IUFLA Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: Maybe it's just me or maybe I don't close enough attention to other teams but I don't recall a top 20 team losing by 25 once a week like Minnesota does.....or in some cases winning by 25 like they did vs Sparty. Seems to suggest they are on or off each game. No middle ground...which back to my point you would think top 20 teams would be more consistent. Like I said, I think it has to do with Williams Arena... For years players have been saying that it's a tough place to shoot because of the sightlines...Kinda like shooting in the old domes during the tournament...The Gophers are use to it, so they have a distinct home court advantage... Get them on the road they are a pedestrian team at best... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me curious so I looked it up.Ā All-time(from what I found) the Gophers are 856-331 at the Barn.Ā Translates to a .721 winning %. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My curiosity got me searching as well. They've had 3 Big 10 seasons with better than .500 record since 2000. Pair that tidbit with your .721 winning %.....I realize a chunk of the .721 are probably preseason but still. Huge variance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 6 hours ago, IU Scott said: Don't see many teams get outscored 53-13 in the second half Per CBS Sports... Ā That was on full display during a historic second half. Illinois (9-3, 5-1 Big Ten) outscored Northwestern 53-13 after it trailed by 15 at the break. The Illini limited the Wildcats to just two field goals and forced nine turnovers in the final 20 minutes of their biggest victory at Northwestern since a 63-30 blowout on Feb. 19, 2000. Ā Ā Ā According to STATS, Illinois became the first team to outscore a major conference opponent by at least 40 points in a single half since Kentucky outscored Vanderbilt by 43 in the second half of a 106-44 win on March 5, 2003. The Illini are the only Division I team in the last 25 seasons to trail by at least 15 points at halftime and come back to win by 20 or more.

IU Scott Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 An offensive explosion is happening in the MSU and PU game.Ā At the under 4 timeout MSU is up 24-16.Ā Purdue had scored 8 points in the last 3 minutes, after scoring 8 points in the first 14 minutes.Ā I don't remember so many possessions going all the way to the expiration of the shot clock.Ā Watching old games with a 45 second clock you did not see the clock mention very often.

IU Scott Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Between the refs and the constant subbing by coaches it just makes these games have no flow to them. Edited January 9, 2021 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Donāt look now but I think Purdue is going to win this one. Michigan st is not that good this year. They should be a mid pack B1G team this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
