IUFLA Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Minny takes down Ohio State in Columbus... Maybe every team is going to finish 10-10 in the league... Let's see them seed that for the BTT? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, if we finish 10-10 we are easily in the tournament and that means finishing the season winning 9 of the next 15. We would all call that salvaging the season, with X and Race out indefinitely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more wishful thinking that we could get to anywhere close 9-11 the way we have been playing, but in the scenario with the current trend holding up in the conference where anyone can just about beat anyone and most most teams finish between 11-9 and 9-11, 9-11 could still mean last place.

That would be wild and I would love it. Honestly it would take a miracle for this team to finish 9-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 The bad news is we are tied for last place in the conference now but the good news is the entire league is packed tightly like of can of sardines right now. Need to find a way to get a W against the filthy Badgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceDouglas Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Seems like just about every B1G team has some real ups and downs this season except for Purdue. Really thought Ohio St was looking good as a likely #2 team now they've lost 3 in a row including a baffling home loss to MN. Terrible call on what was a clean block at the end, but some karma for their win over Rutgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the league is perceived to be down, Purdue and Wisconsin are almost always near the top. This is the weakest the league has been in a long time, and who are the only currently ranked teams? Purdue and Wisconsin. Edited January 13, 2023 by TheWatShot 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue and Wisconsin. Rivalry aside, I actually don't mind Purdue's style of basketball. It's more pleasant and entertaining than Wisconsin's, which feels like a task when watching. Rutgers, Northwestern are other teams that have a traditional bias of "ugly" basketball. The perception of the league is down because the 'exciting' style of play isn't translating into wins. IU needs to be high flying and sharp; same with OSU, the Michigan duo and Illinois. Obviously outside of MSU, the others are all stuck in the mud right now.

Seeking6 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Honestly my 2nd time watching Illini this year. Just getting a look for when we see them next week. I'm seeing a ton of iso sets without iso personnel for them. Sparty is just going to the rim. In a weird way I think we want Illinois to win to make the Big all bunched up until we get healthy but I like our matchup vs Illinois next week.
