Indiana at Michigan: If you blink...

[PeteCalvin]

You might not wake up. More stellar basketball courtesy of the BTN. When I last saw the score, Indiana was down 27 - 8 with about 8 left to play in the first. Scorcher.

The only thing it has going for it is Gus Johnson. Dickie V is brutal, I find myself coming back to this one

It is stunning how hard it is to watch a B1G game. Stunning. And yet, they're the highest RPI conference.

Because, among basketball "purists," "offense" is a bad word. There are actually people here who wish we played like that.

But listening to Gus Johnson's over-the-top style announcing in a snoozer like this game is HIGHLY entertaining

There are? Yikes.

In baseball, a low-scoring game is a good thing. In all other sports, I'd like to see some offense.

People who speculated that they would like Brad Stevens to coach here. I'm probably making a loose connection, but that seems the end result.

Yeah, that does seem to be Stevens's preferred style of play. Not a fan.

And is your dislike of big offenses in baseball why you're a Mets fan?

Ha, might some truth to that

I must come clean, and I know I'm in the minority around here, but...
Gus Johnson's schtick is long past tiresome. Really, I can barely stand watching a game he's doing anymore. Just about every time down the court, he tries to make an average play sound like it's the waning seconds of a tied game in the final 4. There's a time and place, Gus...

 

[Knicks411]

The B10 is definitely the worst culprit, but I feel like there have been more games like that this year than ever before. I'd like to see the shot clock cut to 30 at least.

a bunch of mediocre teams calling themselves great get to play each other and claim a tough schedule--just like their football teams
