PrintThis week, we're joined by the artist formerly known as Big Ten Wonk, John Gasaway, to talk about the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, the apparent acceleration of conference play, and the abject misery that is Iowa Hawkeye basketball. John is currently writing in his usual prolific manner at Basketball Prospectus, and is the editor of College Basketball Prospectus 2009-10, available at Amazon.com. It's a great stocking stuffer, provided your stocking can fit 190 pages of the best writing and analysis on college basketball available anywhere.

Did I hear a laugh at the phrase “Lickliter’s got his thing [offense”?

Yes.
Although I guess I can’t be totally sure, as I was laughing too.

Yeah
because Lickliter’s thing is usually “hold the ball for 30 seconds and jack up a contested three”
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

As opposed to UConn's "hold the ball, drive, pray for contact" final offense against UK

Hey... I could play for the Hawks now
I’d fit right in, because every three I’ve ever put up in a pickup game has been contested. So I’ll be prepared to handle that.

Wait, wait, wait -
Win in Iowa City AND Champaign? That’s fucking retarded.
We’ll win in East Lansing and Champaign. Duh. C’mon.

I hope I'm not dead before that happens.

It would be like DeShizzle at Penn State
Whose stellar 29-71 conference record includes three straight wins in Assembly Hall, including the 38-33 victory last year that set Big Ten basketball back to the Stone Age.
Are you nuts?
38-33 was the greatest game ever played.

Dick Bennett agrees.
However, I must ask the question:
How does a 5 seed in the NCAA tourney (Illinois) and the eventual NIT champion (PSU) have a score like that?
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.
