Pitchford absolutely deserves P.O.G

Find a way. Maybe run something other than this TP fadeaway

Just play pitch the rest of the game

Just remember what the last 5 years have been like, and I bet you can imagine it

Brutal game

Did these guys not know it's a media timeout?

We're on pace for 24 so that's good

Rough start for Ray. Expect to see a lot of Nate

Hammond isn't going to come in and perform on an All Big 10 level his freshman year. In that case, Serge is our one big man away and he's already on the roster. Oh, wait.No, I don't think you can count Hammond. I think you have to say we're one contributing big away. I guy who is starter-worthy. Not just any big. And, heck, maybe Hammond comes in right off the bat and is the guy we need him to be but that's not likely unless he's a 5-star, future lottery pick. So we've been one big man away for over ten years

Why recruit two backups? If they're coming in as juco transfers they should either be expected to start or pass on them. I'm sure they would expect to start and I doubt they'd be interested in going anywhere to sit the bench. And I suspect they think they're good enough to start immediately at whatever school they end up signing with.So, if you want them, you should be willing to pencil them in as starters. If you can't pencil (not pen, but pencil) them in as starters, then we should look elsewhere. Like 2015. I see what you are saying, but then why would we be recruiting Deng, if he's a SF? He wouldn't start over Shields, I wouldn't think. I would say Deng should be a plan B-. I love the Hammond signing, like the recruitment of Dickerson if he is as good as you guys say. Love Atwood if his stats are even half as good for next year. Just not sold on Deng.

I thought that Hammond was our "one big away"?

I'd go: Webster - Dickerson Petteway - Hawkins Shields- Fuller Pitchford - Atwood Hammond - Smith

When this game started it felt a lot like Creighton. I kept waiting for them to miss a shot. Waitin, waitin'. Michigan was cash cash cash Nebraska came and played like trash We should have lost by 40; sigh. But holy cow, nice dunk Kye.

Do we still have those jerseys from last year where you could barely see the names on the backs, but they were still pretty cool? The NBA ones?

To be fair, that block on Ray was 100% a block. Not even close

Not as bad as the Creighton game

Let's make a bit of a run!

So many open looks. Gotta lock them down

I just saw Ray on campus less than 30 minutes ago, so they haven't left yet. Hope they don't have any troubles

I don't think he will in conference play. He knows the slim margin of error for this team and won't cross the line.

I would say giving Ray more drives into the lane which creates more free throws for him and may open up more threes. If he could curl some of the off ball screens and finish around the rim, that'd be huge

So basically we have to go 7-3 from here out to make it? Gotta win on the road

Disagree. If we beat Michigan, then yes, it is a bad result for us. However, there is a good chance we don't beat Michigan. In that case, a Michigan win over Indiana does nothing for us. But an Indiana win over Michigan makes our win over Indiana look better. Simple math. We play Indiana once and Michigan twice. Not sure how it could even be debated. We play Indiana twice. Second to last game of the season is in Bloomington
