@daily_msu I can’t keep up with which sports Michigan is good at, and MSU isn’t so the reason clearly cheating. Oh wait a minute…oh Michigan overall 1 seed in hockey. Must have cheated again.
@homies47 Funny, only MSU had had an easy path so far. Hasn’t even played a single digit seed. And as elite 1 seeds do, get #4 seed as designed. Maybe don’t let Michigan run away with B1G and beat your team twice, and cry about seating.
Michigan really got handed a free run to the Final Four.
Tallest rotation player:
Howard: 6’10
St. Louis: 6’10
Alabama: 6’10
Iowa St: 6’11 (10 mins a game)
Meanwhile Aday Mara is 7’3. Just a casual, 5 inch advantage every night.
@KappaKappaCal@HawkeyeHouston@FloridaBBHour@usxpatmxcr Nice still shot, that was after he punched at the ball and fell on him, rolling over from being throw on the ground. They showed a few views, he clearly tried to punch it out after being thrown. Iowa in gators head-welcome to B1G ball. Gators would be in fetal position in B1G.
Todd Golden said the officials told him Folgueiras threw a punch, but it "did not connect", so it was only a flagrant 1 (with no ejection).
He is unsure why Condon also received a technical given he was fighting for ball.
@KevinScarbinsky B1G is loaded this year. Iowa plays tough physical D, had no real big men, but well coached. They got in Floridas head playing tight physical D. B1G like that every game. 10-10 in B1G this year better than other leagues due to loaded league.
No other way to say it. Totally embarrassing loss by Florida.
You're the reigning champ.
You're the 1 seed.
You're playing in your home state. Against a 9 seed in Iowa with 12 losses that finished 9th in the Big Ten.
You fall behind by 12.
You storm back to take the lead.
You can't hold it.
You give up an open 3 to lose the lead with 4.5 seconds left.
You turn the ball over on your last possession and don't even get a shot off.
No repeat. No excuse.
@MattRyanStan@MarchMadnessMBB Dude was clearly punching at ball, after being tackled and thrown to the ground. Refs reviewed it. Florida had a bunch of uncalled cheap plays after, as Iowas physical D got in their head. If the 9th place B1G team did this, imagine Gators in B1G. It’s every game. 😂
@MarchMadnessMBB Thought he got ejected when he threw a punch at a Florida player. Didn’t know that was legal. Typical big 10 officials rigging it to bolster their paychecks. Not surprised.
@gatorsszn Well, you didn’t beat Iowa. Florida lost to the 9th place B1G team, who got in their head playing physical D. Imagine Florida trying to survive the B1G-every game is physical.
@nwright72@awfulannouncing He punched the ball, after being tackled and thrown to the ground. 9th place B1G team got in Floridas head being a little physical. Florida would be in fetal position in the B1G. Every game physical.
@awfulannouncing The last shot taken by a 75 IQ dude that should have been ejected for throwing a goddam punch because he was too weak to get a rebound.
@ChaseRod78@JonnyRoot_@HawkeyeBBFan Was punching at ball, after being tackled & both players continued after whistle. Why they both got a tech. Florida had multiple aggressive non calls. Iowa got a little physical & in their head. Florida would be in the fetal position if the were in B1G. Every game like this.
@JonnyRoot_@HawkeyeBBFan He punched at the ball…after multiple whistles blew…what was he punching at the “ball” for? And no contact does not mean no punch Jon, that would mean “missed punch” is an oxymoron.
How good is the Big 10? Holy shit. Really puts into perspective how good Michigan really is. To do what we did all season in this conference? Puts them in convo for best teams of all time. #GoBlue
@Will_N11 They reviewed it, & several angles show after he was tackled, he was clearly trying to hit ball out. He didn’t throw a punch, but he did get tackled. Iowa got in Florida’s head with a little physical play. Florida would be in the fetal position if they player in B1G.
Welcome to college basketball, where an inadvertent elbow that connects with the incoming player may get you thrown out of a game but throwing a punch may help you draw a foul on a key player
@ali_peek It was reviewed. A couple replays clearly showed he went to hit ball out….after being tackled to the ground. If the 9th place B1G team with a little physical play got into Floridas head, imagine them trying to survive playing in the B1G. Fetal position.
Five Big Ten men's teams have advanced to the Sweet 16 🔥
That is the most teams the Big Ten has sent to the Sweet 16 since the round was created in 1975. Iowa and UCLA can join with wins today.
@ContextFreeCBB Imagine Florida trying to survive the B1G if the 9th place Iowa team got physical and in their head. Florida had a bunch of uncalled plays like this, they got rattled. They would be in fetal position if they played in B1G. Every game this way.
@ufhelicopters He punched the ball after being thrown on the ground, clear from a few angels. Double techs fine. Florida whining about this, I can’t imagine the gators trying to survive the B1G 😂. Every game physical, & the 9th place B1G team in their head. Iowa called for more PF by the way.
@ConnerClarke The replay shows him trying to hit ball out, he punched no one. Maybe don’t lose to the B1G 9th place .500 in league play team. Imagine Florida trying to survive the B1G if they are crying about this.
SIX of the 13 confirmed Sweet 16 teams reside in the Big Ten.
#1 Michigan
#2 Purdue
#3 Illinois
#3 Michigan State
#4 Nebraska
#9 Iowa
UCLA is playing UConn right now for a potential seventh spot.
MARCH DOMINANCE. 💪
