With Michigan’s win, and a guaranteed Big Ten team advancing in the East Region, the Big Ten has multiple teams in the Sweet Sixteen for the 12th consecutive year, the longest active streak of any conference. Best conference in the country? Just asking for a friend.

You're never too good to forget about the fundamentals. Simple passing drills, a focus on footwork, communication and free throws at game-day shoot around for @umichbball . Might seem basic to some but more necessary than you can imagine.

Purdue....wow! Matt Painter has been masterful this season adapting to a go-to star and maximizing the use and potential of a variety of role players. Made great adjustments after their first meeting earlier this month. The fearlessness & confidence of @BoilerBall is infectious.

The B1G may not have as many teams as normal in the tourney this year but the Purdue win makes it the 11th consecutive year the @bigten has had multiple teams in the Sweet 16. That's the longest active streak.

A few weeks ago I was ranting that @MSU_Basketball got a raw deal and a bad draw. Today the narrative is a little different. Duke got the bad draw. Discipline, experience, toughness, accountability and tireless development can overcome a lot. See you in Minneapolis, Spartans!

Purdue is a joy to watch. The ball moves quickly, they cut and screen hard and play good team defense. Like good pancakes, it’s a simple recipe but it requires a full buy-in to those principles (over self interest) which often only comes from older teams w/great chemistry.

It’s impossible to overstate the quality of @B1GMBBall this season. The most remarkable and surprising performance may be that of Matt Painter and @BoilerBall . Top 4 finish and a double bye in BTT. Doubt anyone would’ve predicted that in December. Purdue fans excluded of course.

That would be an example of me trying to make a point but taking it to an extreme. That was wrong. There's a point in there and I'd still say there are complimentary players impacting the game at a much higher level than expected. That would have been the right way to say it.

@PurdueOnBTN @BTNJonCrispin I know your comments were complimentary towards the system at Purdue (and coaching), but which players wouldn’t ‘sniff the court’ on other BT teams? I’d wager most other coaches would take anyone of Purdue’s players given the way they’ve played

@RobinWashut They are a NCAA tournament team. I just hope we don't get too tied to the metrics of the quadrant system because that does nothing to tell me about how good this team really is.

Don't sleep on the B1G this year. Hyping a couple elite teams doesn't make a conf strong. There are 6 B1G Teams in MBB AP Poll ... It is the first time since Jan. 14, 2013 that 6 B1G teams are ranked in an in-season poll (did have 6 in Preseason 2015-16 poll).

Great graphic for our broadcast tonight. The strength of the @bigten this year is obvious and the 20 game conference schedule will be a grind. I'm happy to be along for the ride.

B1G with 4 teams in the top-15 and 6 in the top-25 with @HuskerHoops tops in receiving votes. I'm with @CoachMiles .... Huskers are top-25 if their uniforms had something other than Nebraska on the front. One of the best starting lineups in the B1G.

. @MSU_Basketball offensive tempo and confidence comes from their assertiveness on the defensive end. Much less pressure on every possession when you have confidence in your ability to get stops, rebounds and run outs.

Had a feeling about this game. Last year at Illinois, MSU had 25 turnovers. Today, Illinois forced 24 turnovers and got 28 points of turnovers. Illini were the aggressor and the aggressor usually wins.

When I played at Penn State, the conference was strong and ridiculously physical. We’d say, "Big Ten Makes Men." It’s a little different in 2020-21. @B1GMBBall is the best I’ve ever seen. This year, "Big Ten Breaks Men."

I love everybody. Boilers have been #1 in my power rankings for the past three weeks. Not sure anyone would define that as hate. Also, that "loser" program I played for went to the sweet 16 in 2001.

Have some respect for the decision makers who actually have to weigh all options, consider all variables and consequences. Don’t let the angry experts with agendas misguide you like politicians who want you to choose a side. We all want sports. Covid sucks. Simple as that.

Game day shoot around sets the tone for the main event. @OhioStateHoops and @BoilerBall appear to be confident and loose. Both teams truly enjoy being around one another. First game here for Chris Holtmann. Mackey will be loud tonight.

. @RutgersMBB just tied the record for fewest points allowed in any half with 4. Again, only 4 points allowed by the Scarlet Knights. Great response after a tough loss against St. John's last week.

I’m going to have my hands full with Power Rankings this week. Rutgers and Nebraska are more than just competitive. They’ve got the potential to be really good. Fantastic win for RU today.

@BTNJonCrispin if #Rutgers is last in the power rankings, does that mean most/all of B1G is capable of being ranked at some point this year?

The need for information in this world is an epidemic. Information is not power. Clicks are not power. Heartlessness should not be rewarded. It’s time for the human race to advance past the need to know and the need to make news. Real people matter more than senseless attention.

The once productive home office is now an ESPN production center. Cheers to all of the folks who have helped make this happen. And yes, that’s Hallmark and Iona hoops on the TVs. Had to see Pitino’s group but Christmas at the Palace had me locked in.

One of my favorite trips to make in the B1G. Great sushi at @BlueSushiLNK , tremendous environment at PBA with @HuskerRedZone and an exciting team in @HuskerHoops . Anxious to see if @IowaHoops can keep moving forward. Talent and potential is there. Tip-off at 7pm CT on BTN.
