Funny stuff! But that tweet also says a lot about the mentality Fran has instilled in that team.

 

Sure they got jobbed on a few calls. They were on the road in the league. Everyone gets jobbed on a few calls on the road. Have to play thru it, rather than whining about it on Twitter after you lose by 20.

 

I thought Cowan just played against him really tough, and didn't really notice anything out of line. But it's good to know a guard being physical with him gets in his head. Every other team in the league now will have that at the top of the scout, if they didn't already.

 

I, personally, thought Bohannon was trying to be humorous. Who knows....

Agree - but there's almost always a hint of something else behind it.

Yeah, that's probably true too. It's a silly joke to convey to millions of people no matter what. And tagging the NCAA doesn't make it any better. Ufffft.

Compare that to Gill's... "I'm not into moral victories because those don't get you into the dance."  We could have very easily said "well the refs at Purdue... yada yada, but we didn't."

 

Our team is hungry and they want it.  I can see it.  That's a good thing.

[WestOHusker]

Purdue up to 5th in the latest top 25.

If only Iowa would take Fran's intensity and relay it to the defensive end.  They have to be one of the worst defensive teams in the country.  Fran must decide that defensive play is a suggestion.

Sooo.... Mr Lynch rejoined the team.  Yikes.

The optics of this aren't great.

Indiana's De'ron Davis out for the year after he had surgery on his Achilles. He was 6th on the team in terms of minutes played and 3rd leading scorer.

Every team in the B1G should copy Rutgers' defensive game plan vs Sparty. MSU has 101 points in 70+ minutes vs RU this season.

 

39-39 tie with less than 10 minutes to play in E Lansing, if you can believe that. Bridges has ZERO points tonight, if you can believe that too.

I have this one on now.  Michigan State is playing terrible.  Rutgers isn't bad, but they can get going a bit too fast sometimes.  Remind me a lot of St. Johns with a little less talent.

headed to OT, 59-59 - I was more interested in watching Minn-NW, but I'm glad I turned it on early. This one has been something else.

Do we want Rutgers or MSU to win? 

 

I probably shouldn't look at every game for the rest of the year in terms of who I want to win based on the very minuscule chance it gives Nebraska a better chance to make the tournament, but I do.

Rutgers is the most schizo team in the country I think.  Lose to Stony Brook, but beat Seton Hall, and now take MSU to overtime on the road.  Fun game to watch!

We don't play MSU again, so a Rutgers win would give them a nice bump for when we beat them twice.

Beat Seton Hall, then proceeded to lose three straight to Stony Brook, Hartford, and Purdue.  Then take MSU to OT.

 

Their schedule is really front loaded.  Have MSU twice, Minny, and Purdue in their first 5 conference games.

I say we just replace laughing at Rutgers with laughing at Iowa and Temper Fran-trums.

 

MSU hangs on 76-72.

[rr52]

N'western putting it on the Gophers 39-17 late 1st half. Cats taking advantage of what appears to be a disinterested Pitino jr squad.

Rutgers taking MSU to overtime on the road bumped them 14 spots in the KenPom rankings.

Meh, we beat MSU at Breslin in 2016 and still only finished 6-12 in the B1G and Nebrasketball is still the butt of many jokes.  Don't read too much into one game.

Minnesota looks demoralized.  This is NOT the same team we beat just a month ago.

I wonder if Pitino Jr. has any hangover seeing what happened with his dad?  I know if it were my dad, there would be an effect on me, to what extent, who knows.

Barely beating a 3-man Bama squad broke them.

Ohio State looking stronger by the game.
