Ed played 4 minutes for Marquette. Bad feet or was transferring to a school with 5 post players a bad idea?

Maybe he can grad transfer to someplace like Northern Illinois and become the next Shaq of the MAC.

The Bluejays Blueit.

[Red Don]

Whew!  Ohio State Pulls it out, Wins  69-60, despite come back by Creighton in the 2nd half.  Ohio State ends on a 13-0 run; Kramplj fouls out with 2 mins left.

 

Guarantees the B1G it's first Championship in the Gavitt Games Series.  (Series has resulted in 4-4 ties since inception)

Eaaaasy money.

Bluejays were on cruise control until Holtmann started having his guys switch everything on defense with about 2:30 left down 60-56.  After that point Ohio State finishes on a 13-0 run.  For the most part though, it seemed like a pretty pedestrian effort from the Buckeyes.  I expected them to win running away.

 

Either way, good for the B1G, getting the first series win in Gavitt Games history!

 

Penn State getting off to a great start in the nightcap.

I would prefer we not kill Creighton on this thread.  Basketball is so much harder when you can't properly "acquire" talent so lets cut them some slack.

He must have forgotten that the refs are putting an emphasis on looking out for the hook and hold even though he was just standing there.

... not really part of this but looks like Iowa learned to play defense in the offseason (39-28 over #14 Oregon at half).

 

Been a pretty good week for b1g basketball so far.... 

[khoock]

I forgot Paul White plays for Oregon. Wasnt he like a done deal to Nebraska until a last minute switch up??

 

Will go ahead and say we got the better of the two 6'9 F transfers from Georgetown!

DePaul was picked to win the Big East right?

PSU lays an egg in OT at DePaul. 5-2 with a likely Rutgers loss tomorrow.

No, they were picked last. 

[Red Don]

Like the Illinois Game, Penn State had their chances, but just couldn't make the play at the end!

Sorry... I am not good at sarcasm.  But that was completely sarcastic.

Well, I admit I would never think of associating you with sarcasm. Definitely want to consider using the font.

underrated comment.  Give this guy some up arrows people come on!!

Good thing the B1G didn't need RU to come through ... because they're not very good.

RU apparently didn't get the memo that B1G teams are all supposed to show vast improvement this season over last season.

Really... another pretty good night overall for the Big 10.  Really good win by Iowa and a pretty good win by Purdue.  Not going to lie.  The Big 10 will be a grinder this year.  We may get 7-9 teams in this year.

Not just may, but likely. In fact, Bart Torvik shows 8 bids and 9 bids are the two most likely scenarios. There is a 91% chance that the Big Ten gets between 7 and 10 bids. Getting 9 or 10 bids would be extremely impressive.

Illinois had a tough draw. PSU totally blew it. They had no business losing to DePaul anywhere. 

Rutgers is, well, Rutgers. 

 

By and large, B1G did well, as our only stumbles were at the bottom of the conference. Everyone else middling on up did their jobs with a vengeance. All in all, a success.
