I think Michigan and OSU are clearly teams 3 and 4 this year.

Yes.  And I'm starting to believe they could take out Gonzaga or Baylor which concerns me.  I'm hoping for the streak of no hoops title since 2000. to continue for the B14.

Sparty won in 2000.   But your larger point holds.

The B10 may not win a title this year, but between Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois, and Iowa they have some serious contenders.

That game today was really high quality. Great shooting and only 15 total turnovers, and it’s not because these teams are not capable of playing defense.

Was fun and reminiscent of what the game used to look like on a regular basis when top teams played.

It was interesting Blue.  Dickinson couldn't guard Liddell and Liddell couldn't guard Dickinson.  I think HD could stay at Mich for 4 yrs..... he's not a stretch 5.  He's a big prob (no pun intended) for future opponents.  And if he plays well in the tournament they very well could win the whole thing.

You don't count 2002 Maryland?  ;)

Anyway, the B10 is 0-7 since MSU's victory.

I think I read somewhere that his next year’s recruiting class is ranked #1.

Juwan Howard is in his 2nd year at #3 Michigan.
Chris Holtmann is in his 4th year at #4 Ohio St.
Brad Underwood is in his 4th year at #5 Illinois.

Getting a single vote in the top 25 in your first four years is not as impossible as some people have made it out to be.

Your hero's last 2 minutes tonight was a microcosm of his last two months in a Marquette uniform. Three turnovers, each more careless than the one before, a brick of a 3 attempt, got killed on D, his team loses. But hey, Joey almost scored twice as many points as he had turnovers, so not a bad night all in all.

It would be nice if you liked any Marquette players from the last two seasons half as much as you like the failed traitor who pi$$ed on your alma mater ... but ewe bee ewe, Doc!

Anything can happen in the tournament Dr.
B  but I think Mich and OSU are significantly better than Iowa.  Much better defensively, far more overall athleticism and quickness.

Michigan and OSU have better wins and more consistent overall performances. Iowa plays no defense and doesn’t just go cold from game to game, in game they vanish at times. Iowa is more likely to miss the second weekend than make a deep run IMO.

Michigan is gonna be really tough moving forward but they are gonna REALLY miss Wagner and Smith next year. Smith is unreal running that team and playing them under control. Wagner may be the most underrated player in the country.

Some in Ann Arbor think Smith may be back next year

Anything is possible in the tournament but I don’t agree with this.  Lot of second round loss energy from a team that plays no defense.  I think some of the T-Rank comps had a lot of teams that got bounced early as being similar to Iowa

Agree.

Great offense can sometimes grab an unexpected win or two in March when the team gets hot...but great defense more often leads to deep runs.

If they played even top-50ish defense, I’d be more bullish.  Very reminiscent of a local team circa 2017.  Iowa is better but I won’t be surprised if they get run off the court on the opening weekend

Good comparison, and I'm not even sure Iowa is much better.

Pitino said Iona is shutting down their regular season due to Covid and not having enough players. Like their coach, it sounds like the players were not using adequate protection.
