Torn MCL for Gillisepie.  Brutal news for him.    2 straight years for the kid getting the tournament taking away 

[IUc2016]

And Davis had the 4th, 11th, 17th and 18th hardest schedules (but managed to finish .500 or better in the conference all 4 of those years). He had a couple of brutally hard pre-conference schedules.
This year is partially ranked first because of how deep the Big Ten is but also because of Covid....ie no pre-conference cupcakes to bring down the overall degree of difficulty.

Plus the big ten is tough for every big ten team. Don’t see Michigan, Illinois, MSU (expect this year), Ohio state, Purdue, Wisconsin struggling with their tough schedules.

Nope, just poor ol IU.

Poor guy. Maybe we can give him a box of freshly baked cupcakes as a parting gift.

Probably a box of freshly counted 10 million.   He will be fine.

Illinois won 4 games and 7 games in the B1G a couple years ago.  They definitely struggled with their tough schedule early on

Speaking of under .500 in the conference.  They just said Izzo has never finished under .500 in conference.   That probably changes this year

Not necessarily. I won't be surprised if they win both these

What you think of the elbow call on Henry? His arm never moved towards him or nothing.

I can see why they called it.   When you slow it down he moves it to the side when it looks like he didn’t have to do it.  Personally it looked like a basketball move snd a no call but I see why they called it

I would have liked the no call but rewatching it i see what your saying but bs when the defender is creating all the contact. Why isn't flopping called on some of those plays and I am not talking about this one more like all Durham in our last game. I think guys are over selling it on purpose and should be penalized

One of the best stories in college basketball this year is Bellarmine.  In their 1st D1 season they finished 2nd in the ASUN.  Tied with Stetson with 12 min to go in the ASUN quarterfinals.   If Bellarmine ends up winning the tournament then Liberty would get the auto bid.   Bellarmine wouldn’t be eligible for the Ncaa tournament. When you first go to D1 you have to wait a certain amount of years before you are eligible for the ncaa tournament which is crap

Bro, they are about to be a #1 seed. Would have been a #4 seed last year.

C’mon

Has nothing to do with them struggling with a difficult schedule early on.   Congrats to them on turning it around.  Looking forward to watching them the next 2 weeks

Kansas down 11 to Utep early in the first half

You’re seriously stretching if that post about the difficult schedule was a way to say Archie has a reason for his struggles ALL 4 years. The big ten has been so tough for all teams. Yet Almost all have had success except IU and the typical bottom feeders.

I have been a huge Archie supporter/defender but even I can see it’s been a huge failure no matter the schedule.

I bring information to the board what you do with it is your choice.  I don’t stretch anything.  Point of the post as always is to bring as much data to board as possible

With their infractions case still lingering, I think some players game checks are being withheld, resulting in some players shaving points to supplement their income. David McCormack in particular.

 

I may or may not have lost a few wagers on KU that led me to this conclusion.

Which is totally fine. I didn’t think you were implying anything by it until YOU responded to my post.

I responded because your post included Illinois who struggled with their tough schedule in their first 2 years.  Give underwood all the credit in the world for changing his approach these last 2 years but that doesn’t change the fact the he was historically bad in Illinois history early on.  That’s just my opinion.  I wouldn’t of added Illinois with the other teams
