The Illini are getting smoked!

Maryland by 25

competitive games so far!

I have no idea what to make of these baby Terps.

They have the gaudy win-loss record with a couple of name wins (Georgetown, Okie Junior, K-state, and now Illinois) as opposed to directional schools.

But, they have played down to the competition quite often, needing comebacks to beat some weaklings.

Probably a bubble team even at 13-1

Did I just hear that Rutgers has never won a road big ten game since joining the conference? Wtf!

Haven't been here long and they're terrible

I know but you'd think at some point they would've beaten another cellar dweller in the time they've been there.

WTF is Wisconsin doing? They were up by 21 now it's back to single digits. Rutgers scrubs are hitting fucking magical quick threes and UW is just turning it over. There's no reason they shouldn't win this game by 25+ points.

How can Rutgers be so bad at Basketball, being the biggest program in New Jersey?

The most plausible excuse is that there's so many pro sports teams here that are popular and regularly good that nobody cares about college sports. They tried to inject some excitement into the football team, but it didn't last.

NJ has a lot of talent, but it's a small state.

Regardless, the results have been horrendous considering they do haul in decent recruits every now and then simply by being the biggest state school.

NJIT could quickly become the best basketball school in the state

Nah. Seton Hall by a mile.

And they're on the way up...

Full disclosure, did not know Seton Hall was in NJ

Sounded more like a NY school to me

The only way ANYBODY would know is if they followed college basketball.

I follow college basketball as much as I can, and even played travel baseball with some guys who went to Seton Hall so I've got no justification for not knowing they were in NJ. I just flat out didn't know it

I'm starting to consider the possibility that Sparty just may be shitty this year

They are definitely pretty damn bad

I just assumed they'd pull it together like usual. Maybe they still will but it's definitely pushing into concern time

 

[rmilia1]

Little comeback action going on FOR MSU

Well, they get to enjoy the usual gopher collapse

Ward is a beast tho. But it's sad because he's the only one you have to worry about

 

[ericd7633]

Jesus Christ. Same old gophers bull shit. Choke away a game you should have won. MSU literally has 2 guys scoring this game and we can't stop them.
