Wisconsin = one and done; Big Ten = overrated

[PickWinnerAllDay]

NO coin, I really don't care anymore what you think of the Big 10.

My advice to you is just not bet them the rest of the year because I swear, every side you take in the Big 10 you lose.

Just fade your first instinct or avoid Big 10 games and you'll feel better big guy.

If Northwestern won, he wouldn't have created this thread

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Purdue is in a free fall even though they've won 3 of 4?

On that, I think we'll end the discussion. I think you think they are in a free fall b/c you took them +5.5 at home vs Michigan State, and I told you not to, and you again didn't listen.

If you listened to me on your Big 10 plays, you might make some money. But keep being bitter and blaming the conference for your losses.

[No coincidences]

Love how you keep bringing up the Northwestern/Michigan game too, like the Wolverines won in a resounding way and that game was anything other than completely in doubt or tilted in Northwestern's favor until overtime. Up 31-24 at half, up 48-43 with two and change to go, and they just plain choked. But "great call" though.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

If Northwestern won, he wouldn't have created this thread

The last week or so that he has posted Big 10 plays I've respectfully told him why he is going to lose on that side and he shrugs it off and then proceeds to lose his money every time. Now he is trying to argue like he knows what hes talking about with the Big 10?

And the Purdue/Michigan State game where I told you MSU wins in a blow out because Purdue will be short 2 men and doesn't have a deep bench and you said 5.5 is too much at home?

By the way, Purdue didn't kick 2 players off. They suspended one and kicked Barlow off... Byrd was back in the lineup for the home massacre of Nebraska.

But yeah, they've lost 1 of 4, they are really in a free fall.

[t-wizzle]

You fukkin guys need to give it up.

We'll see what happens when they go to Michigan and Indiana. Just another Big Ten team that will be in the "fading fast" category.

I'm just being honest here. You are being a homer. That's the difference. The Big Ten's "bubble teams" all peaked too early and they'll be exposed accordingly come tournament time. Wisconsin, Purdue and whoever else happens to slide in won't be around long. MSU, OSU, Michigan and possibly Indiana are the league's only hopes of even reaching the second week.

[dynamite140]

No Coin doesn't know a thing about basketball. Only reason why he took Northwestern was b/c they are a horrible team and has no business laying points. His conspiracy senses comes up that betting Michigan would be a trap and thus he would side with the books

[PickWinnerAllDay]

They are 1-1 without Byrd and Barlow. We'll see what happens when they go to Michigan and Indiana. Just another Big Ten team that will be in the "fading fast" category.

And here we have it. This is why you are stupid as hell and should give up.

So if Purdue loses to Michigan and Indiana, two teams who are UNDEFEATED AT HOME, you declare them fading fast???

See, that is why you are a moron. Almost every single team in the country would lose at Michigan and at Indiana, but Purdue has to play them back to back so they are fading fast??? UNREAL.

If Kentucky had to play at Indiana and Michigan, they'd have a real chance of 'fading fast' according to your definition.

Again, stop chest-thumping about Michigan beating Northwestern. Wildcats choked that game away. You act like it was a slam-dunk win.

If Purdue loses on the road to 2 teams who are undefeated at home this year, they are fading fast.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

If Purdue can't manage to win on the road at Michigan or Indiana, where NO ONE has won this year, they sure are fading fast.

You are proving yourself moronic in this thread. The committee isn't going to view a road loss to Michigan or a road loss to Indiana bad at all. The committee is going to realize no one in the country is going to win those games.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

By the way, Byrd played against Nebraska. Just another thing you have swung and missed at.

Purdue and Wisconsin aren't as good now as they were in November and December. Period. Illinois and Minnesota aren't even close to what they were in November and December. Period. I don't know how you can argue otherwise.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Yes, no coin, we get it... Purdue is a terrible team for not ending Michigan or Indiana's absurdly long home winning streaks. Save it you bitch ass whiner.

Just stop betting the Big 10, it is dominating you.

[dynamite140]

No Coin, just admit you created this thread b/c you keep betting on Big 10 Teams and they don't win.


You took NorthWestern because they had no reason to be favorites and the line went from -1.5 to 2.5.


Then again, you won't admit it because denial is a common characteristic of Small Bettor Syndrome

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Dynamite, I have a long drive to make but if you don't mind, check No coin's record on the Big 10 this season, or at least in the past couple of weeks. Hes been bleeding money betting on the Big 10 lately, I know that but I'd like to see an actual record.

I never said Purdue is a terrible team; they're a team that peaked too early and won't do anything in the tournament, just like Wisconsin. Purdue was 12-3 at one point -- then they were routed at Penn State and are 6-7 since. They beat Temple, but lost to Butler, Xavier and Alabama. Just a mediocre team with no real shot to do anything in the tourney.

