we need somebody to make some shots

missed Essegian wide open

not to mention Meah got taken down on the offensive possession.

should be a technical foul on the offense. that's bs soccer crap.

flop. he baited him.

what a bullshit call. what the hell?

need a lot better offensive possessions

can't play Morgan

pretty weak foul call

would be a good time for Brice to win another national player of the week.

Feels like if we get the Michigan game we will be pretty close to in. Probably would get a solid look even just getting at Ohio State. I think two and we are in without bubble anxiety. Hoping we win at least three and get some momentum.

I was just musing on why we played so poorly last night. Maybe we would have been better getting home for a couple nights. What's a flight to Chicago? A little over an hour? Plus you aren't changing a timezone. Just a thought.

Maybe we should have flown home after the Northwestern game and then flown to Pennsylvania on Tuesday?

Morgan got 2 fouls in 90 seconds... Without Berke inside what we are trying to do on defense isn't going to work with Morgan.

I guess we did what we needed to do for the road trip. Disappointing tonight. Doesn't seem we were mentally ready. We miss Berke a lot. I thought Meah should have got the start tonight. Beating Michigan would make up for tonight. A bit of pressure now.

need Berke back in the worst way. I think I'm out.

we are in trouble.

can't take care of the ball at all

up to a 9 seed - keep winning

Need to get this one. It's a big swing game. A win keeps us in a bye for the conference tournament, puts us at .500, plus makes the Michigan home game one to likely lockup a tournament spot. A win might also take some pressure off the remaining games where then hopefully we just play as a confident basketball team.

I'm not a big proponent of redshirts but think he should use his next year. Use it to put on 20 pounds. Remember when Ray Gallegos did that (took a redshirt after playing two years)? Hopefully Griffiths sticks around, I'm not sure transferring again would be the right move. It seems like he needs time in a system and a bit more weight.

No.

That's why I was wondering what the rules say. Looking at it in slow mo, Brice's arm probably gets grabbed before he starts his motion. He is fouled, his foot lands on the big 10 logo then he takes one more step and dunks. Since there is no continuation the foul is probably on the floor. My guess is the ref got it right. I do wonder about making a play like that an intentional foul or extending what's allowed for continuation. The other option with this one would have been for the ref to not make a call.

It doesn't help that the ref points to the wrong spot. The foul comes around the big 10 logo. Brice took an extra step after the foul. What are the rules? I would have said his dunking motion started during the foul. The defensive player didn't really go for the ball either. Luckily Brice made one foul shot so it didn't matter.

I went back and watched his minutes. He did a lot of good things. I'd play him a bit against Penn State when Sam needs a breather. Griffiths probably isn't in the rotation once Berke gets back but could provide some minutes now. His three point shot has to be accounted for and his length on defense actually makes it difficult on shooters.
