13. Rutgers
14. Illinois

IU will be overrated all year. They have no shooters and will play a slow, plodding style of offense that won't allow Romeo to display his full skill set (he's overrated too BTW). Morgan will be good but other than that I think they'll be a pretty similar team to last year and Purdue will sweep them.

So is your post about the B1G. ......or did you really want to talk about a downtrodden iu program and Purdue dominating them again?

I can't remember. Did you post this in the BT off season thread on the National Board? I don't care enough to do a search back thru the 102 or so pages,but I imagine some of the names people called you and the comments they made would be pretty interesting to read.

I'd eat my left foot if Penn State finishes 5th in the conference next year. Let alone ahead of Purdue. If Chambers couldn't win with a All-B1G first team PG, what makes you think they're better this year without him?

Hey, l don't know.... just looking @ # of returning stars & defense....they should be good. Had them 9th, but moved them way up because two of those returning players were on the B1G all defensive team.
 
3 teams I like as much as any

Tier 1
Michigan, Purdue, Nebraska

Nebraska top 4 players are either the best or 2nd best in the conference
Michigan returns great defenders in Zavier Simpson, Charles Mathews, and Teske. So they should be able to build yet another great defense to go along with a Beilein offense
Purdue returns 3 of their top 4 defenders according to the numbers in Carsen, Nojel, and HAARMS. Carsen was one of the best / mosy efficient PnR players in the nation last year so the offense should be good with him

Tier 2
Most talented team in the conference is Maryland but I do question their coaching so going to just stick them at 4 knowing full well they could win the conference. I think their frosh are going to be great. Wiggins is my guess for Frosh of the year, especially now with him getting Huerters minutes.

Still,
BRUNO
Jalen Smith
Wiggins
Ayala
Cowan

Is a talented starting 5 with Morsell able to slot in at a spot or come off the bench as well. Had Huerter returned, I think you'e
talking about a top 10 team in the nation



Wisconsin And Iowa should both be much improved and be strong teams to compete for tournament bids. Iowa has so much offensive talent but Fran really needs to figure out defense.

But at the end of the day, Iowa boasts talents in

Tyler Cook
Jordan Bohannon
Luka Garza

They bring in a talented scorer in Wieskamp. They have do everything Nicholas Baer again. I mean, the talent suggests they should challenge for the league crown this year. If Fran has a healthy team all year and still doesn't make the tournament this year, I think I'm ready to permanently write him off as a coach.

Ethan Happ will probably lead Wisconsin in every major statistical category again, but he needs some of the guards to step up and hit those open 3s he generates so often for teammates. They have potential to come out of nowhere and have an elite offense ala Purdue this year if guys can simply shoot 3s around Happ because you can't really guard him one on one or he will punish you.

At the end of the day, the conference champion should come from my first 6 teams
Maryland/Michigan/Purdue/Nebraska/Wisconsin/Iowa. If someone else ends up winning it, it will be a surprise on the level of Ohio State going 15-3 this season.

Tier 3

Who knows what to do with Ohio State? Ohio State has a solid team and a good coach, so really don't want to drop them too far. Bring in a nice frosh SG who should add shooting to a lineup that has a good point guard and efficient post scorer.


Northwestern was set to be a potential tournament team until they lost their pointguard a coupleof weeks ago. They have talented and versatile wings with a good big in Pardon, and they lose inefficient on offense/bad at defense players in Bryant Mcintosh and Scottie Lindsey which should help on both sides of the ball, but they have no lead guard so hard to be too optimistic about them.


Indiana should be better than last season, whether that translates to a tournament bid or not remains to be seen. If they can shoot decent or better from 3, they have a chance here but it's hard to find where that shooting will come from on that roster considering most of their returners range from bad to awful in 3 point % and their two frosh guards shot 35% in their hs career from behind the arc.

Michigan State projects to start 4 bad defenders so their ceiling defensively is basically decent defense with a range out to terrible defensively. If Izzo has talented frosh and he replaces Langford and Mcquaid altogether, they could move up this list. Hard to see them being anywhere above middle of the pack if Langford and Mcquaid play huge minutes though. Cassius and Nick Ward are as talented an offensive duo this league has though. They really need to figure out a way to get them more shots and Langford less shots. Langford was second on the team last year in field goal attempts. On a team with 4 offensive dynamos like Miles Bridges, JJJ, Ward, and Cassius, that is just inexcusable from Izzo and this team doesn't have the talent to survive a mistake as costly as that this year unless he runs insanely hot from those midrange 2 point jumpers he fell in love with (nearly 50% of his attempts were 2 point jumpers!)

Minnesota returns some really good players but I can't figure out whether they'll be in the tournament or bottom of the barrel. Their sophomore guard Isiah Washington is a legitimate dark horse contender for all conference if he can improve decision making, I think. Ultimately, I don't know though. Hard to peg them. Could have a double dye in the B1G tournament or could be bottom 4 and playing on the first day.

Illinois may outscore some teams with their guards but have no frontcourt options as of right now so will probably get killed on the boards and defensively. I do expect them to have a top 30 offense though that will win some games for them that nobody expects them to win.

