@TheFarmFan can I say anything? I mean based on who they are playing it seems pretty safe?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh oh Iowa is in a bit of trouble. Illinois is a really hard team to figure. But they are hardly alone in that department in the B1G. All these middle of the pack teams are capable of beating just about anybody else, other than UCLA. But also capable of losing to a bottom feeder.

Tenn is still a tourney lock if they lose out?

Yes--their metrics are still good enough. They can't finish below 0.500 in the SEC.

Mississippi state another loss. I will say it again. Don’t invite them to the tournament.

They will host LSU on Sunday. A loss puts them at 5-11 in the SEC. They're out.

Amazing that they're not even the worst team in the conference

Never say never friend. Sit on your (keyboard) hands for another 40 minutes bro!

TX not messing around with Ga. 49-18 at half.

 

[packwrap]

TX (the team I always say can't shoot) so far at 71% team fg shooting.🧐

I did a little research on Stanford. None of the 8 players on the floor tonite v SMU are seniors. Everyone will be back plus nice recruiting class.
( Who wins next yr Stanford all back v UCLA losing everyone? )

Wow, didnt realize they had that many seniors.
Return Betts, Gardner, and 3 others plus add 1 recruit. They'll load up in the portal.

I know I have...a certain reputation, shall we say. But this one was in the bag from the get go!

Duke puts BTA to F$U 80-52. The score was 33-29 (Duke led) at the half. With the victory, the mighty blue devils clinch the #1 seed for the ACC tournament

Illinois is young but I'm not surprised with how tough they played Iowa tonight. Parchment had a great game and Illinois' 3 point shooting in the second half was insane.

The other thing with Illinois is that they've lost several key players to injury this season. Most recently was Dolan who is a crafty guard. With a healthy roster, they could be even more dangerous.

Last night's game is another example of why I've been enjoying watching the middle of the pack in the BIG10 this year. Like our good friend Plebe would say, "There are no nights off" in the conference this season. 😉

If anyone has the power to inadvertently let the cat out of the bag, it's you, sir! We managed to find ways to have terrible, double digit losses to near conference bottom feeders like Georgia Tech and Miami, so I'm taking nothing for granted these days!
