Big 10 basketball 2022, Part II

I can’t believe Reese was not a unanimous first team selection. She’s been the most consistent player for MD this entire season.

Agreed! You know how good Clark and Hillmon had to be to keep Reese from even entering the B1G POY conversation?! She’s got the numbers for a winner in most conferences in most seasons.
 
Conspicuously absent from all of those lists are any players from Wisconsin. This is Malisa’s first year. She pretty much had to go with the returning players.

She finished ranked 11th in the conference standings, 8-21/5-13. Her team may want to visit The Wizard” over the summer. The Badgers lost today to a 7-19/1-13 - fourteen seed Illanois team that outscored them 25-10 in the 3rd quarter. Final: 75-66 Illinois. No one expected them to win the tournament, but also no one expected them to be sent home by the worst team in the conference. :confused:

Julie Pospíšilová was honorable mention. There seems to be a tradition of making sure at least one player on every team gets some sort of recognition, even if it's just HM. Wisconsin getting ousted by Illinois really isn't a surprise. The Illini split the season series with the Badgers, winning one game by as much as 21. Not much separation between the bottom four in this league.

Pretty good first season for Marisa, especially considering how much the team improved compared to those early season losses. She also won more conference games her first year than Tsipis did in any year of his tenure.

Inidiana had to battle but they eventually pulled away from Rutgers to win 66-54.

They didn't have Brown to help in the front court today. She wasn't dressed. Unfortunately, I caught the tail end of the game and didn't hear the announcers explain why (injury, etc.?).

I overheard that when I turned it on. Very unfortunate as Rutgers seemed to be clicking finally.

I’ll continue to follow Wisconsin as long as Marisa is there. As she turns the roster over with more of her players, I expect her to become more competitive and put more w’s in the win column. On Wisconsin. :)

Apparently Browne aggravated a previous hip injury while drawing a charge in Indiana's last regular season game. She had surgery on the hip in this most recent offseason. Moren said she should be back tomorrow. I'm not sure if Moren is serious or just doesn't want to show her cards to Maryland before she has to.

Should be an interesting Maryland/Indiana game tomorrow. Really looking forward to that Iowa/Northwestern match up. Round 3. The night cap, Michigan/Nebraska

These are exciting matchups with definite upset potential. 5-seed Indiana split the season series with 4-seed Maryland. 7-seed Northwestern split the season series with 2-seed Iowa, and Iowa needed overtime to win the game they did. 6-seed Nebraska ran 3-seed Michigan out of the gym in their only meeting this year.
 
Emotionally difficult semis in the B1G for me. My four favorite teams play off Glad and sad mix I guess.
 
With Maryland out this tourney is up for grabs by anyone IMO. Even though they've had a down year, everyone knew they were still top dog.

Not really....I never thought they were top dog at any point during this season.

Yup. Even in a down season, everyone did think that Maryland was top dog. Then it was Indiana for a while. Michigan was in the conversation after Indiana stumbled. Now, Iowa hung around and might get the crown. But yeah, Maryland was still considered top dog in the conference.
 
To the poster who keeps saying Indiana is overrated: they've now beaten Maryland and Ohio State on tired legs with a still-recovering-from-injury version of McKenzie Holmes, no Kiandra Browne, and a version of Aleksa Gulbe so sick that she didn't even come out of the locker room until midway through the 2Q today. That's their entire front court depth except for Arielle Wisne, a third stringer who is now seeing meaningful minutes for the first time in her career.

Indiana is two steady reserve players away from being a national championship contender. They’re tough, gritty, smart, and play exceptionally well together. Just have zero depth and very little margin of error because of it.

Indiana has been getting the better end of the officiating.

Maryland 22 fouls - Indiana 12 fouls. (especially with how physical Indiana was with Angel Reese)

Ohio State 20 fouls - Indiana 9 fouls. Free throws in favor of Indiana 23-4.

Sort of one sided.

Or it could be that Indiana plays good defense and Maryland and Ohio State don't. They are a disciplined, experienced team and know they can't afford to get in foul trouble given their limited depth. If you look at their box scores, they have committed less fouls than their opponents in about 85% of games this year. It must be a big conspiracy that the refs keeping favoring Indiana. :rolleyes:
 
Nothing about conspiracy but the fouls were a little one sided. Especially in the Ohio State game. Let's see what happens in the Iowa game.
