BT play...

[whoopdeedoo]

for those who have watched BT games.....any surprises? or, maybe changing your mind on a team's play so far?

 

hate to say it, but, iowa is playing better than i thought they would. getting good play from soph post czinano.

ohio state could be really really good if things start to come together.

I watched a bit of Rutgers yesterday, they played Towson and Towson gave them a game for three and half quarters.

true, but, rutgers has been showing more offense than i thought they would. believe they are averaging 70ppg. which is pretty high for them lol

Yes they are, and maybe Rutgers played down to the competition as well. I also watched a bit of them in the ACC challenge. They have a player that has blonde hair and is a big Afro in it looked like she had trouble seeing running down the floor.

jr arella guirantes------has earned BT player of the week twice now.

[whoopdeedoo]

according to Massey Ratings, huskers sitting at 39. i believe realtimerpi has them at 130? but, they still show usc as a loss. so much for that sight. 

 

looking at it this way, kinda glad 10 day "lay-off" before ORU. shouldn't have to worry about that "hangover high" from the Duke win. the Duke win should be behind them and really focus on ORU.

It should also get a couple players healed up as well.

I looked at the real time rpi site today, and it looks like we will play/ have played ten top 50 teams.

When the B1G league games start to filter in, the picture will start to clear up. Will be interesting to watch for sure. Right now it's anybody's guess...is everybody fairly good ?....

or is it chump change preseason schedules too.

 

Looking forward to see how we do this year...fully expect us to get our share of wins.  We will be a tough opponent for most everyone. Just get healthy and stay that way.

going to be an interesting BT season. hard to argue with Maryland, OSU, and Indiana leading the way. i just see a lot of parity with the rest. well, except for maybe PSU and Illinois. won't surprise me if they struggle thru BT play this season. almost wonder if Illinois coach will make it thru the season? PSU will be good again, just gonna take a season or two, imo. road wins are going to be tough, but, huskers are going to need to pull off a number of them if they want a shot at ncaa berth. i'm just expecting a lot of shuffling in the standings---especially the 5-12 spots. could be wrong, but, think it's looking that way. guess i am just saying, team(s) we might expect to finish near that top tier could very well finish well below.

i noticed realtimerpi has corrected nebraska's record to 8-1 and are sitting at an rpi of 85.

 

watched minny dismantle GW tuesday night on espn+ (btw, BTN+ should only charge $4.99/mo also) minny was practically hitting on all cylinders. freshman led the way with 23 points, 7 boards, 4 steals, 2 blocks, 2 assists. think she was 4 of 6 from 3pt land. they have so many 3 point shooters. had a 4 guard starting lineup (along with Bello).

We will see where that gets them in the B1G. four guards may not cut it in this league.

agree---teams with some length and athletic enough to guard the perimeter will most likely make it difficult for them. they also have a freshman guard who is lightning quick and handles the ball pretty well. she played towards the end. i think the only thing keeping her from minutes is her offensive production. should add minny seems to be able to get to the rim too. 

 

watched iowa-iowa st last night. i think it was a tough situation last night for iowa state. (if you didn't know, coach fennelly's father passed away the morning of the game). iowa state playing at home just didn't look like iowa state----although, joens is pretty good.
