I may be stuck at work, but I'm here for the Pos!
Expect some heat from RCMB!
Now let's go Blue and take care of business!
Pretty damn sweet week so far - UM snags a gritty win against Purdue, while ohio and stae goes down against Penn State and Illinois. Now please continue this sweetness against Minny.
Let's not get carpet bombed in the 1st ten minutes of this upcoming game first.

I thought with Dawson back they were going to run shit?!
Well they just need time to gel you guys. About two months and they should be good to go.
Checked the score as soon as I got home and yelled "YESSS!!!"
Fantastic avatar!!
BOOM BOOM POSBANG! BOOM BOOM POSBANG! BOOM BOOM POSBANG! BOOM BOOM POSBANG! BOOM BOOM POSBANG!
Glad it was a team that I don't care about that beat MSU. I hate rooting for teams I hate to beat other teams I hate.
looked like they just assumed that Illinois would cave there in the second half. Seemed surprised when it didn't happen.
Time to close the deal, boys!
got nuthin' on Izzo!!!
Get that man some figure skates!
I'm really happy for you guys. But does anyone really care about pre-conference tournament titles?
More than they care about preseason rankings, at least.
teams really do, more so than the conference tourney. B1G was one of the last conferences to not have a post-season tourney. (Ivy still does this; kudos but they don't need that money.)
ACC has been playing theirs since the '50s and has used it to determine their champion since the early '60s. B1G first had the conference tourney in '98.
I don't have many MGoPoints, and what with the way the new point system works, I've always managed to resist the impulse to neg people, even when they deserve it. But you, sir, have earned my first ever downvote. Congratulations.
I care about the regular season title much more than the conference tournament title - and I think that goes for most every college basketball fan. Much more meaningful to win the regular season than a tournament title where few teams have anything significant to play for
This is impossibly dumb. Yes?
This means EVERYTHING.
Especially in a conference like the Big Ten, where you need to bring it every night.
It takes so much work and effort to make it through the whole season and be the last team standing at the top - to me it is clearly the most important accomplishment besides winning the whole tournament.
It is the representation of multiple sustained months of excellence.
This is an enormous accomplishment.
Your post is pure crazy.
Meh, think what you want, but a lot of brain trust around the country feels like winning the regular season conference is not a need. The goal is cushioning your seeding in the actual only tournament that matters and then winning that tournament.
The coach at Pitino's in-state rival was willing to take things a step further. "I've never been big on conference championships," Kentucky coach John Calipari said after the Wildcats' 84-70 win at Ole Miss. "Every game we play is to prepare us for March." It's a sentiment — and to be fair, Pitino has always harped on the importance of conference tournaments while Calipari has not — echoed by more coaches than just those inside the Bluegrass State.
PS: Don't let the avatar fool you or blind fold you with hatred in assuming my question was full of malice. I said I was happy for you. The question pertaining to regular season was serious.
...and then quote John Calipari as a representative, you have lost credibility.
I smell burning rubber...
We need this tonight and another B10 Banner up in Crisler.
I mean, serious question.