Penn State is on the brink of losing their rim protector and board man at center in Mike Watkins so I have no clue where to slot them besides towards the bottom

Nobody took a smaller % of their attempts from behind the 3 point line last year than Rutgers. One of the reasons they were so bad is because they're still lagging behind while everyone else is attempting more 3s. Hard to be optimistic about a coach whose offense is so poorly executed so I'm going to stick Rutgers dead last and not think twice about it.
 
Same as I posted a couple weeks ago in the other thread asking the same thing:

1. Michigan
2. Purdue (Boogie-Player of the Year)
3. IU
4. MSU
5. Nebraska
6. OSU
7. Maryland
8. Wisconsin
9. Penn State

Morgan will be good but other than that I think they'll be a pretty similar team to last year and Purdue will sweep them.

Top 7 are the best teams with little separation. Lots of teams with similar records of 4, 5, and 6 losses. It will come down to schedule, but I don't have time to look that up.

Nebraska and Minny are the sleepers.

I think Ohio State will suck:)

10-14 is a toss up.

-Michigan is loaded.
-MSU still has Izzo and a bunch of talent.
-Maryland is probably the most talented, but seem to struggle in the road.
-Wisconsin and OSU are always tough, talented, and well coached.
-IU has the best player in the conference and he'll carry them to a pretty good season.
-Purdue is well coached, disciplined, and returns a very good defense and cold blooded killer in CE.

Purdue gonna be better than you think watched them practice gonna surprise many

I agree with Treed. Carsen, Nojel, EB will all make 3rd team or higher B1G, personally I think we will have one or two on the first team, I know, I had a big glass of Boiler Kool-Aid a little bit ago, with all this nba experience they had, is gonna be an tremendous help
 
Who looks the most impressive in practices or pick-up games?
They all look good Evan gonna be good gonna be a load to handle Aaron gonna rise up shot looks good Eric crafty and quick Tre gonna surprise some can shoot just gotta get adjusted to college Dow a freak just gotta adjust to college Sasha can shoot Cline gonna have a good senior year carsen is a goon and Nojel well his time has come he ready to show his skills major improvementts. Chemistry is shaping an athletic and speedy bunch that knows they are being counted out bcuz of what was lost and they all are ready for that challenge. I’m excited

I hope your right. I will say, that unlike last years team, and most Purdue teams, I think this year club will start slow, but come on strong towards the end of the year. We are so athletic that if Painter can get them boys on the same page like Michigan did towards the end of last year, we could be a very dangerous team come February/March.

Carsen Edwards is the best player in the conference.

I was right last year when I said team will surprise ppl and they did this is no different this team has a little bit of experience and tons of young talent with athleticism and speed with size and shooting to match. They may not have the experience of seniors but they have 3/4 who have big 10 and Ncaa and sweet 16 experience that will help going into the season. Just don’t count them out they all on same page ready to battle as a TEAM.

I'm not saying you won't be right. I also said Purdue will surprise people last year. The cards lined up perfectly. With everybody returning except biggie, it was a no brainer. But when you lose the spine of your team, it takes a while to get things right. They may gel in practice, but this young team hasn't faced adversity yet. I think they'll struggle early on, maybe lose a game or 2 they shouldn't, lose to road games in the big ten that they shouldn't. But if they can get over the hump without too many bad losesl, they have the athleticism to be FF contenders.
 
I've seen this sad song before. We lost AJ, the defensive POY. How can we compete next year? OMG, we lost Biggie, the BIG POY, how can we compete next year?

Now it is we lost the 4 seniors that won 30 games, how can we compete next year? I read this stuff and it makes me sorry for the people that just don't understand college athletics.

Every year, you have turn over of your team. That is just the way it works - for every team. Sometimes it is a bad thing, sometimes a good thing. With Matt Painter, his teams seem to improve every year since we had the recruiting financial restrictions lifted. Frankly, I can't wait for the 2018 version of the "Boilermaker Steam Roller" to be unleashed on the college basketball world. We are going to surprise a whole lot of people.

By the way, I lay claim to the phase "Boilermaker Steam Roller". :cool:

This new version Purdue basketball is gonna shock many indeed they may not have the experience of 4 seniors who were all great and left a foot print of what it takes to win and help put Purdue on the MAP but there is a new breed of talent that is ready to shake up the big 10 and college basketball period. Remember that guy Carsem the consensus POY and that’s likely gonna get most pre season awards well he got a supporting cast around him that’s ready to battle with that young bull he won’t be alone he got some other goons to battle with him so this young athletic speedy skilled group that most are over looking bcuz of what was lost all ready each of them to do all they can to prove the critics analysts and anybody that doubt them wrong.
 
So since those of us that "dont understand college athletics" think we will be taking a step back, are you expecting similar results to this year?
Actually, yes. I expect a top 3 finish in the BIG, and a S16 NCAA run. If the Gods of chance are with us we might get further in the NCAA's, but that is really not predictable now.

Carsen is going to feast on many teams, and those he struggles with will have to deal with Boudreaux and Wheeler. Yep, I'm bullish on next year's squad.
