Well, they appear to not fading right now. It is a strange year, they are either really cold, or really hot. Right now, really hot.
I put stats together debunking that a couple years ago. I need to update that
Big Ten basketball ain’t no JV league. Anything can happen any night of the week
They shot their load back in West Lafayette.
You make a good point.
This is correct. Show up or get crushed. I was ready to go. IU was not
One huge thing that helps us is our record against the other 7 teams with 11 or 10 wins. We are 1-1 vs. MSU and 1-1 vs. NW. We are 7-0 against the other 5 teams which means we will win all, or nearly all tiebreakers. What kills us is the 2-5 record against the bottom 5 teams. 5-2 puts us at 14-5 and in sole possession of 1st place.
IKR. They just aren't fully aware of how open they are I don't think. Or else yeah just lay it in. It happens a fast as they are all moving they think someone is going to block them from behind.
I was joking with my buddy last night with like 10 mins to go we need to hurry up and just get out of there before the roof falls in. What a perfect game that was. I mean start to finish domination. How close did Indiana ever get it back to? They had a couple runs but each time we went on a bigger one to extend it out. Someone forgot to tell Fran that was a road game because they all played lights out. Wish we'd have made our FTs and not missed the front ends of 1 & 1s but that almost feels like nitpicking on a night like that.
Basketball at that level is just weird like that. Matchups/style of play has something to do with it. When you play who matters. Sometimes it just comes down to shooting. A lot of the time that's how it is with us and it's not too overly complicated. We hit shots and turn it into a track meet and good luck against us. When we don't literally anyone can beat us too (eastern IL)
With Purdue struggling down the stretch, it really made a conference championship possible if we could have played better against the bottom teams. I know most other teams could say this too, but it's pretty easy to find 3 more wins. All in all tho, this team really put together a good year so hard to complain much.
No,no,no. No Hoosier comeback because Woodson failed to corner a ref and give him the death stare. Or the I just ate too much stare or whatever it was.
If we beat nebraska, our odds of not getting a double bye are really slim. Northwestern is the only team we don't own the head to head tiebreaker with. But if we tie them, we can still win the tiebreaker if other teams tie as well. The more teams we tie with, the better our chances are to win the tiebreaker over Northwestern.
