Jackson-Davis could have been the best player in the Big Ten. The guy should average 25 and 15 a game. He's still considered a really good player, just not discussed with the Murray, Davis, Cockburn and Ivey. It seems to be how engaged he is determines his output. He would have thrived under Fran.

TJD is way better than Trevion Williams who was All B1G last year. I don't think TJD can be considered up there with the POY candidates because he doesn't have a perimeter game. He would be a huge upgrade over Rebraca in small ball paired with keegan.

This collapse of Michigan just shows the importance of defense and friendly whistle. Indiana got a bad whistle earlier but as soon as they got aggressive defensively it all turned.

Michigan still has a chance thanks to Brooks 3.

Who is the tougher matchup for Illinois? I feel like it is Michigan, but efff J. Howard!

 

[EduNeerHawk]

Maybe not lol

Come on man.....it's March Madness.....gotta be careful what you post too early.... 😳

 

[nbanflfactory]

Rofl lmfao!!!

 

[HawkBall23]

Michigan with the epic choke job in the last 8 minutes of this game.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Wow. IU missed ... Michigan rebound ... and they throw the ball away!

 

[nbanflfactory]

Come on man.....it's March Madness.....gotta be careful what you post too early.... 😳

I knew it all along

I knew it all along

Trust me....I almost hit the post button and damn glad I didn't....wow!

 

[HawkLogic]

Howard can punch Diabate for too hot a pass at close range.

Wonder if Diabate goes to NBA......he's had one career game vs Iowa, but looks the part of athletic big for NBA.

 

[HawkBall23]

Michigan =

[EduNeerHawk]

I think it is safe to say this 🥴 ........It looks the Illini is going to have to deal with that IU crowd.....good luck (not really....not sure who I want to win that one?) and not that the Illini will not have the Orange crush there too but....it's a risk.

Michigan Choked. Illinois should pound Indiana.

 

[HawkBall23]

I just hope IU saved a little something for Illinois tomorrow.

Used up a lot of energy and emotion in coming back to win this one.

 

[nbanflfactory]

Damn, was hoping ind would call a TO!!

 

[Chishawk1425]

Bring on our Hawks! And go Cuse!

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[HawkBall23]

Michigan Choked. Illinois should pound Indiana.

Nebraska shoulda finished the job vs NW last night and Michigan vs Indiana today, too.

 

[HungryHawk]

That handshake was tense. Held my breath until Howard was out of the shot.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Get Butler game on as we wait for Iowa too. Up 4 in 2nd half over Providence

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Haven't seen choking that bad since the tryouts episode of "So You Think You're a Porn Star?"

 

[Chishawk1425]

Butler up 3 with 8 min to go

 

[HawkBall23]

Not getting beat by a lot of points per game is still getting beat.

IU trying to give reasons why they deserve to be in the NCAA field.

To be fair, a whiny, grabby Gard presents an iresistabe punchable face. Woodson could take a punch and probably throw one back.

I've looked at those "flow probability" things plenty, but really, what's the point? It's like "they've got this chance of winning until things change and then it's this". I mean it's pretty meaningless as things are changing constantly in a game.

The judges on that show were brutal!

 

[ssckelley]

So far in this tournament every team that lead at the half has lost.

So he did coach? Glad the guys responded so well to him.

☺️

So far in this tournament every team that lead at the half has lost.

Time to break that trend in a big way.

I take it to mean 98.5% of teams in that situation end up losing, so it is highly predictive stat. If it isn't based on actual statistical data, then yes it would be meaningless.



To not lose, you have to do what Indiana did, which was totally dominate the last 10 minutes or so.

 

[ssckelley]

Time to break that trend in a big way.

I sure hope so, I don’t think Iowa has ever won a game in this tournament as a 5 seed.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Cuse up!

 

[HawkBall23]

I sure hope so, I don’t think Iowa has ever won a game in this tournament as a 5 seed.

Like I said, time to break that trend in a big way.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Duke up 8 with 45 seconds left ... not going to happen for the Cuse.

 

[HawkBall23]

Does Revsine have something against Demps??

Keeps bringing up how Iowa has lately dominated the matchup vs NW and then throws it over to him. "How ya doing over there, former Wildcat??".

lol

 

[Chishawk1425]

Get it over to Butler game!
