss into a win I would have agreed. They are close though. They just will need wins when it comes time.

Do all losses count the same? Honest question because I don't know. Do teirs play a role at all in the losses? Losing to a quad one team versus a quad two or whatever.

Yes tiers play a role in losses. a Quad 1 loss is much different than a quad 4 loss. The old standards would call quad 3 and 4 losses as "bad losses".

All losses are not the same. Use to be anything over 100 was considered a bad loss in eyes of committee. When they introduced the quad system they acknowledged that they weighted it to where they put more emphasis on winning on the road and made it to where they didn’t punish teams as much for losing on the road or neutral court. A quad 1 win is
1-30- for a home game
1-50- for a neutral court win
1-75- for a road win
What teams need to avoid is losing Quad 3 and 4 games at home. Those are resume killers for teams trying to earn a bid. Teams can overcome those losses but it’s a uphill battle

They also were down close to 30 at home to a Miami team that UConn blew out. Illinois needed OT at home to beat Nicholls. I would say overall IU has looked better to date in my opinion but it’s close

You must not have watched IU's last two games or the Illinois versus Michigan and Illinois versus Maryland games. There is no question Illinois looked better than Indiana in the last two games. If Indiana plays against either of those Big Ten opponents like they did against Wisconsin (or even Connecticut), there will be many disappointed IU fans.

Last 2 games yes but didn’t you say to date Illinois has been better? I was going by the total schedule so far but if you meant just by the last 2 games then yes Illinois has looked better but if you meant to date then some could argue IU has looked better overall

An @$$ kicking by any team is a bad loss. Losing by 30 is a lot different than by 5 or 10. Sane with winning. But the committee capped it at 10.
