    B1G hasn’t won in 24 years!

    Missed Illinois in 2005 and Indiana in 2002.

    USC hires Musselman

    TBF, UCLA’s fan support is pretty darn pathetic, too, all things considered.

    NCAA Sweet 16 Thursday Night Discussion Thread

    I hope you’re right, but I’m nervous! I’m honestly just happy to have made it this far. When I was younger, Sweet Sixteen/Elite was great but nothing shocking. Then we went almost 20 years with neither, so it just feels good to be back at this level … beating UConn would be icing on the cake...

    Wake Court-Storming.. Duke Filipowski hurt..

    Decades of players have dealt with it just fine, but it’s now this pressing danger? Soft as hell.

    Weekend Rooting Guide

    They get shockingly bad TV ratings, too. However, their last two big network opponents (MSU and Illinois) have had some of the highest ratings in the league this year, so maybe it has less to do with Maryland.

    OT: Brad Underwood

    He also loves Rutgers and always compliments them.

    Chris Collins just did what every Big Ten CBB fan has wanted to see their coach do

    I get I’m biased, but Edey gets an incredibly friendly whistle compared to a comparable situation with Kofi who also got hacked a lot (what else is anyone going to do?) but got way fewer calls.

    Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 14 Illinois 86-63

    At least you had the decency to type “accused,” because that’s all he is right now if you believe in due process.

    Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 14 Illinois 86-63

    Terrence Shannon, Jr. isn’t a rapist, though.

    Terrence Shannon will likely play Sunday

    And Illinois quite literally did NOT let him take the floor with active charges. I think that's the pretty big significance of the case ... the judge at least attempted to set a precedent that this (at least in one way) denies a player his due process.

    Terrence Shannon will likely play Sunday

    It is certainly a complicated look for the University. I know many will say I am biased, and that's fine ... but I have seen players on plenty of teams I cheer for be charged with crimes over the years and favored their dismissal (or at least suspension) well before a guilty verdict. With that...

    Terrence Shannon will likely play Sunday

    I am not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that the judge considered the potential harm of denying Shannon his presumed evidence until he is proven guilty in a court of law and took into account two scenarios of "harm," so to speak (A and B below). It is also important to remember that this...

    Terrence Shannon will likely play Sunday

    Did you read the ruling at all? Pretty well-reasoned by the judge, regardless of what team you root for or how compelling you feel the evidence (or lack of evidence) is in Shannon's case.

    Illinois @ Purdue

    I didn’t say they didn’t have a long way to go. It’s early January, they haven’t accomplished anything. I said that with TSJ playing I thought they were better, and that they appear to be more effective at responding to when the game plan isn’t going our way (obviously the game plan for games...

    Illinois @ Purdue

    As an Illini fan, I disagree. While that team was humming (e.g., the three games in Indy on the way to a BTT championship), we indeed looked unbelievably good. However, it was WAY worse at adjusting to matchup problems or other things not going our way than this year’s team, so it had the...

    OT: Mizzou vs Illinois ‘Braggin’ Rights’ game extended to 2029

    Missouri has more than one big rivalry. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Illini/Mizzou has been in St. Louis right before Christmas for over 40 years, so it’s definitely developed into a big deal every year.

    OT: Mizzou vs Illinois ‘Braggin’ Rights’ game extended to 2029

    🤣 I check your board every once in a while and was like, “Wait, why is this here?” Seriously, though, this event has an epic atmosphere that is completely unique in college hoops with the crowd split in a neural/shared market. I’d love to see more rivalries in this kind of format if it could...

    OT: Michigan State freshman point guard shot in leg while on holiday break in Illinois

    Joliet has some really bad areas. Sad to hear this. :(

    Daily Tracking the NET: now 102

    Seriously, the “neutral court” designation has NOTHING to do with the makeup of the crowd. It’s just simply that it’s neither team’s true home court.

    Big Ten’s record against Q1 opponents is 8-23

    FWIW, these are the Big Ten games that could qualify as Quad 1 games on a team's schedule this year: Home: #1-30 vs. #4 Purdue vs. #18 Illinois vs. #19 Wisconsin Neutral (BTT): #1-50 vs. #4 Purdue vs. #18 Illinois vs. #19 Wisconsin vs. #35 Ohio State vs. #46 Northwestern Away: #1-75 at #4...
