The Mighty Big 10

[uconngb]

Northwestern beats Purdue then loses to something called Chicago State (who was 3-9) as a 23.5 point favorite.

Wonder if @kobe is on their board slinging arrows????

Chicago St. might just have the worst program in all of D1 for womens hoops. Don't know if the mens is as dire, but would imagine they are toward the bottom of mid (or low) majors.

sorry i don't comment on city rivalry games. the plucky mid major school often wins those games. the wildcats get a pass.

Creighton just lost to 3-4 UNLV btw. But keep throwing stones.

I think UNLV is just a tad different than Chicago State. Bad loss, yes. But Chicago State is a ridiculously brutal loss. You can’t even compare the two.

You don’t comment because your team always loses them?? I see

Creighton lost by 15. The Big East is extremely mediocre outside of the top 3, and Creighton just hurt that narrative badly. We shouldn’t throw stones like this.

Or is it that wannabe-majors often lose them.

Yeah. I would love to join in and pile on the Big 10, but Creighton's loss to UNLV was humbling for sure.

It's been pretty rough goings for the BE as a whole this year so not going to say too much. They need to make up for it with another solid Mach (like last year, that was a good showing).

Relevant side comment: Chicago State is joining the Northeast Conference next season, helping replace Sacred Heart and Merrimack, who are moving to the MAAC.

Creighton is strange. UNLV was 3-4 but this was their first game with Kalieb Boone playing and he got 25. Your defensive player of the year had trouble with him for some reason. No matter their 2 losses in which they were beaten badly are head scratchers. You can only hope that team shows up when you play them because they are pretty good. But this one hurts the Big 3 look for the BE.

The Big 10 last won a title when people thought Creed was cool.

Remember when this board thought McDermott was on the Mount Rushmore of all time coaches

The Big 10 will choke in the NCAA tournament in March again. You can practically set your watch to it.

It was his brother Keylon’s first game.

The Big Ten is a train wreck so far this season.

Michigan State this year just wishes they could get in so they can choke.
