I think Nebraska not making the BTT eliminates Williams from being 1st team.

I really don't have a good feel for it this year. But if the OP is correct, that would mean MSU won the conference without any 1st or 2nd team players.

Tex: Has that ever happened before??

 

[Old Gold n Black]

Any votes for the most despicable B10 player of the year? My vote goes to Tre Holloman. The kid is a straight up punk. Max Klesmit is a distant second.

Goldin. Easy.

 

[Old Gold n Black]

Goldin. Easy.

Which is more despicable...Goldin himself, or the refs' apparent man crush on him? For some reason they always take the bait.

But, yeah. Vlad Goldin...yuck.

Goldin is an embarrassment to basketball. Flops so much…dude is 7 ft 250 and acts like he’s shot in the face any time he hears footsteps. He’s easily number 1.

Agree with Klesmit right behind him.

I like Holloman, he at least backs it up.

I thought the same thing about Holloman when the season was young. But man, lately? He's become quite cocky and an instigator. Did you catch the tussle at the end of the MSU-UM game? Someone needs to punch Holloman in the face.

 

[Dryfly88]

Holloman = typical MSU punk. Add him to the list....

Maybe Goldin has been watching LeFlop......

Dusty May's post-game comments were worse.

Goldin takes it to a new level, IMO.

Has LeBron ever fouled a guy going for a dunk and somehow baited the refs into calling a foul on the guy he just fouled? I'm still pissed about that play, if you haven't noticed.

P.S. In fact that one missed call in the UM game was the difference between us finishing as a 6-seed and a 2-seed. That was the pivotal moment that completely shifted the momentum of that game. If we win in AA, we finish 14-6 and subsequently win the tiebreaker with Maryland to earn a 2-seed in the BTT.

Tried digging around for it, but didn't see anything egregious at first. What did he say?

 

[rgarlitz]

MSU won the league by 3 games. Can't possibly see them getting shut out of the 1st and 2nd team.

D@mn, LeBron... I don't know what was worse: the flop or the dreadful acting.

Don't underestimate that a 4 game skid started there too!

It's a rivalry game. Why wouldn't he feign ignorance? Oh, and Holloman's still a punk.

I have a really hard time seeing Purdue getting two first teamers after being 6th in the conference. Also don't love what that would say about the rest of the roster..

Purdue didn't finish 6th in the conference.

They were tied for 4th. But Purdue has the BTPOTY and the second leading scorer in the conference (Williams was at 20.7 and TKR at 20.5). TKR was also the best big man in the B1G, as well….so I’d say he gets the nod for first team. Unless there was a better big in your opinion?

 

[Chi-Boiler]

I'd rather be Purdue with 2 1st team B1G players and tied for 4th than Rutgers with 2 Top 5 NBA Draftees and a losing record.

Maturity counts when you're trying to win in the B1G. Reminds me of how Juan Howard's 2023 Michigan team missed the NCAA Tournament despite having two first round picks plus Hunter Dickinson. They didn't have a losing record, though.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Tex: Has that ever happened before??

Ha - I was looking at that a little while back, and I don't think so, but then again, something is telling me there maybe was an outlier - Boilerepherine maybe. Certainly not where the champion had a 3-game separation.

Actually, I think Michigan State could have somebody on the second team - there's media and coaches......maybe the coaches do it.

Also, I think Smith just lost out to Ace Baldwin on steals to match Mike Conley's feat of leading in assists and steals.

By 0.1, Tex…and Baldwin played in one less game!

 

[Chi-Boiler]

So technically Smith did get it. 72-71.

The kinda sad thing I noticed when I just looked at our individual stats, that we didn't have anyone in double digits for blocks. TKR leads with 9, 53 for the whole team. Yikes. But Jacobsen had 3 in 26 minutes.

 

[Ihaveswag29]

Purdue didn't finish 6th in the conference.

Kind of semantics, but I'll rephrase it to say we are the sixth seed in the big ten tournament if you don't want to count the tie breakers in our big ten ranking.

I would probably put Garcia above him just because I don't think we will have two players there, even if he might deserve it.
