You’re right. And if we’re in a position to have a resume picked apart, we just missed one of our two non-con chances for a quality win. The rest will be lumped into Big Ten play.

Cip is around a bit. Posted a Klaus Nomi video the other day.

Wasn’t able to watch, but was glad to see us handle their fast start and keep it together. That alone feels like growth, and that we’re heading in the right direction. Was it enough growth to win the next game? Who knows? Gotta stop the cock bringer and ass wart.

Every road game on our schedule is a Q1 right now except Washington, which is borderline Q1.

The tough conversations will happen soon. “Listen you’ll still get your NIL, but you won’t get your minutes.”

I’m so glad we got a 7-1 rim protector who is a trash rebounder.

I’m traveling today and hoping to find a spot that will switch one screen from the NFL to our game for me. Finger’s crossed.

Honestly when he gets an open corner look I think it’s going in.

I agree to an extent that offense/defense substitutions can skew one way or the other. But when Sam is creating fast break points with his defense, it skews the other way really quickly. And last night he did that.

Must be part of the “Total Shave November” thing.

That’s a good point. I have to assume though that without Meah, then Morgan picking up two fouls, those minutes were likely not part of the plan. We’ll have to see if they become part of the plan or not.

SM - 69 NU - 76

Just when you think the rotation is about to shrink, Cale Jacobsen does this.

Ya jinxed it.

And there is a Morgan foul in like 30 seconds.

I think we can though, we just haven’t yet.

Anything but start Morgan. If I had to guess they’re worried he’ll get in foul trouble. He has 5 in 31 minutes so far.

Hope it’s nothing serious.

FDU 62 NU 85

The middle of each half should be pretty safe vs being in the bonus. But if we’re there and the opponent is trying to expose it we can adjust. From these first two games he’d be the first players who’s minutes I would reduce.

Meah is 7’1” and had 4 boards in 20 minutes. That’s not great with how poorly both teams were shooting. Morgan had 3 boards in 11 minutes and at least is a threat to shoot from deep. Those minutes need to swap. Meah should play roughly the middle 6 minutes of each half and not be out there in crunch time or when we’re trying to set the pace we want.

I feel like I felt after the first Minnesota game last year - Does Brice care? Is there locker room cancer? Why are certain players getting the minutes they are? We figured it out well after that game last year. Hoping we can this year too. And it’s earlier in the season, so it could end up being a plus to meet that moment now.

Wtf is happening? This is a farce.

What was wrong with that guy? I’ve never seen someone hobble quite like that. Was he cramping AND concussed?

Fred better be as mad as Fred gets at halftime.
