Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I don't often agree with you (which is fine because we all have opinions) but B1G basketball is on the verge of becoming unwatchable for me. It encourages a style of play that I don't really care for. I blame coaches who like to 'practice with pads' to simulate physical play in the post for the officiating problems. It can't be fun to play that way. NOLA Hoosier, thebigweave, Alford Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote

It can't be fun to play that way.I’m sure it has hurt the conferences recruiting. Why come to the Big Ten when you can go to the ACC or something and the refs actually call hand checking and tackling? If you’re a big time guard, this conference just isn’t for you. Even spacing hasn’t been great in the Big Ten this season. Seems every team is just packed in right. Watching other conferences and it seems like there is so much more space for guys to move. B1G is going to have to get control of the officiating eventually or else the conference is going to go downhill. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Alford Bailey and Ranger78 2 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I watched one possession of the OSU-PSU game and saw at least two fouls on Carton. 1 was blatant and went uncalled. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

killerbeezer Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 It’s a shame OSU couldn’t get a quality coach... This clearly isn’t working. Maybe they can get Beilein or Alford? thebigweave and Str8Hoosiers 1 1 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 We’re so terrible. O$U was beating us at halftime and they’re a hot mess. What is everyone’s ranking of shooting teams in the conference? Nothing but pure shooting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Alford Bailey Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Parity is not necessarily a good thing when it is caused by poor shooting, poor fundamentals and a general lack of effort. Loaded Chicken Sandwich 1 Quote
TXHoosierDaddy Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 I've never liked Scott Drew but damn he's done a hell of a job at Baylor. A team that is consistently in the top 25 and from what I have seen is the best team in the country this year. Gonzaga being a close second. Baylor downs OSU at OSU 75-68 thebigweave 1 Quote
TXHoosierDaddy Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Pretty sure Myles Powell is the best scoring guard in the country. Almost unstoppable going 1-1. Quote

You see so many kids blossom even as rookies at the next level.There are just so many kids leaving early now. Even if they aren’t going to get drafted. It’s definitely hurt the college game. Used to if you were a lottery pick you were guaranteed to leave. Now if you’re a late 1st/early 2nd you leave. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
