Other Games 2/20 Thread

[StormHawk42]

Lots of action, especially around the Bubble today.

MSU might pluck Indiana off and give us another game of separation from them.

Vandy hanging with Bama (2 seed projected) early.

 

[StormHawk42]

Also Tennessee (4 seed) is getting spanked by Kentucky. Nova (3 seed) tied with UCONN early on.

#10 Villanova (projected #2 seed in NCAA Tournament) is in a tight one vs UConn

Sparty up by 4 with 35 sec. to go.

Hopefully Illinois in a little bit too

Indiana this year is one of the most annoying teams I can remember. They shit the bed against literally anyone except Iowa

 

[Hawkfan_08]

This is much easier said than done but Jackson-Davis physically cannot go right. If you completley shut down his left and not let him just drift around the rim, you should beat them.

The problem is that we couldn't defend their guards, sat in a zone, and let them score.

The got the two signature Iowa wins in the bank. LIfe is good.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Vandy still hanging! Tennessee going down.. good start to the day

 

[StormHawk42]

UCONN and Vandy are close but doesn’t feel like either of them will get over the hump today

 

[SotaHawk87]

Minnesota gonna beat Illinois today... could see some really good things for the hocks

At home they have a chance. True Jekyll and Hyde team.

Probably. I placed several bets on them and Purdue to win, so I guarantee this will be the one time they lose.

Betting against Minnesota at home has lost me some money this year. Will just be watching and cheering for the Goophs

In the 2nd Indiana game (at Bloomington), Indiana's starting guards were:
- Franklin (2-10 FGs in 23 minutes) = 4 points
- Phinisee (1-8 FGs in 22 minutes) = 3 points
- Durham (1-8 FGs in 33 minutes) = 9 points on 6/7 FTs

Thompson (PF) had 15 points and the Hoosiers hit a shot at the end.

They couldn't miss. They threw in bank shots. And they got calls that no team deserves.
That about sums it up.

 

[fezzador]

Also Tennessee (4 seed) is getting spanked by Kentucky. Nova (3 seed) tied with UCONN early on.

I don't get the hype surrounding Tennessee. They got a lot of preseason hype and the losses keep piling up in a weak SEC. I think they get upset the first round of the tourney. They're not very good.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Archie would be certainly looking for a job if it wasn’t for Iowa.

 

[StormHawk42]

Watching these games today and I have yet to see a center that would be able to handle Garza one on one.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

good grief; how did we get SWEPT by IU?????

they are definitely an odd team to figure out. Somehow beat us 2x lose 2 games they could’ve and should’ve won at Wisconsin and home vs Illinois in OT. Then look awful in the next game.

They’ll sneak into the tourney and lose first game. Archie’s seat will continue to get warm because their fan base is the Nebraska version of b-ball

 

[SotaHawk87]

Hate to cheer for Kansas but it helps the hawks

 

[haightt]

IL 30, MN 23, with 7+ to go in the 1st half.

Actually, they only have 2 bad losses (Michigan State & N'w). Granted, the OSU & Texas losses were blow outs.

8 of their 10 losses were to NCAA tournament teams.

Their 10 losses (rankings were at time of game):

#4 OSU by 19
#8 Wisconsin, by 7
#12 Illinois by 4
#17 Texas by 22
#18 Illinois, by 9
#20 Florida St, by 2

Rutgers by 4
Purdue by 12
MSU by 7
N'w, by 7

Wow. I could imagine some Sparty fans putting down $100 and walking away with $880 profit

other than Gonzaga & Baylor, does any team fear you (or you want to avoid them because they are a bad match up)?

 

[JEDN]

Very impressed with Illinois, they will be a tough out for anyone.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[SDHawkDoc]

illini turned it up a notch to end the half, capped by that half court shot at the buzzer.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[Franisdaman]

Very impressed with Illinois, they will be a tough out for anyone.

The Illini started out 5-3.

This will be 7 wins in a row, getting them to 12-3.

As you can see, it will soon become 9 wins in a row (MSU & Neb).

They end with Wisconsin, Michigan & OSU.
