I.d take that in a heartbeat. Tons of talent but no where close to all being on the same page. Not a good team. Of course saying that means they would pull it all together for us.

Nice current update for us here. Seems pretty good odds if we win 2 more

Not really. When you look up our official ncaa record it will show 1 tournament win. There is no real legitimate argument against it.

My list: Bigtime PG, spend money long athletic wing who can shoot Young 4-5 guy If Jano is not good enough to be a solid back up combo guard we will need to go find one of those as well. Hopefully Jano can fill that role and Frager and/or QR can be real contributors off the bench on the wing.

Very good points. I’m not to worried about Illini yet. If they beat Iowa at home (jinx off) they should stay Q1 so I think we will have 5 Q1 wins which is still better than most of those bubble teams behind. I still feel pretty confident with 2 more wins but would not call it a lock by any means. I’m sure there will be a lot of changes in these last 2 weeks so we better just take care of our own business and win our way in.

Seems like it should be a good night for us beside Illinois. Ore st got win 20, St Mary got Gonzaga again, Ore wins, and numerous bubble teams lose. Get that win Monday and we will be sitting really well.

Chucky got a big bag for sure. The Ville was not messing around and appears to have paid off.

Agree I see him as a combo now and hopefully PG later. I’ve only seen highlights (lots) and the scrimmage but I thought his handle was pretty good and I remember areal nice pass or two in the scrimmage. Don’t have a feel for his athleticism, might not be great but didn’t seem like he is slow or anything. I’m looking forward to see what he can do.

Glad we are not paying them. Parker has not been good at all, think Rollie is shooting better from 3 than him. Omaha barely got time when healthy. Definitely hoping they don’t make the tourney.

A lot of great coaches prefer 7-8 man rotations, it is very common. I think Jay Wright was a top 1-3 coach and he had short rotations most of the time. You play those 9-11 types early as you can so if you have injuries / fouls they have some experience. If not go with your best players down the stretch. I had no issues with Meah sitting but I’m sure glad we have him now. That’s good depth to me.

Jano does not appear to be missing any weight room sessions either.

For my money I think Barnheiser was their best. He was great on offense and defense where Martinelli can be had on defense but scores a little more. Either way we need to take advantage of that game now.

BK was in A LOT of pain going to the locker room. Hope he is a quick recoverer but I’m not expecting him for a few games unfortunately. Thur will be tough without him. Hopefully we can take advantage of their bigs with our small lineup. Great win

Him with only 1 year left isn’t as desirable to me. I hope we are after a younger big to take over after Mast/BK.

Thought he was great on Defense too.

I just think we communicated switches much better in H2. First half seemed to be a lot of confusion / lack of attention which led to some of those wide open looks. Might be why RW started the second half, he was playing good def.

We did not beat them that bad

Might be true for you and a lot of people but might be the best decision for him. Hard to judge other people’s personal reasons/decisions on something like that.

They have talent on the roster I think but they end up watching the two Frosh dominate the ball. That hopefully plays into our hands. We need a good one to get some momentum back.

And I don’t think I’d lump NW as a bottom dweller yet

Maybe they aren’t as terrible as some folks think.

You need to come back for the next alumni game

I think it is going to be a straight 5 years, no redshirt. Be nice for the guys this year, could have got some PT at least.

NW got bent over at the end, wow. NW is pretty good again unfortunately.

I just want to make sure we win at least 2 of our next five. No gimmes at all.
