I know it's at Mackey but it doesn't get much more blatant than that slap on the wrist on that last play. Geez.

No official at Mackey is ever going to call that--they wouldn't make it out alive.

How about the earlier foul when Maryland immediately launched an extended three point shot? Probably should have been 3 FTs. Tough to call that though too.

This is where officiating can get iffy. If you go by the definition of a shooting foul he should have been at the line. Where does it say in the rule book that you don't call a shooting foul on a half court heave with 3 seconds on the clock. Cowan was in the shooting motion before Eastern reached to foul him.

Remember Pitt/Butler game in tourney. They called a foul on Pitt on a full court heave in 2011.

The B1g has some terrific teams this year. At our best we can play with most of them. If we can’t reduce our turnovers we can lose to anyone. The leash has to be short but we have a couple players extremely careless with the ball. Arch gets the check to figure it out.

FTs and turnovers. Not much room for error in this conference.

We went 7-7? And Michigan State, Indiana, Maryland, Purdue and Ohio State lost. 5 teams who are supposed to be in the top 7 of the conference.

Yes, 7-7. Equally competitive with the other top conference. Duke will be favored in every single game they play this season.

 

Also, note I said indicator. It’s a good indicator, not a definitive piece of evidence.

 

Reviewing the teams the B1G has beat in non-con play thus far as well as KenPom ratings are two more indicators that the B1G is strong.

 

You could also say that losses to the top B1G teams to lesser B1G teams is an indicator that we may not have many true title contenders.

 

Make sense? Not everything is black and white, but I believe there are enough indicators to assume the B1G is strong this year.

Edwards tried hard to shoot Purdue out of that game (4/15 FG). Cowan tried harder to shoot Maryland out of it (4/17 FG). 

Two of a few who can make their teams go or almost single handily lose. I hope Green reduces his dumb mistakes throughout the season because we could really use his defense against some of the better Big Ten guards.

I have never wavered that he wouldn’t live up to the hype. As quite a few on this board also did

He's averaging 25 points a game and has been pretty consistent.  You predicted that he wouldn't be a perfect player? Good for you.

Most decent players can score 20 ppg when they use 40% of their teams possessions. 

43% from the field is not NPOTY worthy

It is normal for the B1G to get about half in. Michigan is looking like an easy pick for the Final Four. The ACC has two. The SEC could easily have two with Kentucky and Tennessee. Some say the ACC has 3 but i don’t consider Virginia to ever be a legitimate title contender because of their style of play.

Who’s their third? UNC has looked worse than us this year and you said IU’s ceiling was Sweet 16.
