If Gonzaga doesn't beat UK next week, they'll need to win the WCCT to get a bid. Would be the first time they don't make it since 1998.

I will say it again. Purdue without edey would be fighting to stay out of the cellar.

Theyd be better than that. But you are right they would not be very good.

Its why I laughed at a lot of the Braden Smith cousy comments this week..

Kid is really good and should have been in the final 10. But a lot of people were acting like hes top 3 PG's in the country.

Imagine Stevens, Newton, Kolek or Buie playing with Edey
 

I’m watching Purdue vs Wisconsin and I realized the Gophers haven’t had a regular season game on CBS in a long time. Does anyone know when the last time we had one was?

With any one of them Edey would touch the ball a lot less.
 







College kids just make such stupid decisions. Purdue looks like Minnesota out there with dumbass fouls and inbounding mistakes.

It may be recency bias, but I’m settling in on Gard and Collins being the biggest whiners in the league. Neither one them believes his players ever commit a foul or misses a shot if not fouled.

The Wisconsin fans are just as bad. The reaction to the loyer non call is justified, however.

I think Collins is worse.

I get why Gard was screaming a bunch at the end. I think the calls ended up being right but they were close.
 

I would honestly press most teams all game long. I haven't seen a team be able to handle pressure in the last ten years.

Regular season it's been a remarkably long time. I agree with the above post I think 2011 against Purdue. It was right after Al Nolen broke his foot and poor Blake Hoffarber was trying to play PG.

I recall my local CBS preempted it for an ACC game and I had to perform antenna hyjinks to pull it in from another market. It's important to recall when you're frustrated over which app the game is on tonight and pining for the good old days. At least you don't have to climb up on the roof.

Gard has some issues knowing the rules. Wasn’t that part of Howard taking a poke at him? 😂

Iowa and Wisconsin coaches have a lot of trouble understanding the more arcane rules of their sport.

Izzo at the top, no question. Always had a conference with refs. Constantly.
 

I did not have Nebraska hanging with Illinois at the Illini at all.

Nebraska up 36-34 at half, leading almost the entire half.

Good Lawd…Illinois was up 10 with 3:29 left in the game, Nebraska goes on an 11-1 run, and Illinois gets 1 from Domask (89% FT shooter), and he misses the 2nd one with 3 seconds left.

OT on B10 network

Illinois chokes a 10 point lead with 3:30 left against Nebraska. Headed to OT.
 

Nebraska/Illinois just underscoring how the Big Ten has a lot of teams with very little separation between them. Thankfully we are right in the thick of that grouping as well this year.
