We have a couple guys who grew up in the inner-city on our team. When someone resorts to that sort of response, that pretty much tells you what kind of person they are and the beliefs they hold.
As a toss up game, this is a toughness (mental and physical) and effort game. Whoever gets the most 50/50 balls wins. That's where our vast experience edge makes the difference in the game
Looking into the stats deeper, Swanigan leads them in turnovers per game. If we can get turnovers, especially at the expense of Swanigan, we likely win. Conversely, if Burton gets in foul trouble then that could be our achilles heel.
When I was in college, I hoped that the Boilermakers were bartenders; big difference.
Has a big 12 team even beaten a big ten team yet this year? Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure it's 6-0 b10.
Checked their board this morning.
They aren't very confident as a group.
Many are realizing their weaknesses play to our strengths. But ours probably play into theirs as well.
This should be a great college basketball game of contrasting styles.

Did I say "would", or did I say "could"?
And, for the record:
Baylor beat Michigan St
Kansas beat Nebraska
West Virginia beat Illinois
Not only that, but that doesn't even account for the fact that those games took place in 2016. Iowa State is a completely different team now in March - not to mention, so is Iowa. I doubt you all would want a head-to-head now.
I've noticed Burton has recently been pretty quick at slapping the ball out of opponents' hands down low before the go up for the shot. It's led to some good turnovers and helped avoid foul trouble for Burton too. Hopefully that will be effective today as well.
Please, take your living vicariously through the other B10 teams to the mega rivals thread.
I'd take the head to head now.
You just used the big 12's record against the ACC to show which you thought was the stronger conference. Is that not applicable now?
I'm really not. I'm discussing the big ten in a thread about a team from the conference, in response to a poster who hinted that ISU would win that conference.
I'd rather see Wisconsin, Michigan state, and Minnesota go down in flames every year.
Yeah, Michigan shot better than they ever have in their life, and set NCAA records for their 3 pt % in the 2nd half, and won by one point against OSU who was seeded below Michigan and barely made the tourney. Great win! Any team that shoots the lights out at a record level usually win by 20+.
OSU was clearly the better team, and would have won by 10+ if Michigan doesn't have a game where literally everything they threw up there went in. And don't tell me OSU played horrible defense, nearly every shot was well guarded.
I give Michigan credit for knocking them down, but they were not the better team on that court.
