B1G 25-26

Michigan! There are a bunch of teams who will be much improved next year. Michigan with the then junior class, USC with 3 x HS#1, Iowa, and Duke to join Vandy, LSU, and usual culprits SC, TX & UConn.

Ciezki only took 4 steps on the layup to put Indiana up by 3.
 
Indiana making a surge here at the end of the season. Don't count Teri Moren out! Her team is playing its best basketball of the year this last month.
 
Hey Iowa fans, anything to the Stuelke injury stuff that's alluded to in the crap show of trolling that is TwitterX ? Keep seeing something about her elbow or shoulder but thought she was okay in final game?

Dear heavens, why are fans trolling? The elbow injury didn't look good initially when they played Illinois but like you I thought was okay as well. Guessing that something flared up, which can happen to anyone.

The game was early, I had no opportunity to even scoreboard watch, had to look up the score long after it was over. Sorry to hear Davidson was injured. I'll still take the win for Washington. Survived a poor game by Sellers, partially eased by Ladine's highest scoring game this season.

Ah, missed that because it was woeful Badgers. Will be something to look for tomorrow. I'm interested in the Gophers and Iowa games as both are fun teams to watch.

She’s nowhere near the hot seat, but each year it seems like they’re on the verge of something good and end up faltering. Results are near identical:

2023-24: 22-9 overall, 12-6 conf
2024-25: 22-10 overall, 11-7 conf
2025-26: 22-8 overall, 11-7 conf
 
Maryland loses to Oregon.

They’re the definition of mediocre in my eyes. They always win just enough to look good. But S16 has been pretty much their season for a while now (2023 being an exception).

Agree. Doesn't help that they lost Hallock and Alexander for the bulk of the conference portion of the season. Alexander has returned but is playing minimally. Hallock isn't coming back this season based on what the commentators said last night.
 
Ducks playing with house money now. Don’t expect their legs will hold up in this third in three days game vs. Michigan but they already have one more win than I had pencilled in. Star trio of Sophs Fiso, Etute, and Cain got it done boding well for future.
Any one watching Oregon this season and how coaches game plan against them must be puzzled how phenom Ehis Etute completely whiffed on any All Big 10 selection. Oh well…proof is on the hardwood.

Absolutely has a right elbow injury. Was on the ground reaching for a loose ball vs Illinois and another player fell on her arm when it was extended. Jan didn't play her vs Wisconsin and may not be available for the Big 10 tourney.

Did hurt her shoulder a couple weeks ago causing her to miss a game but the elbow injury happened vs Illinois.

Was my response not clear? I said the injury looked bad initially against Illinois and thought she was okay because she returned to the game.

Agree 100%. The midwest/east BIG media people tend to ignore the Pacific Northwest WBB schools. The coaches less so (they voted Sellers 1st Team).

From both a scoring perspective and advanced/value stats perspective, Etute would have been a solid choice for 2nd-Team All Big.

Etute is at the top in the league in rebounds per game (8.8 rpg) despite not starting in the first part of the season and averaging 23.3 minpg overall compared to #2 Betts (26.8 minpg) and #3 Stuelke (29.6 minpg). Should have been a consideration at least.

Not listed in the injury report so likely playing today.

 
Minnesota did not disappoint. Of course we would have loved to play a few more games in the Big Ten tournament but it is what it is. Hats off to Ohio State.

Michigan/Oregon- Michigan got some revenge against Oregon from an earlier match up and it was nice to see Big Blue get the win. I can't for the next round of games.

Hannah has 8.6 rebound per game. Not a lot of difference their.

My point exactly. Etute was the conference leading rebounder. No shade against Betts or Stuelke whom I admire, enjoy, and appreciate. But one made First Team and the other Second Team while Etute didn’t even get an Honorable Mention.
It seems to have been an oversight and would have been nice to see her season recognized with an HM. Nothing more to it than that.
 
Ok Big 10 experts..... Will you guys weigh in.

Creme has Amy Williams and the Huskers dancing and ASU and Molly Miller at home. Miller made the point that there is never been a power Four 24 win team left out of the dance.

I am a Husker fan through my wife and I really do like Amy Williams. But as an Arizonan and a delighted ASU fan I can't see any rationale for having the Huskers dance and ASU stay at home.

What do you think?

I think Nebraska is a placeholder at this point. Creme doesn't know what's going to happen in the Summit League, so he's keeping the Huskers there for now.

I think that SDSU wins it and steals a bid.

There really is no good reason why Nebraska gets in and ASU stays home.
 
I looked at Nebraska’s best wins. And I didn’t see a lot of substance there. @ Washington, Illinois, and neutral over Virginia. Considering they had a million opportunities for big wins in conference… I think these are pretty disappointing.
 
Nebraska is a NET outlier at #28. They are 1-10 in Quad 1 games. I just can't see them in, even in the play-in-game Creme shows for them. ASU discussion is probably better for another thread although it sort of relates as the strength of the Big 10 versus the mediocrity of the Big 12 is a factor come selection day for seeding.
