Purdue -5.5

I know Mackey is a big advantage but that's a big number. Wisconsin's offense is scary.
Pretty much exactly what Torvik has (76-71), 69% probability of a win for you guys.

While UW is usually fairly good at protecting the ball, I expect you guys to have some success in that area. Other teams that concentrate on turning you over - namely, Marquette, UCLA, and Maryland - all were able to turn UW over. Those were all Ls for us (also all on the road, as is tomorrow). We don't start any true PGs (McGee is a PG, but 6th man).

We don't win in Mackey. Oh, there's some reason for hope, but we all kinda know what's likely to happen.

Purdue -5.5

I think this team comes out pissed off and proves a point. We have shown the ability to bounce back after loses.

Need TKR to step up and stop with the stupid fouls.

Colvin/Heide - figure out this slump or give Waddell a chance. Those two need to see some shots drop and figure out ways to contribute with points.

Anyone from the bench to contribute in the scoring column. Can’t have them serving up 0s

The uniforms of our troops will no longer be soiled and desecrated by transgender freaks.

Are you aware of any specifics?

It's the same issues that you have with "transgender women" on girls' sports teams, using women's locker rooms, bathrooms, etc, except far worse because they actually live together 24/7. The Army barracks that we had in Vicenza, Italy had four soldiers per room. Does the transgender woman share a room with three other female soldiers? Men’s and women’s latrines . . . . . ??? There are different height, weight and Physical Training standards (push-ups, 2-mile run, etc.) for men and women. Which apply?

I know this is a lazy reply, but do we know when Izzo had his best run? I feel like CMP is right on the cusp of doing the same. Yes, we didn't win it all but we got there. We are expected to be there every year it seems. He has us an a special place and that's comforting.
I'd say it was his years 4 thru 6. Three straight B1G titles, a 93-17 record, a National Championship and 2 more Final Fours. Pretty damn impressive.

it never ends

These schools have no accountability for there budgets. It’s always for the kids, extortion for the taxpayers.

My son attaches at a school where they throw money around like it’s garbage. They bought a luxury bus just to transport the athletic teams to the games. The yellow school bus was not good enough. I could go on and on, but it just makes me disgusted.

Does anyone know if the refs ever review game films?

They are supposed to review the teams they are reffing ahead of the game. Helps them see tendencies and understand the flow.

Should the league review games after and make decisions to stop using refs because of terrible calls? 100%. Do they? Absolutely not.

The B1G won’t win a NCAA title until we start demanding the best refs for our games, especially the elite of the conference.

The art of the deal

The reason that Russia invaded Ukraine was that Biden foolishly signed an agreement that would allow Ukraine to join NATO (link). The far-left news media won't report this but the WSJ did. For years Putin had warned that any former Warsaw Pact nation joining NATO would be an act of war. That's exactly what happened.

To end the war in Ukraine, we need to reverse the stupidity of Biden and refuse to allow Ukraine admission to NATO.

If there were no war, there would be no money sent

Assume you're a soldier that is going to fly with your platoon on a combat mission on a Black Hawk. Do you want the pilot to be some brain-addled transgender freak with a lifelong simmering loathing for straight people?
I would think anything that could cause moral loss could be detrimental, but I'll defer to those that have actually been there. I know a few and they don't want trannies in the military. Many years ago while tailgating at a ND football game I was talking to a general that had just retired and told me many others were considering the same thing. I know it had something to do with Obama, but can't recall anything specific. Are you aware of any specifics?

These folks need society to not be Richards to them. And even if they don’t change their self opinion but stay in the armed forces - butch ladies in a ladies’ unit, effeminate guys in the mens unit - if they’re strong enough and capable enough and mission-focused then they belong, would you not agree?

The trump admin says Russia doesn't have to give back territory gained in the illegal invasion and NATO membership for Ukraine won't happen. Good job lol.

IU's Next BB Coach is

No, Tom Izzo currently holds the record at 26.

Krzyzewski had 24 and Smith had 23. Think Knight's longest streak was the last part of his tenure - '86 - '00 (15 years).

You have Self and Few I think as the next longest who are active coaches.

Impressive for all of them. I think the only realistic knock on Izzo's tournament record is his Final Four record of 3-7, lost six times in the semi-finals.....but hey, you get there eight times and at least win one - that's a helluva job in most people's view....

26 consecutive tournaments might be the most impressive thing, to me. Did Coach K , Dean Smith, or Knight even do that ?

No, Tom Izzo currently holds the record at 26.

Krzyzewski had 24 and Smith had 23. Think Knight's longest streak was the last part of his tenure - '86 - '00 (15 years). Indiana was at least in the NIT in '79 and '85, IIRC.
