Indy @ MSU and Iowa

[Seth53]

Always like to see Indy go down, but, have to cheer them on tonight.

Reasoning: Iowa needs the win @ Indy to make the dance, regardless of if we win out IMO. (Too weak of a non-conf schedule, and, blah league schedule the rest of the games). An Indy win tonight pushes their RPI and etc etc to the upper limit.


Indy wins, #1 in the nation...it all sets up to a "Hawkeye victory and we're in" game.

If Iowa wins out the "2:15" thread becomes a "look how close we came to winning the B1G" thread.

Vitale is so awful

 

[ssckelley]

Lol at his suggestion to increase the amount of fouls to 6 because the game has gotten so physical

Jock sniffer. You **never** saw him at at Big-10 game in the past. So when the league is super good this year, you can't keep him away.

On BTNs The Pulse the other night, they floated the idea of not having any maximum number of fouls (i.e. a player cannot foul out). However, once a player commits his 6th or beyond, the other team gets an automatic 2 shots, and, keep the ball. The player committing the foul can continue to play. Interesting.

Here is an idea, how about the coaches teach these players how to defend without fouling?

Because Ed Hightower is still officiating....

No kidding...he just gets worse every game he does of the Big Ten as well. Tonight he is just deplorable as I think he is actually sitting on Magic's lap.

I find Vitale getting worse because every game he does of a Big Ten team, their players are all professionals and nobody works harder than the home team, or an Izzo coached team.

Why do people think Derrick Nix is worth more than the toilet paper I flush down the toilet?
He is a weeble-wobble and a simpleton to defend...IU overplays his left hand and was giving a little help backside for an easy steal...pretty much to blueprint to defend him, can turn him over all the time if you are willing to give a little help when he has the ball. He is my most overrated player in the conference and was the most overrated player I have seen come into the Big Ten for some time after I watched him in HS and now four years on college.

Don't forget Ted Kennedy (Jim Burr) is still out there as well.

Was that the right call?

 

[tm3308]

Iowa doesn't have to beat Indiana to get in.

Since 1985, when the tournament expanded to 64 teams, only 7 times has a Big Ten team with 10 or more wins been left out. This is the strongest the conference has been in over a decade. 10 wins will be enough, especially with a win in the BTT.

 

[H8IAST8]

How was there no foul?

 

[H8IAST8]

What! Anther terrible call. That was offensive and they count the basket?

I know, this game is just horrible officiating-wise...wow

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

It's a crazy game for sure.

 

[ICHAWK]

Refs have lost control... Just awful calls all over the place

 

[eveningnewsteam]

I'm glad we go the nightly Jared sullinger tweet during an espn big 10 telecast.
