I didn't know this. Interesting.

No pressure on Iowa and they have 3-4 days to prepare. Michigan State plays Maryland tonight in a big game at home. Michigan State has 2-3 days to prepare. Short turn around could help Hawks. Hawks aren't traveling. Plenty of time to watch film. No reason the Hawks shouldn't be prepared...

Des Moines would be great if somehow that happened. I can dream. The fact that we didn't lose out of conference should help if we get on the line of in or out for tournament. Let's just keep winning and go to Des Moines.

We are playing harder for 40 minutes this year. That could be a mental toughness. Experience helps. Our first half last night wasn't impressive defensively. Penn State did a good job of scouting our defenses and knew how to attack. IMO Jbo shoots the same shot last year with the same amount of...

That last sentence makes me cringe. That truly is bad!!!! We really seem to struggle in the Big 10 tournament. Haven't even been able to be excited about that tournament recently either. Very similar to reading that our last win matched our total wins for last year. Only one direction to go I...

Spot on. Covering the lane and 3 point line in corners is terribly hard for anyone. Want to see another game of good team defense. Last two games have been good.

Last year is gone, but I still have worries with any road game. The team doesn't seem to be taking teams for granted this year for the most part. I still seem to be holding my breathe on each game though. Keep the defense where it has been the last two games and I feel confident. If we attack...

That's good to hear. Thanks for the update. Doesn't sound to be too bad then.

If he is questionable I would rather have him sit for Penn State. Doesn't mean I don't take them seriously, but the rest part of the equation is a big one for ankles. I'm sure he will try to play if close, but hope the coaches hold him back like they did Garza.

Our rotations in the zones are so much better than in the past. Effort and mentally knowing where they should be. The big guys have been scouting well to beat opposing big to the block. Our press looked like it was more than just to waste time. That was fun to watch with JW at the top. I also...

I'm excited about Nunge in the future. Was put out of position last year. He seems to be offensively talented. Too bad to hear the stress fracture. Glad to hear Cook is back.

We really hurt them inside without Cook. That was impressive. Garza is a major factor for this team. Putting pressure on the refs to make calls helps the Hawks. Shooting jump shots and 3 pointers early make it easy on the defense/refs. They also lead to run outs. Go inside/out for your 3...

Hoping they can exceed the 8-12 record for the Big Ten. Can't have nights off this year. Hopefully we can steal a game that we shouldn't win. Having a big win could help come tournament time for committee. I think the ISU win will look good by the end of the year. I'm cautiously optimistic with...

Opposing coaches talking about the Hawks or not talking about the Hawks. I'm interested in what they have to say if they do. Don't care if they only talk about their own team. So many threads in prior years of berating coaches for complimenting us. They just want to keep us down. Blah. Blah...

I expect a red shirt Junior to not make mental mistakes on defense. He has the physical ability to play solid defense and has shown he can. Last year was much better than prior year. Hope to see more improvement there. His offensive game is solid. I think more of it is mental with Moss. I feel...

Without defensive effort. This teams goes no where. Pretty obvious from every fan and every coach. The Michigan game at end of last season had some glimmer of hope for defense for this season. The effort was there. I still shake my head at lack of effort at beginning of season. I think the...

My take is that the projections are based on him acquiring a 3 point shot in college. I don't know the numbers, but it seemed his FT % was rather high. If a high school guy can shoot free throws at a high clip than he should be able to add the 3 point shot. He still has time to learn that shot...

I don't see anything immature about this kid. Taking his time to make a decision. He isn't committing and then de-committing. I have no problem with his process. More kids should do the same. For him to have dreams of the NBA isn't a bad thing. Most kids his age haven't figured out their...

Not signing talent for next class. Team has ability to be better next year by effort alone............... That is my second fear. Seeing the same amount of effort from last year.

Is Fran supposed to do an interview and say that current players aren't good? Would that help? Fran and his staff know more about basketball than most. They see the problems too. Coaching can improve and so can the players. People act like recruiting is such an easy thing to do. As if Fran...
