College Basketball 2015-16

[raw]

IU is an Ohio State home win tomorrow away from at least a share of the Big Ten title. Pretty good year with the 2nd best player missing most of it.

 

Going to be the 2nd time in school history, the men's and women's basketball teams and football team go to the postseason in the same school year.

KU with at least a share of its 12th straight conference title. Pretty crazy. Hopefully we can do a deep run in the tourney this year, too, but honestly, I feel like this year anything can happen (from 1st round exit to win it all.)

Time to start figuring out all the tiebreakers for seeding in the Big Ten tourney. Total logjam from 3rd-8th place

Iowa has to have the biggest group of chokers in sports history. Between blowing late big leads and end of season collapses this is ridiculous.

Please keep it going next weekend. Michigan needs to win that so badly

Frankie's son is staying home. I know it doesn't mean a ton, but thank god I don't have to watch a legacy kid play for IU or KU.

If Iowa somehow loses against Indiana and Michigan...high level compare their resume w Michigans

 

Iowa - 20-10 (11-7) Top 50 wins over Wichita St, MSU, Purdue, @ MSU, @ Purdue

Michigan - 21-10 (11-7) Top 50 wins over Texas, Maryland, Purdue, Iowa

 

Iowa's resume is still better, but it's a lot closer than you'd think

(and of course this is presuming 2 more losses for Iowa which is still a big stretch)

getting to play their first two games in des moines was right in iowa's lap. can't believe they might blow it.

Yay!

 

But I would strongly hesitate before calling Blackmon IU's second best player. Defense matters and he's a zero there.

Share of conference title is likely gone. Top 2 seed pretty much gone and trip to Des Moines possibly gone. I really have no idea how they've pulled off two collapses like this in three years.

That Kansas-Texas game was quite the barn burner last night.

[UMFan83]

Caris Levert officially out for the rest of the season, and thus his college career at Michigan

 

He was able to play in just 8 of 39 conference games over the last 2 seasons (minimum with 1 BTT game this year), finishing 6 of them. What a damn shame.

[sneakypower]

poor kid, his last 2 seasons have been a never-ending gut punch

 

now watch him get Rashard Lewis'd in the draft

[SouthSideRyan]

Starting to think my 200:1 bet on Michigan winning it all isn't going to pay off.

Wow. Iowa is getting murdered at home on senior night.

This feels like what it would have been like if the bad part of the 2003 NLCS lasted for two weeks.

For the love of all that's holy don't let that animal cut down your nets.

I'm happy Lickliter doesn't coach Iowa anymore but damn I wish we could close a game/season. Maybe we'll pull a tournament run out of our ass...

[bcl412]

Oh God. I really hope the Cubs end up as awesome as advertised.

I really can't believe IU is 14-3 and outright champions. I mean, I've watched the games and I know it has happened. It still seems unreal, given how things were looking in November and early December. I was ready to leave this team for dead when they were getting worked by Notre Dame in Indy. They turned it around in that game and it has been a totally different team ever since, let alone taking into account Jb2 going down.

Yeah, pretty remarkable. Best coaching job Crean has done at IU. Really happy for Yogi. IU has gotten all out of him we could have hoped for. Comes in as a freshman as the missing piece to a great team. Then will end as the leader of a conference championship team and possible B1G player of the year. Last time a Hoosier was on 2 outright conference championship teams was Matt Nover in 1989 and 1993.

 

Sunday vs. Maryland is a chance to go out on Senior night for the 1st time in school history with the men's and women's teams going undefeated in Assembly Hall.

[Rex Buckingham]

No way Yogi should be B1G POY, Valentine is just better even though Yogi has been great

[Exile on Waveland]

Big Ten Champs!

He's likely saved Groce's job for the time being. He gives him another year with hill, nunn, jcl, and f8nke to see what can happen.
