    If we win the 2 home games, but lose to Illinois and MSU is able to beat PSU at PSU, then we'd get the #4 seed if the rest stays chalk.

    So who's getting worried about JW?

    I know he has a gf on the women's team....but she might have to take one for the team and let JW go out and find a good slump-buster....

    So who's getting worried about JW?

    I guess I disagree with the assertion that he's a "very high level player". I would say that he's a very good shooter that's going thru a slump, and he's going thru a slump because he doesn't have anything else to fall back on (dribble drive game, post up game, etc).

    Anyone Still On Their Soapbox?

    MSU barely beat us when Garza and JW went a combined 9-29. If they have even avg games, we win going away. It was more what we didn't do, than what MSU did do in this one. Typically, at Breslin, it's all about what MSU does to people. In this case, we just couldn't rise to the occasion. It...

    Anyone Still On Their Soapbox?

    I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that Fran's coaching moves COST US the game. But at the very least, his decisions left us in some tough spots. JT should have not come out with 3 fouls. Let him play thru and if he fouls out, you've still got Bakari. Garza should have gotten more...

    So who's getting worried about JW?

    I'm not worried....it's called a "Sophomore Slump" for a reason....because it happens to 2nd year players all the time. Mainly because team's have had a whole year to scout you and your tendencies. So it's now up to him to improve this off-season and get rid of the tendencies and/or add other...

    Kobe King to Nebraska

    Was there really anywhere else he was going to land? The minute he announced he was transferring, the odds were 99.9% he was ending up with the Mayor.

    Not trying to answer your last question, necessarily, but Steve took over the Bigger Ten podcast, so that's where you'll find his commentary. That's not to say that Rob wouldn't reach out to Steve to have him on as a guest, but my understanding is that once Jon was done, Steve was done as well...

    Hawks look to start win streak of one at Breslin game thread

    During a hugely important part of the game in the last 4 minutes or so, the camera panned to the sidelines and the fat hispanic ref (Larry Sciratto I think is his name) was literally smiling and laughing with Izzo on the sidelines. How fucking inappropriate is that? It's a single digit game in...

    1. Predict when Wirfs and AJE get drafted. I say Wirfs #8 to the Cardinals and AJE #27 to the Seahawks. 2. Is your sense that the "fallout" between Iowa and Bollers is more related to positional fit or a personality conflict? 3. If you had to guess, do you think Moss or Brents will end up the...

    1. Is JW just going thru the typical "Sophomore Slump" or is there more going on than that do you think? 2. I thought Fran made a big mistake in keeping JT on the bench when MSU made their run....JT had been playing great D on Winston. What are your thoughts on that? 3. Garza is 0 for his...

    Hawks look to start win streak of one at Breslin game thread

    The game was called fairly well, I thought, for the first 35 minutes of the game. However, the refs absolutely swallowed their whistles in the last 5 minutes, which seems to happen all the time at Breslin. MSU knows this, so they ramp up their physicality then and teams often times can't do...

    Interesting quote from Stanley at the combine

    Once again, the offensive coaches (OC and QB coach) aren't there to spend time working on the mechanics of throwing a football. They are there to work with the QB on specific plays, reading defenses, tendencies, strategies against specific coverages, etc. If the QB is having mechanical issues...

    Typical game at Breslin. Refs swallow whistles in the last 5 mins.

    I have no idea why refs let Izzo have a conversation with them. Tell him to sit down and shut up or you’ll T him up. It’s not hard.

    That’s actually a good point. The B1G is pretty adamant about their coaches not commenting on officiating...

    Interesting quote from Stanley at the combine

    Honestly, the QB coach isn’t necessarily there to work on technique, per se. It’s more about offensive execution, reading defenses, etc. That’s what QB camps are for.

    According to Dakich during the game, DJ Carstensen flat out told Izzo to “shut up”. Should be interesting to see how the 2nd half unfolds vis a vis fouls...

    An 8-0 run to the start the 2nd half would be sweet!
