Wrong. lot's of people expected Becky to have a good team. And why would they received votes after week 2? By then it was apparent they were garbage. Oh, and BTW, @rmilia1 is a very knowledgeable poster, but he's a fucking HOMER.

Dienhart: My 2017-18 Big Ten men's basketball predictions

Early Big Ten basketball power rankings for 2017-18

Lmao you posted one guys predictions?

The fact is the ones with accumulated votes(you know every source?) had the Badgers middle of the pack. If you thought they would be good this year that's your own problem. This was going to be a down year and that's before they lost 2 starters.

As for the polls...receiving votes is meaningless. Mt St Mary's accidentally receivered 4 votes for week 2. Early on nobody pays attention out of the top 25.

I'm done arguing about it. All these teams are terrible. Better luck next season.

Btw that Dienhart guy basically said he put the Badgers 4th because that's what they always do.

He acknowledged they lost a lot.

And key for his prediction? Trice...who is out.

Second half of Gophs and OSU is the worst half I've ever watched two teams play

Gophs went 9:30 without a basket

I think the game went about 5 min without a basket

And OSU while up 16 I can't recall when they last made a shot

The top 4 in the B1G are now 22-1 against the rest of the league. The only loss to somebody other than one another was Michigan's loss at Nebraska.

Definitely a lack of depth in the league this year.

Maryland and Minny dealing with Injuries/Suspension also hasn't helped.

This is as bad as the league has probably ever been. Only year that I can think of that might be worse is 2004-2005. But even then there weren't this many bad teams in the league at that time.

The trash talk that took place over the off-season between Wake and Illinois fans now seems pretty hilarious now, considering both teams blow dick this season.

We've seen the last of @Great Dayne til September, I believe.

Him disappearing after the Big Ten championship game, and showing up right after Wisconsin won the Orange Bowl, is one of the funniest things I have seen on the hoop. Him doubling down and saying he was on vacation (during the entire month of December), and how he doesn't live on internet message boards, was also hilarious.

@Great Dayne is the Wisconsin version of @OregonDucks

Getting swept by NW. lol. The sad part about this whole season is that this is Wisconsin's worst team in nearly 2 decades and they'll still beat our ass.
