B1G needs two wins...

for the challenge title. GT is up on Illinois with the half winding down, BC and PSU is early, as is OSU and Duke.

I'm not exactly sure why we want to win the challenge enough to root for OSU though. Then again, the alternative is Duke. I guess I'd rather just keep my mind off such things.

I don't

 know who to effing root for either, man this is a really tough one.

well I guess I'll root for ohio cause the B1G needs it so that people don't say we're an over rated conference and I hate Duke for like ever for some damn reason.

Not impressed by Amir Williams at all, and to think I was upset he didn't go to U-M, whew, I guess Beilein truly is a better talent evaluator than myself and most others reading this.

 

M & Indiana are 2 best teams in conf. and it reminds me of the 70's & 80's and even early 90's

Was really surprised that Virgina beat Wisco in Madison. Usually Wisco is unbeatable there and Virginia did not make it to MSG in the NIT Tip-off.

Also did not except MSU to blow it in Coral Cables.

That stretch is gonna take a lot out of a team mentally and physically. Duke is just never in the right place and Ohio is just dictating the game completely. The only downside is a lot of fouls on Ohio. Don't know if Duke can make them pay though.

Osu looks better than I expected. I agree with their top 5/10 status. Thomas has been on the bench since the 10 minute mark and they have kept up their lead.

Two observations:

1. Mason Plumlee reminds me of Ivan Drago.

2. Ohio's defense looks awesome.

Conclusions:

1. I can't root for Duke because I can't root for a Communist.

2. Ohio scares me because they look like the long and lean team that will give us fits.

Conversely, shouldn't our offense scare them because we have the perimeter shooting that could give them fits.? It doesn't seem like Duke is comfortably at all shooting from the edge and needs everything to go through their bigs. Ohio is keeping them from penetrating with the gourds and the O collapsed.

I know I'm biased but I think

I know I'm biased but I think our offense can score on anyone. But, it was a bit disconcerting seeing us struggle against the pressure at the end of the NC State game. Ohio is athletic enough to bring that for the whole game

Michigan Offense

I'm not gonna lie, Michigan offense looks very good and their is only on Craft. Hardaway and Burke are gonna be deep threats but the key for Michigan is the development of Mitch Mcgary #4. He's got a lot of growing to do but I'll be looking for Michigan's frontcourt development throughout the year. Michigan has a very legit team!

Hopeless plea

Can we please, for the love of god, call them Ohio State in basketball?  There's an actual quality basketball program named "Ohio" (who, you might remember, we played last year), and it's just really, really stupid in this context.

If I could vote this up or give you a 5 I would. In that case go Penn State, OSU and Illinois. Make sure we don't get Maryland. Eliminate change and keep the Big Ten the same!

ACC vs. B1G

ACC: 6 

B1G: 6 

This tie is all on Michigan State and Wisconsin. No one, not even I expected OSU to win against Duke and they played a good game minus Craft  ill performance but MSU losing to Miami and Virginia winning in the Kohl Center blows my mind. The B1G is still the cream of the crop! 

Ok Michigan fans, salivate in Ohio State defeat for the night...

I gotta give you credit BME

you seem like a good guy, tough loss for you guys, played well but Craft killed you there, how concerned are you about his lack of Offense at times and then missing FT's, surprising, that

 

Also, good call on Sparty & Wiscy, them fools blew it for the B1G, MSU in particular just might be starting to wane under Izzo, they don't play as solid as they used to.

Very Concerned

Aaron plays very solid defense any one can admit that but his offensive numbers are not where they need to be. With most of our offense leaving (Buford and Sully) we need him to step up and at least get 12-15 a night and dish the ball well too. Aaron also needs to learn how to take well advised shot and exercise good judgement. Part of his play last year was the reason we lost in the final four to Kansas. I'm just hoping games like this will make him better once Big Ten play starts. 

Sidenote: Ohio State needs to find some more scores besides Thomas and Aaron. They can't do it alone. Bummer game but you live and learn.

IU blew out UNC, a pretty good squad by 20+.  They had some close games when Zeller was sick, but won them all.  Duke was fortunate that Ohio shot about 35% for the game, and Croft played his worst game of the year.  I understand the argument that IU has more wins against good teams, but that is an accident of the scheduling, and does anyone who has seen both teams play really think that Duke should be ranked ahead of IU?  I firmly do not.

I had this thought yesterday

I had this thought yesterday while watching this game. I remember McGary having a duke offer yesterday and then was curious about duke's big men that have had similar recruiting profiles to him and how long they have been at duke.

Ryan Kelly was # 20 overall in his class. He is a senior now with his role/minutes increasing steadily after not playing much as a freshman, but he plays the 4 so the style of play comparision may not fit as well.

Mason Plumlee was #55 overall in his class. He is also a senior now with his role/minutes increasing every year, though not as greatly as kelly. 

14.1mpg, 46%fg, 3.1rb, 3.7pts

McGary was #30 overall in his class. His minutes so far more closely mirror Plumlee's and he also plays the 5 as plumlee did so I think he is the better comparison.

14.3mpg, 60.9%fg, 5.7rb, 5.5pts

Overall, I just thought it was interesting but the takeaways are that people need to give McGary time...he is only 6 games into his ncaa career and has shown promise. His stats so far compare favorably to a likely 1st round draft pick at the same timepoint in his career. I am very excited by what he has done so far and think he has barely scratched his surface.
