He is my absolute fav on the time..maybe not the best but plays hard everytime out

This is not a fluke we are winning with 12 minutes left.  We have played fairly disciplined, eliminated (thus far!) the horrendous scoring droughts, have played solid defense and have hit shots.  It's amazing what happens when you play fairly fundamental and smart basketball basketball.

Even just smart basketball.

Three more 4 minute segments.  Should I feel guilty for wanting Doc to run the offense so we take the air out if the ball?!

We do that on accident, so you just might get your wish whether we're trying to or not.

First to 60 probably wins here.

[atskooc]

65.5% winning percentage...

We have taken care of the ball and made free throws.  9  - 12 tonight.

Allllll in jest since this is the game thread, which absolves you of ridiculous statements

the 3 missed could be 55 48

He was not even close to in the act of shooting.

What about his Cockburn?

Unfortunately he has 25% of our turnovers.  While he has scored 5 points, his TO's have probably given up just as much.

Lost in Space?  New series on Netflix that has this same quote!

Win or lose tonight, this at least feels like some small steps forward.  It feels like where we were starting to get before the Covid shutdown.

[HuskerFever]

At this point, the final result is what it is for me. Saw glimmers of progress in the early part of Wisconsin. Saw lots of good things in this game.

 

Honestly, I have been waiting all season for this. ANY signs of progress. Win and losses aside. Michigan might have been the only other time this season.

If Cockburn or Dosunmu played for the team in white they would have 5 technicals each.
