Okay ...

and

hello

Big10 wise thank goodness for Maryland, the rest being Wisky are shit

[hack]

Sparty goes down at home to Maryland; Sparty in stands misspells the word "united" on a sign (unided), and the sign is going viral. The cherry on top of an already great day.

LOL, it's still probably the best conference top to bottom. Just because teams like Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, etc aren't ranked doesn't mean they're not tourney teams. Wisky, Maryland, OSU, MSU, Mich, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa all are decent shots to make it to locks, not in that order. Teams like Purdue and Illinois are going to be trouble for the top teams. Compare it to any other conference and it stacks up just fine. Way better than "shit".

can't rebound and not hustling on D... team doesn't have the magic it had last year. Too much pressure? Not sure, but they're not good

[WM Wolverine]

Same issues here, talent has really fallen off with the early entries.

[entropy]

Our team defense is poor. Last year guys took pride in it. Same guys this year our watching. On the ball defense isn't bad. But nobody is helping. Too many layups

As Loving goes, OSU goes, IMO.

[iam416]

Getting out of that zone and to man is a huge plus. Reducing Amir minutes is a huge plus.

They need both DAR and Loving.

[The Oracle]

Well, I'm just assuming Russell always has it going.

[iam416]

No, not really. Generally the team has it going against crappy teams and is stink on ice against decent teams. And whether they play zone or man, the defense is awful. At least with man Amir is only guilty of playing awful help defense as opposed to zone where he is awful on help and never checks anyone out.

[The Oracle]

Troy Williams is going to be a problem for everybody these next few years. If he develops a 3 ball, it's over.

[iam416]

Yeah. He's a real f'n problem.
