Michigan at Nebraska Open Thread

Submitted by ijohnb on March 5th, 2017 at 7:32 PM

Too early? Probably, but let's get this show on the road. I wonder why Sunday at midnight struck the conference as a good tip time for this one? Long weekend waiting for this game. Go Blue. Let's lock up that bid.

It sucks when the game has already started and everyone is sitting around waiting for the thread to appear instead of starting one themselves.

So the field is pretty much set for next weekend? Northwestern the 6 seed, Michigan the 8 seed?

Bronson Koenig has hit about 5 threes this second half. Absolutely dominating Minnesota. The big ten is deep this year.

actually think the "bubble" teams (M, MSU, NW) could be the biggest threats for a deep run. Not Purdue, everybody forgets every year that Painter is the worst coach, perhaps of all time.

Eh, I wouldn't bank on any Big Ten team making a run. Michigan could but I want to see how they handle the BTT. Their play away from Crisler hasn't exactly been inspiring (yes, I know they dominated the 2K Classic). MSU is too small and too young and NW isn't ready to make a deep run in their first ever NCAA tournament. Still think Purdue has the best chance. Their combination of inside play and outside shooting is hard to stop.

This is not a deep league this year. You've got 2 good teams in Wisconsin and Purdue, and then everyone else is either mediocre or hot garbage.

No one in the Big Ten is even in the top 15. So the conference took a nosedive this year.

the contrary, I feel like that gives them the "breaking out of a slump" angle to play.

Yeah Nebraska got destroyed by Minnesota and MSU. I don't know why people are worried about this game. Lately they've been the worst team in the conference and worse than rutgers who got a win against illinois.

Donnal has lost his man twice and bobbled an easy pass that led to a turnover. Sigh.
