I almost burned down my house tonight - good or bad omen for tomorrow?

Easy now...

Still awaiting the review.

Bryce and CJ terrify me every time we see a press.

The nice thing about all 3 of them, I don't think any of them are necessarily looking to be Head Coaches right now. Coach Ernie seems pretty settled in his role, Coach Howard does too and he's too young/unpolished, and Coach Loesner essentially gets to be a co-Head Coach with this team. I think Coach found himself a loyal, engaged, intelligent group of dudes.

NU - 72 MU - 70

We’re either not going to realize how good we had it, or were gonna win by 400 when we get away from big ten refs.

My oh my Rutgers is so bad.

KT grew a pair and is gonna lead us home.

This team is infuriating to watch at times. Literally everyone is basically being full-denied/no touched, and no one has the skill or nuts to take it to the rim. Also, Bryce Williams is a microcosm of this team. Either objectively terrible or the best player on the court.

We're simultaneously the best and worst team in the nation. Everything these guys do either pisses me off or amazes me, really no middle ground.

This defense is very much an "analytics" defense. On the average it is going to workout very well because it takes away (in theory) the biggest risks an opposing team can provide. However, this defense's biggest flaw is when one dude decides he's going to go off. There is no answer, because to face guard/no catch a guy, or maintain one primary defender on them, it would ruin the entire structure of the defense. Which terrifies me about an NCAA tourney game, when those games are typically decided by a dude being a dude.

I've never been sure who annoys me more - the guy who always thinks it's the refs fault, or the guy who refused to acknowledge how much officiating impacts the game.

Kinda saw that one coming, oh well, we move on.

NU 73 OSU 74

Been happening all season. But, fwiw, weren't both of Bryce's latest Lob attempts off of KT passses? Got fouled last night.

We played like hot crap in multiple areas of the game and won by 20. Love it… I think?

NU 80 MU 81

Eh, I wouldn’t really say he’s been the focus tho?

Could you imagine a guy like Ware playing with Mast?

NU- 80 IU - 78

I watched some highlights of Brit Prince and was curious - thought I’d come to this board for my question. Are we talking like “Caitlyn Clark” potential here (I know, ridiculous comparison) or more like a Jaz Shelly? What’s her ceiling?

Good teams start making wins look routine and expected at the end of the year. We looked like that today. Nice job fellas
