Yep. The downside? Not really any resume building wins there. Just need to take care of business.

We don't need to build our resume anymore. Just make sure we don't send it out with spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors.

Sucked ass on the line tonight.

why that illinois game could've been the tourney clincher, but we still have the resume wins already. 

 

7 games left after this one, and we've got to get one of those road games for crying out loud.

We're fine.

Bank is open for Diop.

I decree that if you play in a place called "The Vault," you don't have to call that bank three.

Good way to put it. But we need about 4 more wins and currently have zero road conference wins. So until we can prove we can pull out a win on the road this late in the season, I wouldn't quite say we have built the resume. A win vs. Illinois likely would have made that predicament irrelevant.

Yep. Time to proof read and spell check

Well, hope this ends up better than the last time we smoked Michigan 

[Cazzie22]

We need the rest.  Penn State will be a stern test.  We need the energetic defense to come again next week.

They need to win at least one conference road game.

Finally getting a bye will be a big help. this team's gotta be tired. 

 

I think they're in decent shape for a run here.

We will win at least 2.  We will get over the hump against Indiana and then beat Michigan to end the year.  You think Michigan is going to put much into that game?  They'll likely be taking that game easy in trying to save their legs for an improbable run in the Big ten tourney starting on the next Wednesday.  Ohio St. will be the toughest but that team is not great by any stretch of the imagination.  Running the table is not out of the question.

Maybe. It would be nice. I'm not sure we NEED to. But if we don't it definitely takes it out of our hands and puts it up for interpretation by others. Also, semantics, but I view a road win at this point more of a box to check then a resume builder.

I lied. I didn't realize we played at Michigan. We absolutely need to win that one

They’re not going to let a team in that didn’t win one conference road game. That is a guarantee. I think they will too I’m just saying they still have to do it.

It’s senior day so idk strange things can happen. Plus they’ll have that PG they were missing. They should beat all 3 of them on paper, yes. Im just saying they need to win at least one.

I actually thought Kelly and the second ref did reasonably well.  But the ref with the shaved head was gawd awful.

I've not been nervous at all this season.  I know this is the year we win game(s) in the Big Dance.  Lately, I've been looking for a Blaise appearance.  He can play a significant part down the road to get us to winning game(s) in the dance.  Might we see him tonight? 

Expand  

It’s already been announced by Coach Hoiberg a few games ago that Blaise was taking a medical redshirt this year. He moves like a 46 year old during warm ups. Serious.

I have no idea what the other one looked like (I'm stuck on radio), but that was the guy the radio guys were bagging on all game. 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

I remember specifically people on this board commenting that it was probably for the best vs burning a year for basically less than a quarter of the season. I think. Now I’m questioning my memory!!!