I lost on Northwestern's choke job and Purdue vs. MSU. What other Big Ten games have I dropped recently?

I just know he doesn't have a clue about basketball. Of course his record is in the negative in big 10 games. If it was positive, you think he create a whining thread about it?


Look, he created this thread b/c of his losses on those games where he bet on those Big 10 Team like Northwestern.


Kid tries to act cute by going against the grain and fail miserably

[dynamite140]

In No Coin's world, its only a choke job when the team he bets on loses the game at the end. If the team he bet on wins, it's not a choke job.

[dynamite140]

No Coin complains constantly only when his bet loses.


If those teams won, he wouldn't say Big 10 are overrated.


He is very bias when he has a bet on a game. Will even go and say its fixed.

[No coincidences]

Northwestern had Michigan dead to rights twice this year and choked both times. Period.

[dynamite140]

Had you bet Michigan, you wouldn't even say a word about the game


Seriously all you do is whine about when you get unlucky but NEVER when you get lucky.


Typical

The Big-10 is probably the best conference top to bottom. This PickWinnerAllDay guy is a moron.

Big East is a strong second, maybe even first, but the fact that Notre Dame has done so well has me questioning the conference a little. Louisville, Pitt, and UConn being down from where they were originally projected have hurt the conference.

Hard to say with the Big East given the sheer number of teams vs. other leagues. Big East isn't nearly as strong as it typically is. I agree that Notre Dame's success is a red flag. I still wouldn't want to see Syracuse, Marquette, Georgetown or even West Virginia in the tournament, though.

I think the Big 12 is the best league in the country. Kansas, Baylor and Missouri are all teams that can go very deep. Iowa State keeps getting better and better, and K-State's really gotten a second wind. If Texas and Texas A&M weren't such resounding disappointments, it'd be pretty clear-cut.

so you mean if two Big 12 teams that were not good were suddenly good the conference would be better? Thanks for the insight bro.

And if Illinois didn't melt down, if Minnesota doesn't lose their best player, if Northwestern's best player doesn't quit basketball suddenly, etc. etc. etc. then, well, the Big 10 is the best conference even with all of those things happening, but you see the point.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

no coin over the last week you are 2-4 on the Big 10.

Probably about average for you on Big 10 games because I remember you missing several in a row a few weeks ago, don't feel like digging around anymore. You should probably just not bet the conference because you underrate some teams severely.

[dynamite140]

No coin keeps fading the public and losing

[t-wizzle]

Is Purdue still in free fall?

Is Purdue still in free fall?

Yes because they are 0-1 in their last 1 games where No coin has put his $20 bucks on them.

The Big Ten is #1 in the RPI primarily because of their dominance of the non-conference schedule. Take a look at The Pac-12: their only non-conference win over an RPI Top 50 team is Stanford over Colorado State, a team that's only in the RPI Top 50 because it rigged the RPI by not playing any SWAC or MEAC teams.

Someone said Michigan, MSU, OSU, and maybe Indiana have any chance of getting to the 2nd week? By the second week there's only 16 teams left! Any conference wouldn't mind comprising a quarter of the sweet sixteen.

The only knock on the Big Ten is they don't have the type of run/jump/dunk "talent" you see in the SEC and the Big 12. So they compensate by playing at a slower pace, playing more half court set offense, and taking more jump shots. They can do this and still be successful because they have an overwhelming advantage in coaching. Thad Matta is a recruiting genius. Tom Izzo has to beat back NBA job offers with a stick. John Beilein hasn't met a team he couldn't take to the NCAA Tournament. Tubby Smith won a national championship. Even Bill Carmody at Northwestern took an Ivy League to the tournament as a 5 seed.

As far as winning it all, right now, its Kentucky and everybody else. But what does that say about the fact that a Big Ten team was the only one that was able to get Anthony Davis in foul trouble and pick up the W? UNC's offense has to be 2005/2009 good to overcome their lack of commitment to defense, and its not. Duke is in the same boat as Carolina. Syracuse's zone doesn't work against good jumpshooting teams, and it leaves them vulnerable on rebounds. Mizzou isn't big enough. Kansas doesn't have enough help surrounding Thomas Robinson. Baylor is talented but too poorly coached. Florida is like a poor-man's Mizzou except with less defense and now no Will Yegette. Florida State's offense is prone to lapses.

I actually think Kentucky and MSU are the teams to beat right now. MSU is deep, they defend, they rebound, and they're very well coached. They can throw bigs like Payne and Nix at Anthony Davis to rough him up the way they did to Sullinger and get him to turn the ball over.
