I hope so. Been wanting better non-con for years now. Can Kirk maybe follow suit?

Hayden used to have a pattern or formula. Play one that you will be heavily favored to win. Play another that will be a much stronger test but one that you SHOULD win, and the third one should be tough and you could lose if not playing very well.

This last basketball team we just played had me shaking my head. The second string players would have beat these guys by twenty points.

I am guessing and could be wrong, but I believe this was Fran’s doing.

Although the B1G is so strong in football and basketball and will be more than enough to prove any basketball or football teams in the conference…………. But yeah this team we just beat was not a test in anyway. More like shoot around just to get loose, and get some cardio in.

Given the clearing house that happened when Fran left, if Ben just finishes 500 in the conference and gets to the NCAA tournament, it is would be a tremendous feat by him.

I am hoping he does it!!!
