Big Ten Tournament

[brfrad]

The worst part of Iowa probably is winning is that I have to watch Luka Garza again.  My level of hate for him has no bounds. 

[colhusker]

Iowa with a season worth of FT in one game.

[brfrad]

We win in Champaign if the refs call fouls the same way they did in this game tonight.

[jdw]

I have heard of grinning from ear to ear but Garza has eyebrows from ear to ear.

This Minnesota/Rutgers 10-8 game at the 11 minute mark is probably the reason why tickets on a Wednesday night are only $3. Can it be Friday yet?

[Jugular]

I think Iowa will beat Michigan. Iowa can score it as good as anyone and they are playing well

wow, Rutgers laying into Minny. That gopher bench is a sad looking bunch.

Jordan Murphy settles for WAY to many jumpers... With Mason & Lynch both gone next year I wonder if he'll declare for the NBA?

iowa is better than their record, but michigan is still the better team. it should be a close game if iowa plays like they did today.

[HuskerFever]

The crowd is chanting "LET - THEM - PLAY" during this Rutgers/Minnesota game around the 13 minute mark in the 2nd half.

Iowa struggles to defend the 3.  Michigan shoots the 3 well.  Illinois is one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the Big 10.  They shot nearly 50 %. Iowa won the game at the free throw line.  I think Michigan wins.

Michigan is on a roll and Iowa does not defend.  Michigan, and we had better play a very good game to defeat them.

I’d take Michigan in 2OT

That sounds like a Lee Corso pick!

Second Round Point Spreads

• Maryland -2.5 vs Wisconsin
• Michigan -9 vs Iowa
• Penn St -5.5 vs Northwestern
• Indiana -6 vs Rutgers

Definitely like Wisky & PSU, even though it doesn't sound like Watkins will play, as NW and Md have been struggling down the stretch.

 

Not as sure on the other 2 games. Leaning toward Indiana and giving the points and maybe Iowa getting points but Michigan to win outright. 

 

It happens every year - a couple of the teams/underdogs that have already played on the neutral floor at the tournament get off to a fast start and a big lead against a team that had the bye(s) and is playing its first game of the tournament - could see Iowa doing that tonight before UM takes control.

 

Hopefully that doesn't happen to us Friday - very important to start strongly in this type of environment with so much on the line.

Represent, Husker fans in NYC (.... whoever you are!).

Hope this doesn't affect games.

Didn't even notice that.

Here's to Iowa and Mich playing a 4 OT game.

[B-town hoopsfan]

Iowa is an attacking gaurd away from being good next year. Garza is gonna cause pple fits for a lot of years it looks like.

[hskr4life]

I looked at some data and future casts, and the more I look, the rougher it looks weather wise tomorrow for MSG.  Will they/can they postpone the tournament?  If the games go on, expect a very sparse crowd.

I agree. I thought all year they were lacking a Peter Jok.

So a few thoughts about the tournament intro...

 

1.  The guy who is narrating sounds more like he is from Boston than NY.

 

2.  The whole thing was just like.... uhhhh ok.

 

3.  Palmer's three for the win against Illinois got in there.  Loved watching that!
