B1G Championship Game

[zebnatto]

One thing for sure, we haven’t caught up in the recruiting battles.

What's another 5 min after 30 years?

True. At this point they have two brackets ready to release pending the outcome of this game.

 

[MadRU]

Not a great shot selection from Ayo at the end

Not even close to compete at the top in this league. Gonna need a step up just to stay in middle third and not fall back to bottom third.

Ohio state is a more likable team imo. Hard to say but true.

 

[zebnatto]

Ridiculous game for OSU's Washington.

Do these teams run an offense? Seems like a bunch of high ball screens then penetration or pull up.

. . . or kick out.

That is their offense.

This has always been a problem in CBB and especially in MM.
No offense is run and the end of game play is "iso and chuck up a long contested 3" (see all the "great" Geo plays from last year).

Getting to be bad in the NBA as well.

Regardless of how many points you are down, everyone wants the buzzer beater deep 3 to win.

Watch how often it happens in the Tournament next week.

 

[RUJMM78]

Washington should be taking all the shots.

 

[bac2therac]

OSU blinked first

 

[FIJI'83]

OSU wins if Young was available

 

[zebnatto]

What a game!

 

[MusicFreaks]

agreed - still a GREAT game tho. Illinois might be my pick to win it all. They're GOOOD!!!!

I think we need to play in NCAA tournement before we can start even thinking about winning recruiting battles against perennial big 10 powers.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

So 6pm end the game we need to get our seed. I bet they go triple OT

 

[bac2therac]

Congrats Illinois .they deserve it.

 

[blockm2]

anybody still think this game means anything for seeding?

 

[IL Lusciato]

Illinois really annoys me.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

End. Faster.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Cmon B1G officials. Hurry this up.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

I love how holtmann has his mask on with no one around him then takes it off when his players come to the huddle. Obviously not taking covid seriously.

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Game

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

U didn’t have to foul him

 

[dvb91]

Damn, foul call there for OSU? Get this over with.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Thank god they spread the chairs out so they could social distamce

 

[RUJMM78]

91-88 Illinois wins.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Illinois really annoys me.

Detest them.

I'm amazed at the number of teams I've seen blow games or nearly blow games with what should be a comfortable lead in the final minutes. I get you want to run clock down, but why stop running your offense?

Having your point guard dribble the ball beyond the top of the key for 21 of the 30 seconds, then try to penetrate through a wall of defenders before throwing up a desperation brick is not running your offense. Hell, I can coach that play for a lot less than the $2 million a lot of these coaches are making.
