milehiiu Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 28 minutes ago, DWB said: I watched a fair amount of that game, and it appeared to me that all you have to do is shut down Winston, and the snake is dead. There were several possessions that Duke didn't even allow Winston to touch the ball, much less do anything with it. MSU seemed lost without Winston's leadership and control of the offense. Fact. Teams are vulnerable when they have to depend upon one or even two players. We just saw it happen to Marquette. We saw it last year with IU. And what makes this team so great, as opposed to last year, when IU depended upon Romeo and Juwan. Yeah, Green was off the hook against FSU. However, we don't have to depend upon him every game. IU has multiple bullets in the chamber this year. The fact that Rob, was not leading the O vs FSU. And that Coach Miller sat De'Ron due to match up's against FSU....says that Coach Miller has many options. Depending on the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus guys like Anderson, Thompson...and yes, Hunter are going to play...and grow as this season goes on. And come February/March this team is going to be significantly better, deeper, stronger, more connected and closer, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I was going to say do what Michigan did? They went from un ranked to a historic rise to #4 in a week! But, they promptly lost their next game. They will probably fall to #5..... BTW, Has anyone noticed where CAMs old team is ranked?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGERVOL Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 If we can beat Wisconsin and we keep improving we could win a few more... idk if that would do our team good confidence wise or if it would start to be an ego thing and come plummeting back down. If we moved up we’re gonna come back down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 A win in the Kohl Center in the same week as a convincing win over FSU is a good start. But to really prove ourselves, we need to beat Stephen F Austin and Evansville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing we won't be ranked, in men's basketball, at any point during this season. We will probably make the NCAA Tournament, but never ranked.
