College Basketball 14-15

[fiver]

Jesus, I wonder what it's like to have a team with players over 6'9' that can play basketball. Tell me again why Crean wasn't able to recruit a big man this past year and doesn't have one joining the team next season either?

And Michigan loses at home to Eastern Michigan. This is like Tommy Amaker style Michigan basketball. Oh and a game at Arizona on Saturday. Should be fun.

IU 8-11 from 3 lol

eh, the frontcourt is all freshman and oh, the 6'6 C

 

you were kidding yourself if you didn't expect a bumpy road for a while; that stupid McGary suspension was just so devastating

[Cubswin11]

Big Ten [expletive] sucks

The near win against Nova and the victories against Syracuse and Oregon raised my expectations a bit. Now I have no idea what to think.

Illinois looks like they're gonna be a pretty good team.

gotta get some offense from Cosby and Starks for that to happen... not that they won't, it just hasn't been there the last few games

[snoodmonger]

If Josh Smith could lose 40 pounds he'd be so good. I feel bad for him. For whatever reason he can't get his weight in order, and that's killed his NBA prospects.

Nebraska lost to Incarnate Word tonight

I thought you made that up for hyperbolic effect, but LOLOLOLOL

So the Big Ten wins the ACC challenge and then loses to all of these weird schools?

Meanwhile the football conference sent a team to the playoff. What a strange world we live in

[Thed Hoyerstein]

is the big ten really that good outside of wisconsin and michigan state?

I don't think Michigan State is good enough to be singled out like that, and I also don't see Wisconsin as the obvious best team in the league. If Iowa's defense stays as strong as it has been, they'll be near the top if they can also find a way to score 70 consistently. I think Minnesota and Illinois will have fairly good years. Maryland will be in that upper tier. I could see most of the league finish within a couple games of 500. I haven't really seen as many games as I have wanted to yet so I very well could be full of [expletive].

[Cubswin11]

I think it's pretty bad all around, Wisconsin is the clear best and I'd be shocked if they lose more than 3 conference games, but even they are a clear step or two below the top national teams.

Outside of Wisconsin? No.

bryce dejean-jones arrested for "hosting a drug house."

 

cops called to his apartment for noise complaints. apparently they had been there 5+ times for noise and had worked with the bball staff to establish a system where the other residents would text him if the noise was loud. apparently this system failed last night and cops show up. they smell weed, go get a warrant, come back and find a small amount on a dresser. sounds like they just found something to charge him with since he was being a dick.

 

day before iowa game. fun.

[hawkeyecub]

Suspended for tomorrow night.

 

Most amusing part to me is that the cops were called 12 times, went there 5 times and met with him and Fred rather than ever ticketing him before. The Mayor knows how to keep all his [expletive] under wraps. Somehow people will still believe that the guys who were total problems in previous spots just changed their ways overnight when they get to Ames.

[abuck1220]

yeah, a noise violation...he's a real menace to society.

 

don't be that kind of iowa fan.

[hawkeyecub]

Hey, strawman! When did I say he's a menace to society? Don't be that kind of ISU fan.

 

It's a pretty clear pattern of just being a dick. I'm not even saying that deserves a suspension. I'd rather he not be suspended so if Iowa wins it doesn't have to come with that disclaimer.

 

UNLV suspended him for the last game and didn't want him back because of issues he had with teammates and failed drug tests according to UNLV fans. Do you really think White, Lucious and the other guys who came to ISU after being dismissed from their previous programs just flipped a switch?

 

The admission that the cops call Fred and meet with him and the player after being called 12 times and going there 9 times rather than just give him a ticket provides a pretty clear look at how he runs the show in Ames.

[SouthSideRyan]

"I'm not even saying that!"

 

*goes on to say that*

[abuck1220]

yeah, nobody has ever beat a dreaded noise violation rap without fred hoiberg pulling a few strings.

 

you're acting like hoiberg helped him skate a murder charge. I would venture to guess that a pretty high percentage of instances where the cops are called about noise on a college campus do NOT result in an arrest, regardless of whether fred hoiberg is involved.

[abuck1220]

i will agree that it sounds like BDJ was a dick.

 

also, the guy who called the cops (and had called the cops the previous million times) inexplicably gave an interview to the student paper in which he proudly provided his name. um not a good decision.

[SouthSideRyan]

Regardless, I'm sure we can all agree that nobody cares about either of these teams.
