A 10-10 conference record gets us in. Let's count the Penn State game as a win. The remaining five are against ranked teams and at an OSU team that is directly sitting on the bubble. So, any one of those wins is another Quad 1 win, and frankly, anyone one of those wins is probably Iowa's best...

Charlie Jones falls into the category of wildly underused by KF's dopey kid. He was one of the best returners in the game and Iowa had no playmakers on offense and yet he was barely targeted on offense. Then he goes to Purdue and catches 110 balls?? 12 TDS? Just given his track record, I am...

I think we will close out fine, but I am reducing my conference win total to 11 and maybe even 10. Still gets us in the dance. Anything can happen in the dance. Defense travels. Coaching experience travels. Guard play travels. Its all about getting hot shooting at the right time.

No. Its not.

There are times when I look at guys like Howard and Combs and wonder if its not really regression, as much as exposure. These guys, like most of the team, were tabbed as midmajor prospects. I am not doubting BM's recruiting and development abilities, but the reality is we have some talent gaps...

Stats be damned. I know a player capable of a heater when I see one. His career 3 point stats are 38.8. Jordan Bohannons was 39.7. Guys like that string them together. As I acknowledged above, a guy like that will go 1-7 one night and 5-7 the next. Its feast or famine and you just hope the...

When I first saw the title to this thread, I thought it was comparing their looks at this same age. Coming out of college, Brady looked like the "kid who mows your lawn" as BM stated about Stirz. Both guys are kind of dopey white kids who look like they are more liable to trip than do...

Kind of feel like Hausen might be our best shot at an upset or two in the tourney. Teams are going to throw everything at Stirtz and I feel like the only other deadly shooter we have on the team is Hausen. Its taking a chance for sure as his defense is not as great as the others, but we get a...

That Thompson kid that is RS ing was wanted by everyone. Purdue especially sold out to get him. On the one hand, you would think a guy like that should have been able to crack the line-up this year, but on the other hand he was competing with a lot guys who were upperclassman, older, and or...

Sage is a guy to buy stock in for sure. He reminds me of Aaron White, including his lack of interest out of high school. Could be a really good one before he leaves town.

I think BM has designed a bit of a junk offense to cater to his team, which is having a superstar PG and a bunch of complimentary players. I cannot believe that this is the offense he would run with a more balanced team. I think the guys that are returning will show better next season...

After watching what Cig did at Indiana, I would not bet against any program that has a good coach and believes in its system. NDSU has given us a few scares over the years. Good program.

Made me chuckle. There is one clear villain here. Fry. For jinxing both guys by starting this Thread and causing both guys into taking a simultaneous dump on the Maryland hardwood together. Ugly. But, anyone can have a bad game. Its just hurts when pretty much everyone does on the same...

Nebraska is regressing to the mean. To be fair, they have had three tough losses, and are still a good team, but they benefitted from a manageable schedule to start the season and now they are facing the top end of the conference. Reality setting in. Sort of like the Patriots!

Indiana, I guess. Other than Indiana and Minnesota, is this the most chalk team in recent memory? They have pretty much won what they should have and lost what they should have. They will have 4 shots at a signature win moving forward.

I think Alfo should earn more minutes. He has been. Slowly as he gets used to the speed of the game. He is going to be a key piece going down the stretch. Banks and Alfo are the two closest things we have to reliable scorers behind Stirtz.

In thinking this through, here is Cal's message distilled: "Guys, can we get some rules back in place so I can break those rules and get an unfair advantage? Hello? We need rules. There are no rules. Please. Rules. So I can break them. Please."

As many of us have said on here many times, it matters more who finishes the game than who starts. Cam, Koch, and Al all will get a lot of minutes and the one who is playing the best will get the most minutes. This thread is a solution in search of a problem. :) But, that is mostly what we...

I trust Ben more than you, Fry. :) I also trust my eyes.

Wish them all well. Would have loved for Dix and Sanford to have given BMC a listen, but this is the times we live in.
