  1. Purdue-Nebraska tonight, I know many are saying something is off about the Boilers nevertheless, they'll have the best player on the floor in Braden Smith. Which gives the Boilers a chance. I like them tonight, Kaufman-Renn should have his way with an overrated Rink Mast, Smith will find him. Also appears Loyer is out of his shooting slump, if not, I like what Omer Mayer brings to the floor - decent shooter, more athletic than Loyer. And, of course, I'm worried about Wisconsin tonight in Champaign hopefully, we get a well played game from the Illini.
  2. Still believe the Boliers are right there with the Illini, it's Michigan, Illinois/Purdue, small gap, Michigan State, Iowa/Nebraska, rest of the Big Ten. Think Iowa is better than Nebraska, Stiritz is a pro-prospect, he's really good. Glad he's one and done at Iowa.
  3. Is just me or is Patriots receiver room not very good? The blocking difficulties not withstanding, I think a big part of Maye' problem last night was the lack of quality receivers. Looking at the statistics, Diggs had a big year, playoffs, against better competition, not so good.
  4. Same old horsefeathers from Izzo, don't mind the fouls calls on the Illini, most were legitimate calls. Do mind the officials swallowing their whistles on the other end. Fears tripping Mirkovic, later, grabbing him on a drive, Wagler repeatedly fouled on drives, MSU allowed to be more physical on rebounds, etc. Izzo defending Fears in the post game, what an ass.
  5. Oh well, still not too worried about MSU, they'll lose next Friday in Madison. Illini did not play well, missed a ton of open 3's and still had a chance. I'd like to see the Illini get another crack at them in the tournament.
  6. I saw the elbow, glad it didn't connect. I think it more egregious than the donkey kick. You could see the intent, he was trying to hurt the Minnesota player. That alone should have got him a game suspension.
  7. What nonsense are we going to see tonight from Izzo and company? Will they goon it up? How many bogus foul calls will Izzo coax out of tonight's crew? Just don't like the Illini' chances tonight, have a feeling it's going to be 8 on 5.
  8. Not defending this crappy FO however, it's kind of difficult when none of your tradable assets are worth a first-rounder.
  9. Underwood has work the officials, be on them pre-game, during the game, non-stop.
  10. Well, you know, the completion percentage thing. I'm certain next season, when Caleb and the Bears offense are going nuclear. The media and others will find something else to justify saying Nix, Penix and probably McCarthy are better.
  11. If Izzo really wanted to put a stop to this nonsense he'd suspend Fears himself. It's my belief that coaches bare the responsibility for these shenanigans, they know their players, this isn't anything new from Fears. Izzo not taking any action condones it, further encourages it, and we'll see it against the Illini on Saturday. I strongly suspect they're going to go full Pistons' Bad Boy on the Illini specifically, Wagler. Don't think it have much of an effect on the boys from the Balkans but, they're going to target Wagler.
  12. That re-direct assist by Tomislav Ivisic was a kick ass play, you could hear the disgust in Fred Hoiberg' voice during the post game PC. Loved his whining about Sandfort being held while they we're pounding the horsefeathers out of Wagler all day.
  13. This is pretty cool, exemplifying how the Illini surgically picked Nebraska apart - La Tulip on Illini-Nebraska
  14. TB's uniforms weren't bad either
  15. Was a good game, really like how MSU looks hopefully, they'll have a better tournament than last year. Your Lions are pretty good as well.
  16. Think the Big Ten' strategy vs. Wagler now is hack and grab, Washington did it, Nebraska certainly took that approach today. He shot 12 FT's today, should have been closer to 20, ended up with 28 pts, 5 helpers.
  17. I wonder if the regression monster is coming for Nebraska. They're a very good team, just don't think there top 10, final four type good.
  18. As the Australians* say, well horsefeathers me dead, the Illini dominated the boards and beat Nebraska! Hell yeah!!! *Couldn't find the tennis thread, was one of the nuts that got up at 4:00 to watch the men's final live and was pleased Alcarez won. There were some excellent rallies and shot making, think the grueling semifinal vs. Sinner caught up to DJokovic. After the initial push in the first set, his legs were finished.
  19. PTSD from 1984, start of the 1985 season and of course, 2003.
  20. It's probably the Cubs fan in me, waiting for the bottom to drop out, something else to go wrong, maybe, they're genuinely good and things won't blow up. Don't like their chances today, we'll see what happens.
  21. Morez-Johnson most definitely, Fears? Think I'm okay with Wagler.
  22. UMFan hope your Wolverines win tonight. Lost all respect for Izzo when he sent his goon out to punch Ayo in the face.
  23. Did Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers turn down invitations? Or, are they already on the AFC roster?
  24. Steinbach as well, he's taller and a better athlete, don't what he's doing at Washington. They're not going to make the tournament and Steinbach is one and done. Guessing he has a sweet NIL deal.
  25. The Huskies tried the physicality approach with Wagler and others, lots of bumping, hand checking, grabbing and pushing. It's the approach MSU is going to take, except MSU is far more capable offensively than Washington. Physicality may work on Wagler but, the Serbians, Mirkovic and the Ivisics, have experience with prison ball, they'll take it and give it back, I like that.
