Nogel Eastern not even in the game in OT. Preseason all conference selection.

We need Myles Johnson to develop a FT stroke like Williams or Cockburn.

that could have been a shot clock violation there but i get why they wouldnt stop possession there...Michigan should have been able to get something better than that though

really if they do not win this game, it will be a disappointing loss for them and raise concerns over how good they are. You cant lose this game at home in a second overtime against a banged up Purdue

You're dumber than most self-loathing small-time football fans if you think Powell wouldn't have gotten to his average (22/game) if not injured. 24 at Xavier tonight, far superior team to rutgers. Simple math. I'm sure as a rutgers grad you're splitting atoms and paid for Schiano's car. Is it really that hard to figure out?
Powell is so amazing, he scores above his average against every opponent.

Feels like the 2nd half will include what the Spartans often do: wake up and take over the game. We shall see. If they lose, hey, we're playing for 1st place on Saturday!

Watching MSU and Minny on ESPN2 and they were talking how MSU is at top of B1G but then gave a shout out to Rutgers and also mentioned Todd Frazier too. Nice to be getting love everywhere,

B1G home teams go 3-1 today. Wiscy was the only road team to emerge victorious, winning at PSU. The Badgers now have two road wins and are the only league team to lose at home and win on the road.

Pitt loses at Miami, Pitt is barely a Q1 game right now, I fear they are headed to Q2 soon.

Thanks. Why isn’t Illinois on the road a Q1 loss? They’re 37 and the range for road losses is 1-75.

Mixed bag yesterday. Pitt over UNC, Drexel over William and Mary, SfA over Incarnate Word, but St. Bonnie’s got drilled by VCU, Umass got drilled by George Washington, Navy edged Lafayette,Bryant lost 4th straight to LIU at home. Penn state drilled OhioState and Seton Hall came back to beat St. John’s. Overall a decent day as out of conference strength of schedule which 340 early is up to 283 in Kenpom.

Pittsburgh keeps ping-ponging between Q1/Q2, so hopefully they end up on the Q1 side of the line when the season ends.
UMass now ahead of Nebraska, but both are possibly Q3 home wins depending on how the season plays out.
No games against teams 300+, either, for now.

Of the 14 B1G schools, 12 would be Q1 games if played on the road or at neutral sites. Only Nebraska and Northwestern are ranked below 50th, and we got Nebraska twice. Don't think it's the schedule-makers that are brutal, but the strength of the conference itself.
