Roger Craig posted:Wisconsin finally beat a good team. Although it seemed like there was some home cookin from the refs... Wisconsin was due to win a close one. MSU plays 'dare you to call a foul every possession' defense. I appreciated that the refs didn't shy away from making the right calls and shrinking away like they sometimes do with handsy teams. Wisconsin is limited from the perimeter and msu didn't clog the lane and doubled Nigel Hayes like other teams have had success with. And it cost them because they reached instead of playing vertical D.

If you're a weirdo like me, you're starting to get excited for the conference tournaments. Like last year, I have a shared google doc file with all of the tournaments updated for this year. They are mostly the same, except moved up two days. The main changes seem to be: Big Sky: moving from 8 to 12 teams Conference USA: moving from 12 to 13, would be 14 but Southern Miss isn't participating Horizon: moving from 9 to 10, eliminated byes for 3/4 seeds MAC: eliminated double bye system, now doing a standard 12 team setup Mountain West: moving from 10 to 11, someone was probably inelgible last year, I don't remember Summit: still unclear if they will just do a standard 8 team or add a 9th team since Omaha is elgible this year Other than that, there could still be changes based on whether inelgible teams are allowed to participate in various conferences, generally they are allowed to in the smaller conferences. SMU, Missouri, Pacific, and Southern Miss definitely won't though... Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ei2EFlk5AlrcBJ1I2Melxav-bIuOikJgUUubZQpW5EA/edit?usp=sharing

I think we can officially say that Iowa is on a roll now. I think they'll drop a few more down the stretch (I think Purdue will get their revenge on us, and Maryland will probably smoke us, along with one or two dumb losses to like, Wisconsin or Indiana or OSU or someone), but they're playing some drat good basketball right now, and should be knocking on the door of the top ten tomorrow.

I mean we played awful for long stretches of this one against a good Michigan team and still won by double digits. And went on a huge run with most of the starting lineup on the bench, including Uthoff. I'm sure they'll have another off night or two but if someone is playing better right now I want to see it.

Beilein has to cut out some of his rotations. In the past he's gone with a really short bench and I think he's trying to avoid that after the injuries that plagued the team the last couple of years, but you can't put Andrew Dakich on the court @ Iowa. That's just insane. He's a walkon who can't shoot or defend, I believe Iowa's last game winning run came the minute he entered the game. They also put Ricky Doyle in which kicked off the first Iowa run in the 1st half. Even with Levert out Michigan can play: Walton Jr, Rahkhman, Irvin, Robinson, Donnal, Dawkins, Wagner, Wilson and Doyle/Kam Chatman if you insist. That's 10 scholarship players, and you're giving important minutes to Dakich? I don't get it. Oh well, you can't be too unhappy playing a fairly tight game with one of the better teams in the country on the road. Especially with your best player injured, but still weird. Michigan actually had a really good offensive game despite that, but defensively they were horrendous. Iowa scored 1.34 PPP. I know they're a very good offensive team, but that's still terrible defensively. Four fairly easy (comparatively) games upcoming should hopefully improve on some of those things.

MourningView posted:Iowa first run happened in the first, like, minute and a half of the game though. Yeah, I meant the one later in the first half after Michigan caught up the first time. Iowa just have a bunch of dudes with long arms who can really shoot, that's tough for any team to deal with, I doubt the outcome would have been any different no matter who Michigan played, but it's frustrating seeing a guy like Dakich playing important minutes vs Purdue, Maryland, and now Iowa. Given that LeVert's injury is dragging on forever, I don't want this to be a thing that keeps happening all season

I think this is the new AP top ten. The actual site hasn't updated yet, but the preview text on google lists this: 1. Oklahoma 2. UNC 3. Kansas 4. Villanova 5. Xavier 6. West Virginia 7. SMU 8. Virginia 9. Maryland 10. Iowa

This year is bonkers. edit: also I missed this what the gently caress is wrong with Cal's eye? He looks like he contracted syphilis. kiimo fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Rutgers was down to 6 scholarship players tonight. They lost by 50 which is their biggest loss ever and Purdue's biggest conference win, they had 23 rebounds and gave up 26 offensive rebounds. A third string center who had not played in conference play ended up with a double double in just 14 minutes.

For some stupid reason, ISU is playing Texas A&M in the middle of conference play next Saturday. Nothing like having to go on the road to visit a top-10 team, sandwiched between KU and WVU.

I didn't really think Texas A&M was supposed to be top-10 good, but that may say more about how everyone keeps losing rather than how good ATM is.
