Great atmosphere.  Kansas up  11 halfway through the first half.   Espn+ is a must for hoops junkies 

Also golf, hockey, college football, and sports doc junkies. 

I hate ESPN but + is insane value.

I'm never going to pay the extra for it. Big 12 just screwing themselves with a tiny audience.

Michael Lewis auditioning to be take over for Mike Woodson some day? Ball State was up 20 in the first half at Bowling Green, now up 2 with eight minutes left.

I would pay double what I’m paying now for it.  I would hate to miss out as a hoops junkie on all those great games on it almost every night

BSU finishes strong to win 69-60. Back to back road wins and now 15-7 overall.

Unbalanced conference schedules for you 

Woot woot, went 4-2 against the 6 worst teams since the restart. Although now we're tied with Maryland (or they're ahead depending on how you look at it) and Michigan has a worse record than some of them since the restart. Does anyone have Kenpom Big 1.o SOS for conference only games?

Xavier/Providence probably game of the night

I’m sure IU would have liked the chance to play Penn st and Maryland at home and a chance to play the other bottom teams on the road.  Oh well unbalanced schedules are what they are.    Just got to play the teams on the schedule

Last game IU lost that  the fan base was fine with because IU played hard but just came up short?   B1G tourney Iowa? @Purdue last year?

St. Mary's? Won the play-in game to get to the round of 64 and lost to a better St. Mary's team after not sleeping for several days?

I was okay with it because I didn't watch it... But there isn't anything okay with losing by 30.

Doubt a 30 point  beat down qualifies but I could be wrong

If I'm interpreting this correctly we have a 6-5 record against the 4th easiest schedule in the Big 1.o to date?

I was sorting by the "opponents of played games" column. My understanding is that is the strength of the schedule you've already played(?)

I’m not sure.  I just typed in B1G sos and this showed up so I posted it.   Never heard of the website before.  I just looked at the 2 by IU’s name where it ranked the B1G Sos and didn’t dive into anymore than that.   I posted the other site that ranks all teams in conference play not just B1G.  That one is Big 12 top heavy.
