Clutch.

[GATA]

Really? We just give the dribbler a freaking wide open three. We really deserve to lose this game.

Shavon just turned to coach miles, pointed to himself, as yelled "Give me the ball!"

[GATA]

Petteway...ugh...

Yeah, would have liked Shields to have the ball.

[GATA]

Benny!

[GATA]

I've got to eat crow on Benny. He's definitely a spark plug defensively and he's shown he can knock down an open mid-range jumper and sometimes catch the defense sleeping for a layup.

[GATA]

Also, that was a scary in-bounds sequence. Yikes.

[GATA]

And we just clinched a non-losing Big Ten record. 

 

BOOM!

[tcp]

well, that locks up the NIT. that's good. 3 chances to win 2 now.

[TomEadesSucks]

Not pretty, but I'll take it. 

[brfrad]

Shields 17 and 10.

[KZRider]

Wins don't have to be pretty. We ground out a win and that's worth a ton. Very proud of these guys.

[GATA]

Not pretty, but I'll take it. 

 

Yeah, that definitely was ugly.

[GATA]

Like someone said earlier, this should clinch an NIT berth. If things don't go our way in the next three or four games and we miss out on the Big Dance, at least we have some extra basketball. It's a sign of progress, and I'll still be thrilled.

Think about it. Do we have any chance to make a run in the ncaa or even big 10 tourney without Ray?? No. So let him break the funk. All he needs is 1. I'm not saying he should be forcing shots but if he's open fire away

 

This post nails it. Amen. Gallegos MUST get going.

[kldm64]

Our NIT bid was already sealed.  We are just playing for the #1 seed in NIT if we don't make the big dance.

I have no problem with Ray shooting the ball, but right now he needs to shoot when he's clearly open or when the shot clock is winding down because he either has zero confidence or his shot is simply b-r-o-k-e.

 

If we're being honest, Ray was never a really good 3-point shooter, he was just a guy who took a lot of 3-pointers. As bad as he's been this year, he's actually shooting better from long range than last season.

For the most part today he had open looks at the bucket, Was just short on them.
