Big couple weeks for Iowa. The next 4 are all Q1 games right now ( MSU, at Minnesota , Michigan , at Indiana). Be huge to get 3 of 4 but I'll settle for 2

Great game on tap for tonight when Maryland travels to East Lansing to take on Michigan State. Don't tell these young guys at Maryland they aren't supposed to be this good. Mark Turgeon's guys are playing with a ton of confidence right now, especially Anthony Cowan Jr.

I think this MD/MSU game could be a good one after watching the first 12 minutes. MD not playing real well(bad TO's, not rebounding) and only down 4 right now.

MSU is damn good. Way better than I thought preseason.

Wish Winston somehow chose Marquette. Fuck would we be good...and last year woulda been way better too.

Is Rutgers the worst place to play in the conference?

“The RAC” looks like a fucking joke

Same here. Not often do you lose 2 lottery picks, not enroll a Duke/UK class and actually be much better the following year. And they are doing this without one of their starters. Extremely impressive stuff. Can't wait for the MSU/Michigan games.

Yes, and anything Rutgers is more or less a joke.

They really don't belong in the B1G. Delaney really did a bad job on adding that team. Better choice would have been Syracuse, 1A choice Pittsburgh.

Seems like Izzo has taken a lot of the leash off Ward this year which is big for them.

outside of their 2006 season in football, they are the one program in the P5 that I can think of off the top of my head that has never been good in either of the two major sports since i started watching college football and basketball.

There are no awful losses in the B10 this year . Zero. Pretty crazy . It's certainly not a "good" loss but a road loss to a top 100 team won't keep anyone out of the tourney


Is losing to Rutgers an awful loss?

Well it ain't great but if you lose Rutgers will likely jump about 30 spots in NET so it will be considered a Q2 loss since it's a road game . So, technically , no it won't be awful lol. Bad but not awful

Yeah, they are awful, I'm not even sure if they've won a road conference game in basketball since they've joined. lol.

True, but Rutgers will be lucky to win more than like 3 games the rest of the season. This will definitely be a Q3 loss at least y the end of the year.

You think ? I'm not sure . Teams don't seem to be dropping much when losing . Shit PSU went up 9 spots after a close loss to Minnesota . I think 3 more wins may keep Rutgers inside the top 125 depending on who they beat obviously

I really don't think there's a way for them to finish inside the top 125 if they play like they have been for the entire season. Their NET was 142 coming into today. I don't think they'll win on the road, and they may beat Illinois, Minnesota and PSU at home, so they'd finish 12-18 heading into the B1GT at best IMO. Despite PSU not having won in conference, I think they are much better than Rutgers is.

I'd agree with the last part . Still trying to figure out how NET is going to work . So far it seems like there's not much penalty for losing to good teams

I think the biggest thing I've taken from it is not to get blown out and lose to bad teams. Close wins, even against great competition, doesn't seem to do much for you either. Kansas being the example of that. The top 16 reveal will be telling .
