Good post. Glad you included the channel and the weather may be a factor.

Since we're so fucking bipolar, we could drop this one and it wouldn't surpise me.

Hoping my gas will be settle dso I can relax and watch this game without constantly running to toilet

6pm on the BTN with Revsine and Bardo.
Win this one and we may be sitting in 2nd place after the start we had.

Get a 5 gallon bucket and a toilet seat and you won't miss a play.

You should start a thread where you can share the latest on this as it happens.

Getting close to 18 wins and Squeaky leaving the board.

We all know that he will not leave as he lost a bet previously and reneged on it. That's why no one bothers to bet him.

Yes, he doesn't honor bets that result in bans.
Perhaps he'll agree to return with the username Squeaky.

Does this story sound familiar at all?

They are man-boys who maintain a teenager’s sharp sense of self-absorbed grievance long after adolescence; they exhibit a combination of childish insecurity and lethally bold arrogance; they are sexually and socially insecure. Perhaps most dangerous, they go almost unnoticed until they explode. Some of them open fire on their schools or other institutions; others become Islamic radicals; yet others embrace right-wing-extremist conspiracies.

That's our Squeaky.

I’ve never bet you this

Because you bet you would leave the young girls who take your Uber alone. I saw it here.

Let's bet, Squeaky.
You said your 17 wins prediction was generous.

It was in a normal Big 10 and Big 10 schedule.
How could I have foreseen that Illinois would play the 4 worst teams in the conference 8 times? Or that the Big 10 is the worst conference in its history with a grand total of 1 team in the top 25.

Indiana says hello 👋

Thought you said you were The Insider here? Inherent danger in making bold pre-season predictions, I guess?

Preseason analytics and rankings indicated that the conference wasn't as strong as usual.

One of the weakness of the ignore function is we can still see their quoted text.
Also, they can see us.
Looks like pomeroy has 4 B1G teams in the top 25. 6 more in the top 45.
There is a lot of parity everywhere. Oklahoma just pounded Alabama.
Jiffy Lube guy could have a big night, foul trouble for the wrong guys, Nebraska could beat us.
-
I like basketball. And myself.
-
Illini up 5 at half en route to a 15 point win. We're just too tough of a team over the full 40.
-
my gas came back with a vengeance today
sigh
-
Melendez wasn't close on either 3. He needs to look for 2 pt shots.
-
I guess Underwood has convinced Melendez he needs to play like Kyle Korver.
-
Griesel scores a quick 15 of the team's 17, stops scoring and it's a 1 point game.
4-17 from 3 for 24%. 🤦♂️
-
How’re we looking?
-
How’re we looking?
Just good enough to take a 1 point lead into the half.
-
Koerver II with a bad miss from 3.
-
Epps getting a little careless with the ball
-
9-0 run. The idiot ball is back.
-
Awful
-
Either a turnover or missed 3. That’s our offense right now.
-
What the fuck is this shit
-
Looks like PAMan was AOTC worrying about our free-shots but perhaps BTC on worrying about 3s.
-
16% from deep. 50% from two. No, let's keep jacking up threes.
-
This team is the Dallas Cowboys of college basketball.
-
Couple of great defensive possessions here.
-
To quote Al Davis, just win baby.
-
I never doubted :)
-
Ty Rodgers is a straight up menace on D tonight.
-
24-6 run to close out the game.
-
Nebraska ran out of gas.
-
Ty Rodgers is a straight up menace on D tonight.
Rodgers and Harris increased the pace on both ends.
Play defense, rebound and don't shoot 3s, except for Mayer and Epps.
-
Half of our shots were from 3.
We scored 15 from 3 and 40 from 2.

ho hum just another W

EZ W

Keep stacking them.

Firing Tim Miles to hire Fred Hoiberg will go down as one of the worst AD decisions of all time. Especially when you consider how much Hoiberg makes. Nebraska is hopeless.
Hoiberg’s Big 10 records:
2-18 (14th)
3-16 (14th)
4-16 (13th)
3-8
-
Where’s IVMP? Don’t think he’s posted in a few days.
-
Coaching the Bulls must have broken Hoiberg for life.

Consoling Squeaky.

Meh. That was a terrible hire and he was never good.

2nd place after the 0-3 start.

So are you saying there is a chance to win the only title that matters - the B1G Title?

Paraphrasing Orwell's Animal Farm, some titles are more equal than others.

Hard to imagine catching Purdue, but 2nd would be an accomplishment after the start they had.

I dunno firing bo pelini was pretty bad too
-
I'm concerned by how befuddled they were against the zone. Other, better teams will take advantage of that.

Is Hawkins being coached to NOT shoot from the free shot line, when he's, you know - 6'10", and his defender is giving him space?
-

Taking a break.

We've been chatting. I tell him he's under 30% for the year and if he doesn't include the game vs Wisco, he's at 25%.
-
We're now 295th in 3 pt fg% and 33rd in attempts per game.

I think he’s talking about the wide open shots the opposing teams are daring Coleman to take from the FT line when he catches it there while we try to break the zone.

Just look at it as the 3 pointer just sets up the putback 2.

He is. It's as plain as day too. :D

I didn't see that stat line listed anywhere. lol
-
Just think how good this team could be if it could shoot. Maybe we'll have some lucky shooting games come mid to late March.
-
Indeed, a missed 3 pointer is a pass off the rim if you're good enough at offensive rebounding, and our starting 2 is 6-6/215 so YOLO.

This is where RJM not taking a major step forward is disappointing. This team is desperate for someone who can set shoot 3s. Maybe Goode will be back in time to be in shape for the tournaments.
-
RJM not only didn’t take a step forward, he’s a complete husk of the shooter he was last year and early this year. It’s like the Aaron Cosby experience but at least RJM has other tools at his disposal.
-
I had totally forgotten about Aaron Cosby. What a Grocetastic year that was.
