was it at a top 10 program?
How many intramural titles did you win?
and the racism thing? Why are you cool with it?
So that says what? They might as well pack in the season? Indiana is a good team and won one of games on last second shot, but you know that. I would pick Iowa over Indiana 10/10 times, but sh&t happens. Other than Nebraska there are no easy games in the B10 this year. Minnesota is an excellent team and somehow are 6-8 in the league.
How do you remember all your usernames and passwords 1605?
Wait, you would pick Iowa to win 10 out of 10 times against Indiana, but Indiana has beaten Iowa 2 out of the 2 times this year? Where's the logic in that? Lol
If there is a stinker in there I would expect it to be @Michigan. I kind of expect @Wisconsin and at OSU to be battles. Just flat out shouldn't get blown out by Wisc and OSU is a better matchup for the Hawks plus have already seen them.
I totally understand your point but if they played tomorrow at a neutral site with the spread as pick em, I'd take the Hawks too. Might just be the fan in me though
Oh I'd choose Iowa tomorrow too lol I'm just trying to understand the whole 10 times out of 10. Like usually you'd say "9 times out of 10" because there's always that 1 time that will bite you in the a$$.
If you'd ask me right now how many times out of 10 Iowa would beat Indiana, I literally could not answer 10. That has already been proven lol.
agreed. Hard to say 8 out of 10 with that logic right now
Hok Fan will tell you Iowa will beat any team 10 out of 10 times.
I COMPLETELY forgot to highlight this and comment on it. Okay. Here I go.
I believe the Big 10 is likely the toughest conference. I believe the analytics support that, and I've watched a lot of Big 10 basketball this year to let myself believe it. NORTHWESTERN, PENN STATE, MARYLAND AND MICHIGAN STATE STINK! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? LOL
Northwestern is 6-12 and is on an 11 game losing streak! Penn State is 7-10 and 4-9 in conference! Michigan State has lost 5 of 7 and have only beaten three Big 10 teams (Nebraska 2x)! Maryland is 1 game above .500, and 5-9 in conference.
Also, Minnesota is excellent?? They haven't beaten a single team away from Minneapolis this year. Not one. That's not an excellent team.
Minnesota or those others aren't excellent but they're above where your normal bottom feeders are. Penn state has played almost everyone close and won at a currently ranked Virginia tech by 20 earlier in the year. They also beat a bubble team in vcu and nearly another in seton hall.
Minnesota and Michigan state went undefeated outside of conference including a combined 3-0 vs the ACC.
For me it's not that these are great teams but usually once you get to bottom 3 to 4 teams in the conference you get gimmes and i don't think those teams are that either
Penn State is 7-10. That's literally all I have to say. You know who else has almost won games this year? Iowa State. Congrats to them for beating two good teams. They also lost to Nebraska, the worst team in the Big 10.
I could give two s**** about how Minnesota and MSU did against the ACC. The ACC is trash this year. Absolute garbage lol.
And you're correct, the bottom of the Big 10 is not great. They are far from great. They have .250 or worse conference win percentages. That is damn near a gimme. Out of the bottom 4, MSU is the only team that's above .500. They have literally only beaten Rutgers, Nebraska, and Northwestern. I truly don't know why you're going to battle for these teams.
Only because of the competition to some degree. I think they would be mid pack in Sec, Acc, or Pac. I don't think they would be great in any league but certainly not 12th and 13th place
NORTHWESTERN HAS LOST 11 STRAIGHT GAMES. THEIR LAST WIN WAS THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.
I'm not going to battle im just explaining how the league is setup and makes meh teams look terrible.
