A lot of Big 10 love in the preseason rankings.

I saw where Loyola Chicago beat Bucky by 15 in an exhibition game somewhere.

What is bucky going to have this year?

Big 10 appears to be loaded this year. Hopeful Indiana can get in the tournament and take a step forward with the new coach. But maybe a rough go with so many good teams

To be honest, I don't know. I really follow Arkansas much closer than I do Bucky.

More excited than ever. Purdue is the best team in my lifetime.

Furst is going to be a stud. Really like his game.

Big Ten title and Final 4 appearance or bust!

And Illinois is still better? Damn, that's shit luck

Yeah Illinois isn't as good as they are being ranked to start the year. They are getting hype for Kofi coming back.

They have no one to take Ayo's role and losing Miller is going to hurt more than they realize.

Purdue and Michigan are the class of the big 10 right now.

Arkansas just landed a 2nd 5star recruit for next year. Things looking up in Fayetville.

Illinois still has the Puerto Rican kid point guard who is looking like a higher draft pick than Ayo.

after last year didn't you people learn that the Big10 sucks no matter how good it looks during the regular season?

Correct and I believe still waiting on more possibly out of Texas.

After Illinoi's non NCAA run last year I'm not getting excited

Ramblers have everyone coming back but Krutwig. They will be a different team without him but not necessarily worse. This is Kennedy’s year to shine

But, everyone seems to be sleeping in drake. Sure they lost yessufu but they bring back everyone else including the guy who was starting over yessefu before he got hurt. The short handed team made the tourney at large and won a game. I think they are a top 20 this year

Illini ranked too high, without Dosunmo

Thought I saw that Cockburn has to sit 3 games for selling some of his gear before legally able to accept money. I’m looking forward to the season but not convinced this team has the on court leadership to be a top notch team

Loyola also lost Moser so that will be an interesting thing to watch. Moser really had those teams playing at a high level with a great attention to detail.

He did but I have trust in Valentine. He was in charge of defense, which has really been the hallmark of Loyola.

Word is that Loyola smoked Wisconsin in a private scrimmage.

Wisconsin also didn't play their top freshman guards. Those scrimmages are so controlled that you can't put much stock in them.

yea I was fooled by the Big10 like everyone else was. The tournament showed us what a shit conference it really was.

Not getting fooled again.

that's why you never watch a sporting event live. Being able to fast forward through all the bullshit is the only way I can watch games. I don't plan to hear a single positive comment said about Coach K this year if I can help it.




As for the games last night.....Paolo Banchero looks legit AF.

Chet had a monster game vs a crap team. Can't wait to see Chet in action Saturday vs Texas.

Villanova/UCLA has been...what's that emoji, fire? yeah.

Great finish by UCLA
