But he’s a good guy, seemingly good recruiter and with player development. He’s a good fit for Ohio state. This might not have anything to do with Holtman, might just be the kid's nature or it could be the atmosphere Holtman has created, but I watched the beginning of their game during last week and their guard, Jackson I think, was jumping up and down after the lineup announcements and ran up and down the bench hugging each coach as he went onto the floor for the tip-off. That kid was amped and ready to play and you could tell he loved the staff and loved just being there. Since Archie got here, our guys look like they couldn't care less as they get ready to play. I'm ready for a return to actual enthusiasm and energy. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Holtmann talk about Washington and said how much he loves him but during the game he could strangle him sometimes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Good deal for Maryland today....helps us since we beat them. Beat Sparty on Tuesday and I think people will inch back up in those seats by the weekend. My comment isn't a cause for a status of the program talk....just saying right now we have a chance. Get Tuesday and see what happens. NCAA will take 9 from the Big 10. Why not us be #9 instead of Sparty?

If we beat MSU this week, going to West Lafayette with a tournament bid on the line is going to be quite the emotional affair... And the game’s at 2 p.m. on a Saturday? Mods have to be losing sleep thinking about that, lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready for a return to actual enthusiasm and energy. I agree. I got roasted though for saying I just thought our guys on the court, bench, and even in the post game pressers just seem to not be happy or the joy had been sucked out of the team. I know a lot has to do with winning but most the guys just seem so melancholy. Anyways glad I’m not the only one who notices such things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just an overall appearance of a lack of enthusiasm. Even dating back to previous years when it would be a big game and the Hall would be packed, during the starters being announced our guys walk out like they're completely board out of their minds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His players look confident and comfortable on the court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spe317 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Didn’t much love his attitude in the IU game either. Not exactly a warm and fuzzy. Best of luck though. Maybe he will find success somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we finish 11th in the conference we would play them in the first round of the BTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
