I can't wait for that Wednesday evening BTT game sometime down the road between Rutgers and Washington at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas.

Probably a very entertaining game for those not invested in who wins. Collins is a good coach and made some nice adjustments from the first meeting. Brad....not so much. Boo is tough and kills us just like his brother used to do at Penn St. On to the next....

No, actually it refutes what you're saying in comparison to the P12 and ACC which again are well below the B1G. Whether you want to compare the top teams or the entire league. Has been the case for quite a few seasons now. ACC has UNC and Duke and then....not much. P12 has Arizona. Unfortunately several of their dregs will be in the B1G next year.

https://bracketologists.com/conferences/ The Big Ten has 4 in the top 25. SEC has 4. Big East 3. ACC has 2 P12 has 2 Others like T-Rank have a similar order for conferences

P12 and ACC are way below the Big Ten. Big Ten is in the group with the SEC and Big East behind the B12.

Coleman's been great and pretty consistent this year. Should be B1G DPOTY but Edey will probably win it. The defensive efficiency numbers with/without him are ridiculous. And he's limited his 30' heat check 3 pointers to 1 per game. 🤣 What's up with Ware, injury? Illini should have freshman big man Amani Hansberry back, he's dressing for Wednesday's game after missing a couple of weeks with back spasms. Fits the system better than Dainja but not sure he'll play much.

Yeah I'm sure the reaction was more about having him back vs some kind of show of "support". On TV (and from what people who were there told me) it didn't sound like some huge reaction. And people who were not cheering or even booing wouldn't be heard obviously. I'm not going to judge people how they want to react to the situation. And I'm not one to judge people off which school team they cheer for, my take is that people are people and most react the same give the same circumstances. YMMV.

Yeah, some good ones to go back and laugh about. Very flawed! 🤣 😂 Even the recruiting takes were gold! 🤣 Or not Funny thing after the Rutgers game they asked Guerrier if being older helped him deal with Brad yelling at him. His answer was that "Boeheim was much worse". 😂

There's mixed feelings on this for sure, but not really sure what you expected, some kind of mass shunning? Whether it proves wrong or not, there's definitely a feeling within the program and DIA that the charges are not valid but until there's resolution the questions will remain. And the truth is we may never find out what actually happened. I've also noticed the team social media accounts have been avoiding any mention of him. If he has a big game at some point, it'll be even more obvious. I will say this, if he's guilty then Shannon is some kind of true sociopath by the way he's acted throughout this ordeal. Playing at an All-America level, then suing the school to get back on the court? Undoubtedly there are probably many cases where people have done stuff like this but it would be way out of character.

OK, that was probably my error is remembering exactly what Doyel said. Thanks for the background, explains quite a bit IMO.

She's mad because he's not playing. Least surprising event ever.

Like I said, it's a moot point because he's going to play. And I've heard he may be planning to sue the school anyway, so....?

Was listening to Greg Doyle from the Indy Star and he mentioned how Woodson had hired Matta to help him out as a resource on the college game. He obviously moved on to Coach Butler, is that part of the problem? Was he ever replaced with another guy with more of a college background?

Well it wouldn't be the coach but the school. The court ruled the school had denied him due process which was causing him irreparable harm (NIL/NBA chances) by not being allowed to play. So not playing him would be effectively furthering that "harm". Anyway, he's going to play because they think the allegations are flimsy at best.

Of course he will. Unless he wants to piss off a federal judge and lose another lawsuit.

Very surprised at this ruling.

Rodney Terry tells Tim Anderson, "hold my beer"

The main problem is they have to change everything on defense when he's playing. With Hawkins at the 5, they can swtich everything on screens. When Dainja's in there they have to play drop coverage and he really struggles. So he does add some offensive firepower but gives a lot of it back on the other end. Dain's a fan favorite because he's a likeable dude and Coleman...well...he tries fans patience with the constant complaining and terrible body language. But he's been great this season except for yesterday. The only thing I've read is Reese was yapping at the Krush but that doesn't justify Anderson acting like a child.

Dainja wasn't the answer, the problem was with the ball screen defense and continuing to let Young go to his strong hand instead of forcing him right. And constantly going over screens against a team that struggles to make 3s. Hawkins getting in foul trouble was a problem. Also the refs declined to call what would have been a 2nd foul on Reese when he landed on top of Danja after a pump fake. Ref told Brad there was no contact which is hilarious if you watch the replay. The 2nd half shooting was definitely a "what was that" moment with 9-40 shooting, 1-14 from 3. And on the night, 9 for 23 on layups. But the lack of changes on D was more troubling. No blitzing the screens, not much of an attempt at post traps, etc.

No, because they beat us repeatedly! Like Brad can't figure it out! 😡 But seriously, I've always hated conference expansion. Maryland belongs in the ACC regardless of their hoops results against us. Their terrible fans should be taunting Jon Scheyer! Rutgers belongs in....dunno, the A10? Patriot League? West coast teams should be playing other west coast teams.

I'll say it again, Maryland and Rutgers should not be in the Big Ten. That was one of the worst efforts I can remember. 🤮

T-Rank has it the same with a much bigger gap https://barttorvik.com/trank.php#
