I think it is time here for Fran to circle the wagons, knowing what we have down the stretch and go to each player to define roles. Joe W: we need you to get the ball in your hands more and go to the basket. You need to make your presence felt early and not let someone take you out of the...

The weakness with Fran's teams, now, the past and likely the future, is that he has yet to get a difference maker, an all-conference player at the point. We just haven't had the talent at the position with the ball in his hands that can take defenders off the dribble, shoot, pass and command...

I dont see CJ coming back this year. We need more out of JW on the road. If he is a pro like everyone says, he needs to show it. We need smarter point guard play. We need to rebound better. Let's hope Garza comes back next year, but at this point why would he?

If you were to run the simulator right now with the matchups already chosen, you end up with MD: 16-4 26-5 PSU 15-5 25-5 MSU 13-7 21-10 IA 12-8 21-10 ILL 12-8 20-11 WI 12-8 19-12 MN 10-10 16-14 OSU 10-10 20-11 RUT 10-10 19-12 PU 10-10 17-14 MI...

You know, after reading what I wrote, you are right. I apologize. That was classless on my part to describe individual players as useless and less than useless. If I had a re-do, I wouldn't say those things, I would just say that the 4 rotation players of Kriener/JoeT/Evelyn/Pemsl are...

All teams have strengths and weaknesses. All B1G coaches watch film, develop solid game plans, and try to get the other team to play to their strengths and minimize exposure of their weaknesses. Scouting report on Iowa: double Garza as soon as he gets the ball. Keep him off the low block...

Well, hmmm, that is as bad as it gets. Terrible effort for everyone. Purdue brought the energy and we just stood there and let them truck us. Including Fran. Honestly didnt see it coming. It didnt help that Purdue played as well as a team could play either. So now there is their wakeup...

And now Eveyln decides to hit a 3.

In the "it cant get any worse for Pemsl category", Purdue doubled Riley Till off of Pemsl, Till passed it back to Pemsl and he had no idea what to do with it. Oh yay, we just let the end of the bench kid hit the 3 to go over 100. Pathetic.

Yeah, we contributed to this a little bit! lol. But seriously, 17-29 from 3? We have shot 21 3's and I would say that atleast 17 or 18 of them have been as open as they have been and we have hit 4. I doubt Purdue could line those guys up and play horse and not hit 17 of 29.

Every one of those guys can shoot the three, put it on the deck and go to the basket or pass it to an open man. They have us so spread out we cant defend it all. This is as good of a performance for an offense I have seen in a long time.

Well, that was fun.

Haha, the only missed shot for Purdue so far is a wide open dunk miss! Wow!

Still a lot of game left. Purdue is on pace to score about 120 and hit 30 threes. They will slow down here. Lets get it to 10 here by half and then see what happens.

Hey, dont give up yet, its not over. Purdue is playing way over their pay grade and we havent gotten anything going yet other than Garza. We will fix this rebounding thing, they are going to regress to the mean with their shooting and we will make a run. We may not win, but we will show some...

Alright, down 15-2, lets see what our boys have in them.

It does suck because it was certainly a winnable game. I look at it now though like Iowa lost to a road team and it may as well have been a team that we only play once at home and dont get on the road (like Wisconsin or Rutgers). So due to the scheduling imbalance it just isnt a big deal. Our...

Standings with respect to road wins minus home losses. Illinois: +3 won all their home games plus wins at Wisconsin, Michigan and Purdue Maryland: +2. won all home games plus wins at Indiana and NW Iowa: +1. Won all home games plus win at NW Rutgers: +1 won all home games plus win at...

I dont think so. I think CJ could take his man off the dribble and get that 10-12 footer whenever he wants, and he is good at that. That softens up that defense in the 2nd half when the defender has to run through all those screens and then bails out to go under. Joe W can do it too, he just...
