BIG TEN CHAMPIONS

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Maybe they should go back to the pure round-robin format. That would solve a lot, plus it would get some of those cupcakes off our schedule.

They could definitely start Big 10 play in early December, after the semester is over.

How? With 14 teams with an 18 game schedule?

it use to be 16 and I think some mid major conferences have a 20 game schedule but with 14 there is no way to do a true round robin

You know, Crossroads Classic, a preseason tourney, and a 26 game round robin B1G regular season... lol

The 2 teams I'm most afraid of in B1G tourney is Wisky and MSU. Hopefully someone will take care of them before we play em

I agree, I like them being on the other half of the bracket. If all the teams that are projected to win, do win. MSU and Wisconsin will still be on the other half.

@johnm_iu
In 15 seasons covered by kenpom, the team with weakest B1G schedule has won 10 titles, including 7 of 10 outright champs. #iubb (1/3)

Of 20 B1G title teams since 02, only 3 have done so with an above median B1G schedule. 2013 #iubb is the only outright champ to do so. (2/3)

In other words, ignore the bitter pricks trying to put an asterisk on your 2016 Big Ten Champion Indiana Hoosiers. #iubb (3/3)

Wow Didn't realize how special our outright championship was. Way to go Yogi and Crean. Not to mention all the guys who have moved on

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I am hoping we go to Iowa focused and prepared. I want us to take it to the Hawkeyes and win this thing Tuesday. I think versus Maryland we will be fine. Its Yogis last game in the Hall. He will be ready to lead to a victory on senior night.

I was reading their fan board. Many are expecting,a double digit loss. And, they are unhappy with Fran.

Well...I hadn't really devoted a lot of time to figuring it out, but, here is my Q&D schedule re-vamp...they currently play an 18 game BT conference schedule and they would have to play 26.  You take out the 4 cupcakes in December and then you only need to fit 4 more into the schedule.  So...bring all of the teams to Indy or Chicago after Thanksgiving and 3 three days straight and then you only have one game to fit in.  I am sure they could squeeze that in somewhere.

Send them over to our board.  If they think things are bad they can just look at our 4,500+ posts of sniping about whether Tom Crean should be fired.  That will be sure to perk them back up again.

I overheard the following conversation between two Purdue fans at work today:

 

Fan 1: "Hey, Boiler up!"

 

Fan 2: "Boiler up!"

 

Fan 1: "…but you know what we did, right?"

 

Fan 2: "Yeah…it sucks." 

 

Fan 1: "Oh well, just blame the schedule."

I would have lost interest at the first hey.

Maybe they will be happy if one day they get 22 legit championships.
