So are you saying they will make the tournament with a win over Nebraska now? Or are you sticking with your original claim?

IU will make Big Dance with win over Nebraska. If they lose, I don't think they get in. I think it is pretty simple at this point.

Agreed, it seems not everyone here agrees with that though. Which is fine, time will tell.

If they lose to the lowest seed, a 7-24 team at a game up the road from home, I don't even think they would be NIT worthy. I don't recall seeing a team with that much talent under perform for most of the season as they have. Not sure if they can move away from Archie, but something ain't right in Bloomington and something needs to change soon.

Im honestly not sure IU is all that talented. Green and TJD are both really good but neither is elite talent wise imo

Id probably rank IU middle of the pack in the B10 for talent

Theyre for ceryain behind

MSU
MD
Illinois
OSU

Id group them with the next 3 or 4 teams

I think this is going to be the best B10 tourney ever

Literally 1-12 could win it and i wouldnt be shocked.

Im really looking forward to it

Agreed...nobody is dominant and nobody is a doormat...no team winning it all would surprise me other than Northwestern and Nebraska...and for all I know either of those 2 win this

Total collapse for PSU. At least I'm thankful they're 6th seed in B1G and probably a 7th seed in the Tourney.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Despite good shooters shooting badly pretty much all season I'm proud my Terps got a tie for the league title in the best league in the country. I really don't care about the BIG Tourney. all it does is change the seedings just a bit for the tournament that really matters.

Big 10 Champs and hopefully coach of the year the Badgers

I guess it would be hard to not get coach of the year when you win Big 10 Championship when you coach the first team in Big history that won the Championship without a player and the 1st or 2cnd team all big 10, when you also lost a coach from an accident that killed his wife and a child, who also had to deal with a few player issues along the way as well!

Nice job coach

Happy for Luka getting PoY. Dude has busted his ass. Cant wait to see him next year surrounded by all the shooters Iowa is going to have

Nebraska will be without two of it's best players on Wednesday for the B1G tourney due to a violation of team rules. With only 7 eligible players, today they added two players from the football team to travel to Indy.

That's the state of Nebraska Basketball today.

They cant make the IU/Nebraska game high enough for me to take the points.

Pretty sad state of affairs. Will be interesting to see what Hoiberg can accomplish in the next couple years.

I can’t get high enough to gain any interest in the game

Oturu declared for the draft. Intends to stay in according to Woj. Back to being even more irrelevant than this season.

I figured he would..personally though i think another year wouldve helped him

Yeah same. It's just weird losing guys early to the league because we went like 15 years between that happening. Lol. Shame we didn't get to see him against Garza one more time in the BTT.

One of my buddies is friends with Garzas Dad. He said his pops says hes not even going to test. Hes coming back 100%

Well that's pretty awesome for you. Given how many fringe draft guys end up leaving(see Coffey) if you get one of those guys back it's just huge.

NBA values potential over production, hard to say


Weak draft.

Loss for gophers for sure

Garzas 2 best friends on the team are CMac and JBo. I think hed come back even if he was a lock late first rounder just for Bohannon but being a likely 2nd rounder or UFA makes it easy imo
