BDB Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 9 hours ago, IU Scott said: I just see the problems we have are the same problems that the majority of teams have across college basketball. There are a few top teams that are playing well and then you have a bunch of teams that are in the middle and a lot of mediocrity. A majority of the teams across college basketball have their names on the back if their jersey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I see that Pitt won at Chapel Hill. Clemson visits the Dean Dome this week-end. Carolina is 59-0 at home vs. the Tigers all-time. The Irish fall to the Wolf Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Impressive win for Illini. Beat Michigan, Purdue, and now at Wiscy in short order. Maybe I need to reevaluate things over there because with them and now Rutgers at 3-1 I believe....I can honestly say there isn't an easy game on our schedule home or away all year.

We just played the weakest team on our schedule. That scares the hell out of me. If we win at either Rutgers or Nebraska I'll be shocked. And those are 2 of the most winnable games left.

At this rate I'm trying to figure out how many road games we have a chance at to offset the home losses coming so we can still finish 10-10.

IU Scott Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Roy Williams said this years team is the least gifted team he has ever coached. I see him starting to go for more one and done players and he has not adjusted to it that well. he has had 3 in the last 2 years where he only had a few the rest of his career. He seemed to do so well getting players from the 20-75 range who stayed 3 or 4 years and the team was able to get better year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sold on Auburn. They've played a very weak schedule. SEC is way down from last year. Unfortunately KY may win the SEC by default. ARK may be next best. They almost knocked off LSU in Baton Rouge last night. Trendon Watford scored the winning points. Finished with 21 & 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And publicly saying this is the "least gifted" team he has coached is trash. Things like the team isn't working hard, etc. are one thing, saying you're players are not "gifted"? YOu actually approve of that? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Nebraska and Rutgers are 2 of the most winnable left. Didn't say they were the most. In fact I see us losing there. Of the games left I'd guess they go like this unless a lightbulb comes on real quick: OSU loss @Rutgers loss @Nebraska win(iffy on this) MSU loss Md loss @PSU loss @OSU loss PU win Iowa win @Michigan loss @Minny win(another iffy one) PSU win @PU loss @Illinois loss Minny win Wisconsin loss The only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is that even though there are a lot of good teams none(except MSU maybe) are really really good. Every year there's always a couple teams that are hot and then fade once they get into the middle of the schedule. Penn state nd Iowa come to mind or us last year. Smh. Minnesota is always good for a collapse with little Ricky as well. I would be more excited about the rest of the year had we beaten Northwestern handily. Oh well. Go Hoosiers!!!
