Someone on a previous message board had a long post that was very enlightening about how the Big Ten is a research based university conference (if I remember) and they won’t just add and subtract teams based solely on athletics. The person explained the depth of all of this but that it’s never going to come down to just “that team is good at sports so let’s add them to The Big.” There are academic standards and philosophy standards that might not ever be budged upon.

I’m sure someone else can fill that info gap in A lot better than I can. But I remember learning a ton from that poster’s posts.

I guess I don't understand what you mean?

Texas OWNS the Big 12 and will expect to own any conference they step into. The Big Ten would never cater to their demands and ego, nor should they, and Texas would know that. Texas makes more money for themselves and has about a bigger budget than the entire rest of the Big 12 combined I’ve heard. I’ve also heard they don’t even divide up the ratings evenly in the conference from their TV network because texas demands a MUCH larger chunk than anyone and they’ll get it because if they did their own dang TV NETWORK, they could make money and it would kill the Big 12’s network.

texas is a Beast

Seriously impressive, I always thought Bryant had a future in the league.

As a side note, I had no idea that Vic shot 60% from the field his junior year.  That is insane.

Vic’s is Absolutely ridiculous for a wing or a guard!Absolutely ridiculous for a wing or a guard!

It will be Greek Freak. Best record etc. Harden's streak has been pretty amazing on pure scoring, but it's also been a team that has just turned the ball over to him and had him be the offense, as in almost the entire offense. Then there's his lousy D. I'd pick G. I might've picked PG earlier but his scoring and the Thunder's record have gone down, while the Thunder went through the most difficult schedule in the League over the last quarter season. 

I know I’m tainted as a Bucks fan but this is how I see it also. It seems like now a days people don’t even look at defense. I always remember that being s legit part of the equation for determining how good a player was. I mean that is HALF of your job in the game of basketball. 

Giannis or James Harden for MVP boys? What’s your pick? Who deserves it?

Bucks look great. Playoffs are a different animal in the NBA, will be interesting to see how they do, their youth could be an issue along with the slow-down half-court bang in the playoffs, but they are definitely playing great ball at this point.

I am also holding my breath. The only subtle confidence I have is that they don’t seem to carry themselves as “youthful.” I can’t remember a time when such a young team seems to NEVER get too high or too low. When any of them make great plays they simply run down court high five and are zoned in on Defense. There’s very little “flash” or “swag” about them. They just go to work. That’s the part that excites me.

Bucks with another win. Almost have home court clinched through playoffs.

Hey you NBA guru’s...

will that shooter from wofford have a shot in the NBA? Just curious. He’s 6’4” so he’s not that overly short but not talll either. He’s fun to watch but I know he’s be a liability on defense. Just curious. I’d assume he’s a second round pick if anything. I know as a Bucks fan I’d love a guy that can shoot like that coming off the bench around Giannis.

Bucks at Gasol...

Parden this Interuption...carry on.

I’m from wisconsin and the only local team I’ve always rooted for since Jordan retired has been the Bucks. Curious from some outsider objective views if any of you think the Bucks are for real enough to make it to the Finals and if so could they give a run at winning it.

i feel like they can make the finals and actually believe they’re pretty legit considering the rule changes of the modern game. My only reason to not trust them is that it’s SO rare to go from not advancing in the playoffs in such a long time to making it all the way to the Finals the very next year...
