[Marsh01]

ooof

Big 10 basketball cures insomnia.

 

[Cusefannotindc]

Mike Tirico just refered to it as a pillow fight.

 

[stuckinbig11]

How about Wisconsin and Penn State?

 

[Marsh01]

Best conference in America huh?

 

[Ghost]

Imagine if Notre Dame played their stall ball against some Big 10 teams...final score might be 20-18. Don't know which is worse, Notre Dame trying to score 50 and win, or these teams that can barely score 50 no matter how much they try to score.

I don't know though, usually I love killing the Big 10 but the BE is putting up plenty of stinkers this year as well.

 

[Ghost]

They have found so many interesting ways not to score this game - I'll give both teams credit for that.

 

[skurey]

We've reached 40!

 

[Upstate]

I'm pretty sure Illinois just went on the longest scoring streak of the game by hitting a 3

 

['72 Orange]

The only way both teams crack 50 if they go to double OT!

 

[Ghost]

Tirico is killing me...he must mention how ugly this game is every 15 seconds.

Threes up near the top of the backboard, missed dunks, shots that appear to be aimed directly at the front of the rim (most shots actually)...this game is awesome.

 

[NKR1978]

40-40 with 45.5 left? Dear god.

 

[Ghost]

This is insane - it's like nobody has ever shot a basketball before. Not a single shot from more than 5 feet away is even CLOSE to going in.

NOT EVEN CLOSE. It's bananas.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Just turned on the game it was 40-42 with like 30 seconds left. Holy you gotta be kidding me, just awful. Can you imagine if this was SU, this place would be a war zone.

 

[Marsh01]

The over under was 130...130!!!!

 

[Ghost]

The over under was 130...130!!!!

Adios! 130???

 

[Marsh01]

Adios! 130???

I have 130. MSU a 1.5 favorite. Had they made that shot Illinois would have covered by a half a point.

 

[Meatball56]

Laughable, what an awful game

 

[orangehomer]

this game is a great example why some of the computer predictors are BS. all of these big ten teams are going to have these inflated defensive efficiencies because the teams in the conference play TERRIBLE offense. i think that might have been the worst major college game i have ever seen. what a nightmare for michigan state.

 

[Meatball56]

And Sparty was -1.5.

Oops...

 

[Ghost]

Even that final shot from a foot away on the drive was just centimeters away from being an airball.

Bravo Illinois and Michigan State, very compelling television.

Didn't the B1G play a game in the 30's last year?

Penn State beat Wisconsin 36-33 in a Big 10 tournament game last year. I cant believe I even typed that.

 

[Marsh01]

How about Wisconsin and Penn State?

Jesus...36-30. Penn State has 7 second half points in 14 minutes.

It's like Bo Ryan thought "*** you Izzo. This is my game."
