If you give Christian the space to work against a smaller/quicker guard by surrounding him with shooters and allow him to go one on one, they wont be able to stop him from finishing right over them. The only thing he needs to prove is that he can make good decisions while attacking (which I...

1. Williams 2. Bohannon/Moss 3. Jok 4. Uhl/Jones/Baer 5. Wagner This would be the setup for me. Whoever I trust to compete defensively would be the starters at the 2 and 4.

Key moments aren't exclusive to the last 5 or so minutes. When things got tight, everybody on the team lost their damn minds, played scared, or made dumb choices. It was not just one of our returnees this year. Hopefully that mentality will change, but if it doesn't no amount of 4/5 stars...

We're not blind Fran. Right or wrong, that's exactly what you've done with Mike late in games. The problem is not a lack of ballhandlers per say. The problem is I don't trust any of our players to make good decisions in key moments.

Have to have low turnovers and good shots. Can't let their physical play get to us and force us to make poor decisions.

I thought he pulled back his arm just in time. There were missed calls on both sides, but I thought it was pretty well officiated.

Uthoff has taken these shots all year. It's not a spur of the moment thing. He forced shots because he obviously doesn't trust his teammates to make shots. He knowingly ignored several open teammates.

Congrats to the team. They have a moment they can remember forever. Cool stuff. Feel a little sorry for Temple. I don't think they deserved to lose, but sports are crazy.

The good news in our little pod is that there is no super talented team like a Kentucky or a team that poises a huge mismatch problem like Gonzaga last year. You could make the argument we have the two best individual players. Villanova is dealing with some injury problems, specifically their...

Spent a little time scouring the web for some temple stuff. I found a video of a game against an OK Tulsa team. Temple seems to be a pretty meh team. Nothing really stood out to me as really dangerous. Didn't see much creativity off the bounce (Tulsa did play zone exclusively so this may be...

Pretty stupid tbh. Now is not the time to become panicky/defensive/accusatory. Your players are standing right there next to you. What do you think they are thinking right there? Answer the question, credit Illinois, and move on the real tournament.

It wasn't perfect against Michigan, but there were at least some good things that we had to keep building on to get ready to make a run. They couldn't build upon the Michigan game and reverted to playing like poo. I definitely get why people are mad at Fran, but the players just didn't come...

There were a lot of encouraging things from this game. It's nice that we're starting to get some bench contribution once again. I'm not really anti-Ellingson, but I think this team needs a guy like Williams who can just get a bucket sometimes. Hopefully Christian can continue to play well. I...

I don't necessarily think it's any one individual as few lately have played well for us. Even though the Maryland game annoyed me when we lost, I was kind of happy after I thought about it. I was hoping that we would learn our lessons from that game... that if a team decided to overplay the...

We always play terrible at Penn State. The place is a freaking morgue.

What a waste of time game. Waste of all 5 person's money who bought tickets. Waste of of perfectly good jet fuel. Waste of a million dollar arena. Waste of TV money and personnel. It it a joke that this is even called basketball. No **** on either side should be happy about this. Iowa...

Not being Russell Westbrook/Derrick Rose athletically does not equal lacking speed.

The activity level wasn't there playing zone in the first half. Activity level picked up considerably in the beginning of the second playing man defense. It's hard to maintain that though when you have to comeback with your starters exclusively. Uhl is averaging 3 points in our 5 losses. I...

Watching Forbes go off against the rest of the conference makes you appreciate what Sapp can do defensively. I'm still blown away from his defense in the first MSU game. I doubt he'll gain enough recognition/stats to be B1G defensive POY, but he should be in the conversation. MSU has always...

Anunoby vs Uthoff will be a fun watch. Wish we could've got him, but oh well. Force IU to grind out in half court and they will make mistakes (see both badger IU games).
