Of course since it would have been much better to see Purdue win this, they're gonna choke it away.
Combine this with both Wisconsin and Michigan will be missing the Big Dance, unless either wins the BTT.
Hes not going to be a high pick, I could see him transferring somewhere to try for a final 4 next year.
Dickinson should transfer to Iowa. He practiced during the off season with Luka sometimes and i could see him have a 1st team season with Iowa. At Michigan he's not going to be involved in the offense to the detriment of him and thr teams win loss record. Howard has completely wasted him this season.
That's how you beat Purdue. Play football and hope they don't call it. They didn't. Worked out. That crap style is also why the big never wins I'm March.
Yet oddly enough, we laid 86 on them and their organized team defense.
The first NW was up for grabs up until the last few minutes. Winning there will be tough.
Same reffs that do big ten games do tournament.
And they held Purdues guards to a combined 12 points .
How can you let a game get anymore physical and one sided than that game? Purdue players were getting pushed, shoved, etc to the point the announcers just kept pointing out Purdue players that got mugged. Not to mention they have nu points a couple times and literally called a shot clock violation on Purdue without the play clock going below 6. That's not basketball.
It’s all fun that big ten has unique trends for officiating but this defense never works in the actual tournament. So it puts the league at a disadvantage.
Not true, Big12 is more physical than b10.
“Never”? Had a Final Four team and two Elite Eight teams literally two Tournaments ago, and I don’t need to remind you how close it was to our conference having half the Final Four.
Um the last game I watched of big 12 I seen multiple players foul out. I’m not saying big ten doesn’t lack talent at some positions or anything, and yes refs move from conference to conference, but I still think the other leagues emphasize player movement much more then big ten.
lol
If anything, looking at the past 20+ years, it’s 2021’s choke that was clearly the anomaly. I get you’re still salty after the loss and you might have a point that the B1G is too physical, but can we leave the claim that the “Big Ten never wins in March” to the SEC haters and tools at ESPN?
We haven't won a championship since when? And are routinely considered the top conference. The few high draft picks the league sees usually don't fit the big ten style. Such as ivey. Murray fit well in Iowa offense though.
No we aren't! It's sad to see our own fans buy into this BS. We have TWO ranked teams, lol, and people still get off on calling us overrated. 😆 The Pac-12's championship draught is longer than ours, and no one ever talks about that, do they? Outside of Kentucky (an actual Blue Blood, something our conference doesn't have) and an extremely short streak of dominance by Florida, the SEC has not had a single other program play for a National Championship in the last 25 years. Meanwhile, nearly HALF of our conference's programs have played in the NC game since 2000.
Crazy stat from Northwestern's win over Purdue yesterday: After the 9:23 mark in the FIRST half, Purdue players without the last name Edey scored ONE field goal the remainder of the game.
Speaking from experience having Ayo and then Kofi the last couple of years, that type of game plan is what will have you looking like a National Championship contender one minute and bounced in the Second Round the next. All it takes is an off night or some bad luck or a bad matchup.
My favorite stats are a shot clock violation on Purdue with the shot clock never going below 5 and Chris Collins not getting a tech for grabbing a Purdue players arm during play.
I didn't see the game, but NW was probably overdue for some home cooking, which some of the other teams in the B1G get pretty regularly, including Purdon't.
A coach should never touch an opposing player on the floor during a live ball. But they got their home cooking. Oof
