Nebraska @ IU...biggest home game so far for IU, 1 point game, and the crowd is DEAD. Assembly Hall is usually one of the louder, tougher environments in the B1G. Are students on break? IU just stopped caring about hoops?

Kansas won't reach their full potential without Peterson but they continue to look meh when he plays, they gotta figure that out

I picked a bad day to take in my first Kansas game.

Duke is the only team that when they face a decent team, their best player or contributor is out

 

[Trust Me]

Michigan might fukk around and lose to Wisconsin at home. Everything these chesses headed mf'ers throw up is going in.

Literally... EVERYTHING.

Lendeborg one of the last of the Mohicans still hooping in retros Js

Wisc done had back to back one and ones and missed both of them, do they want this upset or not

Thought Wisconsin was gonna choke it away with all those missed FTs, I guess we don't have to crown Mich as champs in January just yet

On the real, it's better to get some L's out the way, it's better to have some close games to learn to close them out, and it's good to have a game or two that stings, helps to regroup for a another run. But y'all have a west coast road trip this week..those can be tricky

Also, PSU gave Purdue problems on the road...that's us, y'all and now PU that have had issues with them, but ended up winning.

Nebraska is playing the best ball in the conference rn...they were down 16 @IU in the second half, came back and won fairly comfortably. That big who passes well, and Frager I'd take on my team any day.

Edit: confernce winner should have at least 3 L's....Nebraska only plays us, Y'all and Purdue once each, beat us at home, purdue at home and y'all on the road....they low key might only have 2-3 conference losses if they can beat the teams they're supposed to. Everyone loses at least one game they should win, so if they lose to y'all and PU and one of those random L's they'd be sitting pretty with only 3 losses on the season.

Besides 12s and 7s, most J's aren't that great to hoop in...very clunky.

They played their best ball of the year when he was out...I haven't seen enough of their games lately to know what the issue is when DP plays. Any KU fans that can provide context?

 

[Flight]

It’s not DP. It’s a bad bench and no shooters not to mention Tiller is slumping badly man. Their scheme is stupidity personified. Bill would rather give up a top of the key 3 instead of a cheap 2 off a post up.

And they just aren’t that talented…I’m watching Elmarko Jackson play 30 minutes and he wouldn’t even be on scholarship at like a Houston or Duke.

 

[kevin arnold]

They had a 2 for 1 and that clown pulls up and shoots a 3 down by 1 instead of driving

That’s why Alabama is never going to win shyt
