Most Want to Beat

[zebnatto]

Do you have a "most want to beat" basketball team in the B1G? Tough one, I know.

Indiana (just for their arrogance and clown pants)
Michigan (mostly for JH and our history against them)
Iowa (for McCaffrey)

 

[SJScarlet]

Wisconsin, as they are largely trash humans

 

[zebnatto]

Wisconsin, as they are largely trash humans

That's a good reason.

 

[High Quality H2O]

All of them.

+Maryland/Willard

 

[ruinac]

Unlike with FB the MBB doesn’t have to prove itself in the B1G anymore. There aren’t any teams that RU needs to beat.

 

[BellyFullOfWhiteDogCrap]

Iowa and Michigan

 

[REDRICH65]

Maryland. They are our rival

 

[bethlehemfan]

All of them.

Agree. I hate all of them. Just in different ways.

 

[RedTeam1994]

Penn state

Only because any PSU loss is a win for humanity

Good list.

 

[NickRU714]

Seton Hall and there truly isn’t another answer.
Give me a break with this Big Ten jonny come lately hate.

 

[hinson32]

Maryland. They are our rival

No they are not.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Right now, it's Ohio State on Thursday night. Ask again in a week, and it will probably be Purdue on January 2.

Read the OP again

 

[Rufans]

Michigan
Michigan State

We have only two wins over MSU and only one versus Michigan

 

[RU82]

I most want to beat the first place team in the league whichever team that is.

 

[RUnTeX]

Michigan (mostly for JW and our history against them)

JW? Help me out. My best guess is Howard, the coach, but that would be JH.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

The game and team on the schedule that will clinch 1st place in the B1G.

 

[zebnatto]

JW? Help me out. My best guess is Howard, the coach, but that would be JH.

My bad. I’ll fix.

 

[RUChoppin]

Iowa.

And maybe Indiana, since it's now become a tradition.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Seton Hall and there truly isn’t another answer.

Seton hall is irrelevant imo

 

[Rokodesh]

Michigan and Ohio state

Sure beating seton hall is cool (certainly more so than any other non-BIG team) but with each passing year it gets less important

And, really, since they are non-conference the only real significance is how it affects our NET, etc. they are actually no more or less important than any other non-conf team

 

[Scarlet Shack]

The one that I really despise are

-Penn state

-Michigan

-Iowa (because of Fran )

 

[bac2therac]

At Purdue

Is this parody?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Michigan, Michigan, and then Michigan again.

 

[Knight Ed]

At Purdue

Agreed. Beat the best at their place.

 

[zappaa]

I’m boring, I only care about the next game

 

[Unionst]

At Purdue

Been there, done that.

 

[bac2therac]

Been there, done that.

Not while they are AP top 3 on Jan 2

 

[colbert17]

I want to beat anyone they put in front of us in the NCAA tournament....and again....and again....and again....and again....and again.

 

[jordkap]

Iowa.

And maybe Indiana, since it's now become a tradition.

Honestly, beating Indiana continuously is hilarious to me. Went into the game the other day expecting a win.

 

[Scangg]

It's hard to pick Indiana as a "want" to beat since we always beat them. They are the most fun to beat though. Especially since they still somehow seem to expect to win and are still arrogant

Michigan and coach slappy I really want to beat now

Beating Iowa is awesome to watch Fran freak out

The options are endless though. Beating Purdue this year would be the most impactful as a resume builder due to their ranking

 

[Danprusa_4]

Every single one except Purdue we’ll let them slide every now and than

 

[Night Man]

I'll give top 3
1. Indiana - never gets old. Has been getting funnier each time.
2. Michigan - fan arrogance (albeit a chill arrogance) + now under Juwan they've taken on a weird unnecessary hair-trigger mentality, cheap shots, near brawls, brawls + very poor historical record against them
3. Michigan State - the standard in this league, any time you beat them in a good year or stomp them in an off year... 👀

 

[knight82]

Every damn one of them

 

[knight82]

I’m boring, I only care about the next game

Then Ohio State it is

 

[RUHouston]
