Big 10 Basketball. It's FAN-tastic!

Talk about an offensively challenged conference. Penn State only scored 38 points today. And won! Illinois only scored 33. That's right, your final score: Penn State 38, Illinois 33.

I really hate the Big 10.

i don't watch enough B10 to know...do they claim to be a defensive league? good lord... that's like a HS final score.

IL shot 0 FT's. Is that real or is the box score off?

I think the 1927 game between these two powerhouses had a higher result.

How does a top 25 team fail to break 40 points TWICE in a season???? They lost to Minnesota 59-36 at the end of January. The badger fans call these type of games good basketball. I call it mind numbing.

Illinois' rpi was 15, nine spots ahead of MU. The Big 10 is rated ahead of the Big East. Obviously the computer has never seen a game!

I just told my wife about this story. Her response: "I could score 38!"

Did they turn off the shot clock?

That's Big Ten basketball. Just hard nose defense (kidding BTW)

Between the shot clock and the three point line, I honestly would not have imagined that a 38-33 score was possible. Even after typing it, I don't believe it. I don't.

jficke13 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 18, 2009, 10:27:38 PM »

the best part of this is that that kind of score for a little-11 matchup isn't even a little surprising.

I don't know, I expect Big Ten games to cover 80 points at least.

Doug Gottlieb yesterday said the Big Ten was going to institute some cost cutting measures due to the economic climate we are in. Essentially, they were going to remove the third digit from the scoreboard as no Big Ten game will ever reach 100 points.

Great defense my ass.....My 5 year old nephew won't score a point on me so that must mean I can play great defense.....c'mon Lebron bring it on!!!

augoman · « **Reply #29 on:** February 19, 2009, 12:03:45 AM »

interested to know what the field goal percentages were..., how many turn overs, steals and so on. By the way, tonight I watched Northwestern beat Ohio State in a game that almost doubles the PSU/IL score. And NW slows down the game as much as possible, shooting only at the expiration of the shot clock.

so glad i didnt actually watch this game. unless i'm at my little cousin's basketball game, i dont think i handle watching a game where neither team scored over 40! pathetic!

nyg · « **Reply #31 on:** February 19, 2009, 05:22:46 AM »

Buzz should use this game, along with other Big Ten games last week scoring in the 40's, as a recruiting tool. "Do you really want to play like this"????

PSU: 28% FG, 13TO, 8steals

Ill 30% FG, 15 TO, 3 steals

PSU had only 8 fouls, which is impressive.

Not really. With a bunch of big slow white guys standing around until the shot clock expires there aren't going to be a lot of fouls.

I'd pit a MU student team comprised of all of the winners of the musical chairs layup game from halftime against any team in the Big 11. At least we know those kids can run the court and make a layup.

Even the watching the "good" BigTen teams play--that Purdue/MichSt. game the other day comes to mind--makes me want to claw my eyes out. The games are just ugly, physical, cage matches, with countless bricked shots.

Pretty sure a lineup of Acker, Cubillan, Fulce, Hazel, and Otule could have hung 40 up last night.

And given up 50.

But seriously, what was the halftime score of the UW/MSU game when UW made the final four? 19-17? That was an offensive *explosion* compared to last night's game. How do two "major" college basketball teams not manage to score at least a point a minute?

Could it possibly have been worse? Shoot from midcourt on every possession and you will hit 11 in 40 minutes
