Good line about Big Ten basketball

[John Kelly]

Big Ten Network hoop analyst Stephen Bardo said, "In this league, you've gotta get old to get good."

Valid point.

The Big Ten is a physical league with a lack of blue-chip talent, so the strong 22 and 23-year-olds have an advantage over the weaker 18 and 19-year-olds.

Not the case at Duke or Kentucky where future NBA stars can dominate the competition within the conference during their freshman seasons.

The Big Ten is a quality league night-in and night-out, though they've failed to win an NCAA championship over the past 20 seasons.

 

[John Kelly]

Big Ten players competing in the NBA are not an impressive lot.

I have Eric Gordon in the backcourt and Draymond Green in the frontcourt.

I'm searching for others to complete my starting five.

 

[John Kelly]

O.G. Anunoby and Victor Oladipo.

duke and kentucky freshman are good fades every yr. low iq players and terrible march game coaches

 

[John Kelly]

Indiana University has produced some of the best NBA players, relative to other Big Ten teams, though the Hoosiers have not been a legitimate national title contender since 2002.

Magic,Isiah,Bird

 

[railbird]

nba should use baseball rules. can only draft players after junior yr

not allowed to draft foreigners

Magic,Isiah,Bird

Jerry Lucas, Rick Mount and Glen Rice.

For good measure, let's throw in John Wooden as our coach.

I was trying to stay in this century, Birdie.

 

[Bucky]

You forgot to mention they usually have the touch of a jack hammer at the free throw line!

Larry Bird did not play in the Big Ten...

Larry Bird did not play in the Big Ten...

RAILBIRD will cite Bird was recruited to Indiana before transferring out in mid-September of his freshman year.

Played in some pick-up games involving Indiana players but never officially played a game in a Hoosiers uniform.

What skills or talent do you need to win at Chicago State? Eligibility and clean drug tests?

What does this have to do with Big Ten Basketball?

 

[TobyTyler]

Rutgers coach Pike will be up for a coach of the year if no injuries

 

[TobyTyler]

Though they just lost their back up frosh big man for cple games it sounds like

D'angelo Russell

He was terrible vs Kansas last week, threw away half dzn possessions with bad shots in 2nd half

 

[John Kelly]

D'angelo Russell

Good call.

Though I've never liked his game.

 

[John Kelly]

Rutgers coach Pike will be up for a coach of the year if no injuries

OUTSTANDING.

 

[John Kelly]

Final score: Ohio State 80 Rutgers 68.

Rutgers collapses over the final eight minutes of the game in Columbus.

A technical foul on Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell with the score tied at 61 did not help.

I started watching the game when Rutgers led 59-51 with about eight minutes left in the game.

The post presence for Rutgers (Myles Johnson) fouled out at that time and it was all downhill from there for the Scarlet Knights.

There's only one place I'd rather be. French Lick.

No love for Mike Conley

Nice last ten minutes for my boys tonight. Outscored Rutgers 31-11 last 10 minutes

No love for Mike Conley

Good one.

I forgot about him.

Hard to believe Conley's been in the league since 2007.

His 12-year stay in Memphis did not help his national profile.

Now with the Utah Jazz.

 

[John Kelly]

The Suns just claimed Frank Kaminsky off waivers.

 

[John Kelly]

Cassius Winston will begin the season in the G League.

Not much NBA talent being produced by 14 Big Ten teams over the past decade or so.

lack of fathers in Chicago and Detroit areas, they hit and run. Dont know about midwest, but in socal 6'5 white kids are playing volleyball not basketball, club volleyball more popular than club basketball here, especially with girls

nba draft picks are no longer dirt poor, many of them come from wealthy parents now

 

[Almost Allright]

Greg Oden? Lol

And the growing trend: Athletes producing athletes.

I've never seen so many Jrs, IIs and IIIs in the college game.

Ron Harper Jr. is a solid college hoopster at Rutgers University.

Dad wasn't a big factor in his development as a basketball player, so Junior took exception last season when a reporter referred to him as "Ron Harper's kid."
