Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Michigan goes 10-15 from 3 in the first half. Penn State is bad but still...

Penn State gives up a lot of threes, I believe. You let Michigan get those looks then you're toast.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
I know it's Rutgers, but it's incredibly encouraging to see Wisconsin make shots regularly, and have a semblance of offensive movement that really wasn't there early in the year.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
poo poo I think Butler is going to start Big East play 0-3 since they play Villanova next.

IU finally beats a team they're supposed to beat without any weird drama. Anunoby is turning into a great player.

drat, that win feels good. Obviously, Kansas can't keep that up every game, but if they could, they might actually win a championship this year.

Memphis-SC has been borderline unwatchable because of 30 (!) fouls called in the first half, but it's still pretty entertaining. Memphis just made a buzzer-beating 3 to tie it at the break. Really, really want this win, it'd be huge for us.

So, if Donnel can keep playing this well on offense, then Michigan's offense opens up a ton.

The sad thing is, Donnel is the only center that the guards trust in a pick and roll situation. Our best defensive guy has frying pan hands.

I think most sane Iowa fans had the Hawkeyes starting 0-2 in the Big Ten with this schedule, so this is pretty crazy. Even with the asterisk next to the MSU game.

Iowa's 3/4 court trap really hosed with Purdue, Iowa forced a ton of turnovers, and people other than Uthoff started making shots.

Gamecocks finish their nonconference schedule with a perfect 13-0 record. drat, that was a battle. A W over Memphis should age quite well.

Drake blew a big lead and lost at home to Illinois State. They probably needed this one if they wanted to avoid the Thursday MVC play-in games. I'm starting to think Giacoletti is not the answer for the poor Bulldogs...

Go Birds.

Illinois was terrible in the first half, and then somehow in the 2nd hit something like 3 3s in a row and.....still is losing. Ugh. This team has been hit by the injury bug but still. If Illinois could get a solid 5 who doesn't get hurt we would be doing so much better.

Thanks, dude. :unsmith: It's probably a little unrealistic to hope they'll make the NCAAT this year, but I'll be happy even with an NIT bid. No doubt Martin has us on the right track.
