B1G showing out

[proudopete]

Good showing for the B1G yesterday as Purdue takes down #2 Alabama and Wisconsin puts up over 100 against #9 Arizona.

Should be another fun season in conference as it appears to be a wide open year in the league.

Seems the procrastinators knew a little something when they picked Purdue to win the league. It should be interesting to see who is right there with us.

Nice win for Wisconsin. It's nice to see one of the teams not shelling out NIL left and right having some success early.

Illinois plays Alabama next week. I'm glad we were able to play them first. Wouldn't want to see a team with as much talent as 'Bama coming off an L. Good luck Illini😂

I almost forgot but Maryland looked pretty good too in a close loss to #15 Marquette.

Should be a good game Tuesday.

We also play them in Birmingham (with our return game at the United Center next year), so it’ll pretty much be their home game to rebound … not expecting a win, lol.

Queen is the real deal and Gillespie is a very good guard.

Marquette will also be tough on Tuesday. Cam Jones is a helluva guard and there are also other good players around him. What a way for this team to be tested in their first road game of the season 😂

That is a tough draw. Purdue was lucky to get them in Mackey this year and the travel to Alabama next year when all their Covid Srs years are gone.

The good think about Marquette is they appear softer than us inside. And after last night we didn't look as soft.

Jones might be best guard we see all year?

Win or lose the team will get better. So glad Painter schedules tough.

But we have to go to Birmingham this year and play Auburn with their 5th year Covid seniors 😂

Wisconsin got a scorer in the well traveled Tonje. 41 last night. Was the guy out there. But team shot over 40% from 3 and scored over 100.

Tonje looks like a talent, but let's hope the 41 was the extreme outlier for the season. See if he can do that vs. Harris, Cox & Colvin? Doubtful.

Prognosticators?

I have tickets to this game as it’s only a couple hours away. I’m hoping for a win but the way they swarm on defense, it could get ugly.

Auburn is not in Birmingham. It's about 100 miles SE of Birmingham.

Right. I think it’s the same venue that Illinois plays Alabama in.

Wisconsin turned that game into an old fashioned Big Ten game and took Arizona to the woodshed. On the strength of 23-26 FT's in the first half, they built a 49-31 advantage. Arizona made a couple of runs and actually tied it up in the 2nd half, but the Badgers finished them off anyway.

"The game featured a combined 63 fouls (32 by Arizona) and 87 free throws. Wisconsin was 41 of 47 from the line. Arizona was 28 of 40."

That’s how Wisconsins one guy had 41…but yeah heard it was a foul on every possession it seemed and both teams were very undisciplined on defense

Wisky looked really good last night, Camp Randall will be on fire for a night game vs the Ducks tonight. Thought Marquette looked like a height challenged team , we should be able to take care of business vs them unless we have TO issues
