Would like to see them go up against Purdue. Arizona is pretty good, but a team that makes 16-36 3s at home with one of the better crowds i've seen at a game this season should beat them. Kofi played soft at times, until they started going to him late in the second half. If Frazier and Plummer don't start going crazy from 3s Arizona walks away in that game.

I watched Arizona early in the season and their top 4, iirc, are all transfers. They looked very mature and solid. Great ball movement, finding the open guy. Not sure how that went against Illinois, must have been good enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to dive in a bit on what seems to be ailing them besides loss of players. Was looking at their B10 schedule once that resumes...at Rutgers, Sparty, Purdue, at Illinois...if they don't figure it out they'll be 1-5 in conference real quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Smith > Davante Jones Franz Wagner > Brandon Johns Isaiah Livers > Caleb Houstan (for now...Houstan will be pretty good if he stays more than 1 year) And the bench hit of Chaundee Brown and Austin Davis hurts... I couldn't believe they were so highly ranked at the beginning of the season...Diabate is pretty good too, but freshmen are so inconsistent...

When you lay it out like this it makes perfect sense. So ranking was name only. I know it's fun to talk rankings and stuff but I almost wish they would just wait until January 1st. Some really good teams never get ranked....and some teams that have no business being ranked keep hanging on in top 25 all year because of lofty preseason rankings. While on subject....Ohio St looks really, really good to me gang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Just like Illinois...you think they would have lost that game yesterday with Dosunmu playing? Not on your life... At the end, Underwood would have broken out that special playbook (the one that says "Ayo Iso!") and the Illini would have walked away with a W... But Ayo is in Chicago... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhoosier29 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 The world tried to pretend like the Big10 was going to be down this year ….. not so sure about that. A couple teams, Maryland and Michigan, are underachieving, and maybe PSU is really bad, but other than that Minny, Wiscy, Iowa, and Rutgers appear to be better than we thought! Just no easy games.

The non-con gives us a measuring stick as to the B1G's toughness. The NCAAT is where we will be ultimately judged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bad decisions on offense down the stretch were killers - Kofi taking a mid range shot and Plummer getting a 5 sec call. Need Curbelo back, I think he'll be there for Jan but is it too late? Plummer's been "going crazy" all season, it was good to see Trent get his game going. 4 hours ago, rico said: We will see what 'Zona has here in about 10 days.

Several European kids that really know how to play. They do have a couple of reserves that are transfers. Mathurin and Tubelis are first round NBA picks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
