B1G Basketball Regular Season Wrap Up

Recommended Posts

There is a very important game tonight with Illinois vs. Purdue.  The game is at 5 pm on the FOX network.  If Purdue wins and the Ducks beat the Huskies, Oregon would have the 7th seed and would play the #10 vs. #15 winner in the Big Ten tournament.  If Illinois wins, Oregon ends up with the #8 seed and would play the winner of the Indiana/Ohio State game. 

 

Earlier this year, Indiana won at Ohio State 77-76 in overtime.

Oregon beat Indiana 73-64 in Eugene and the Ducks beat Ohio State in Columbus 73-71.  If Oregon faces Indiana, it will be like a home game for the Hoosiers.  Bloomington is only 56 miles away from Indianapolis. 

 

If the Ducks don't get that 7th seed, I'd rather see us play Ohio State again.

"If Oregon faces Indiana, it will be like a home game for the Hoosiers.  Bloomington is only 56 miles away from Indianapolis. "

 

I think arena to arena is 51 miles.   "Home" was a factor in the Indiana vs Oregon women's game, and Indiana then trailed USC by 1 today at the end of the third quarter before USC pulled it out.

So, the Ducks play the team they just beat at home, at a "Neutral" court this time, then if they beat Indiana, get No.1, Michigan State. Another "Opportunity"

Not men's basketball news, but BYU has terminated women's head coach Amber Whiting.   Amber's daughter Amari was an Oregon commit (2023 class) who flipped to BYU after her mother was hired as head coach.  She was a Player of the Year in Idaho when she committed to Oregon.   She still has eligibility remaining at BYU where she started all 30 games this season.   May be interesting to see if she sticks it out at BYU or transfers.  If her mom is hired as an assistant somewhere, maybe...

Looks like it will be Indiana.   A bit of home cooking in the foul calls in Bloomington today in their win over Ohio State.

 

So, Ducks men will join Ducks women in playing Indiana in Indianapolis.
