You thought the officiating was poor? That was the best officiated game I’ve seen in the Big10 this year IMO. Who cares that they reviewed X’s foul, it WAS intentional, but they got it right. He could have actually just gone for the ball to try to steal it instead of blatantly fouling, which made it look awkward. And I thought the ball was coming down when Ware blocked it. He does that A LOT by the way…. interested to know how many goaltendings he has this year. Enjoyed the style of play tonight much more than usual. Great effort on D for the most part. My only two complaints, FREE THROWS!!! and I’ll never understand why you even allow Sandfort to catch the ball. Guy was feeling it and there were multiple moments where our guys weren’t even looking at him or ready to guard him.

You “EXPECT” change, or are hoping for it? 😂

He better learn to shoot again. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not sure how much of a change of scenery helps that.

He can turn and face but not with his elbows swinging to create that space.

He’s not allowed to create space that is already taken.

I was there as well. I think I’m part of the problem. Was also at the Purdue RMK game. Think we’ve lost 4 of the 5 home games I’ve attended in the last five years. Will be at the Wiscy game this year, so anybody expecting a win may need to think twice. 😬

I think you should make it one of the three musketeers. 😉

I don’t think MR subconsciously decides he isn’t passing it bc other guys can’t shoot. I think he just tucks his head and is determined to shoot and only passes it if he simply can’t get a shot off, which has also led to a high turnover rate for him. I get what you’re saying, but he’s essentially saying, the hell with being a good teammate and playing the right way, I’m just going to duck my head and shoot it every time and show everybody I’m not the problem. He’s likely not subconsciously saying that to himself either, but that’s what it looks like. My opinion MAY be slightly different IF I felt like he worked hard on the defensive end and rebounding the basketball.

Can’t vote…. Not one player had a solid “all-around” game.

No offense, but 12-22 on FTs and giving up 13 offensive rebounds doesn’t scream a lot of effort. You believe they are putting in the effort in practice shooting FTs and blocking out? Or outside of practice when it comes to FTs? I didn’t post during the game thread and wasn’t planning on posting in this thread bc I didn’t want to “pile on” with the negative comments. But which part are we supposed to be getting behind? Just so I know how to be a better fan.

What’s “nornally” mean? 😉

16 seems like the right answer, but with 15 you’re rewarding the regular season champ with a bye. So I get it. But I’m sure there’s more to it than that….

Is Dolson basketball savvy enough to know if he’s being fed crap?

I’m down on CMW. This year has been unacceptable in my book, but I think he’s earned one more year 😬 and I hope he turns the ship around. But I don’t think it happens without schematic changes and better recruiting quickly. I’m wondering if he’s just too stubborn to change anything though, which in that case I expect most of us to rightfully be ready to make a change.

@ledies22 it was sarcasm.

Can he play a guard position and shoot it?

I don’t know man. I don’t think it’s okay to just lean in and head butt somebody in the chest. It wasn’t a gentle leaning in and he touched him. He threw his head forward, definitely on purpose. I think you T the Wiscy kid up and toss CJ for the elbow. Nobody shoots, possession doesn’t change.

Agree with Woodson somewhat on this. CJ was an idiot for reacting and deserved to be ejected IMO, but the Wisconsin punk should have at least gotten T’d up for the head to the chest, bc it WAS intentional. My question, what the hell are the officials looking at to not reprimand the Wisconsin kid? Are those officials THAT ignorant and blind? That’s frustrating when you have replay and it’s right in front of your face and you still don’t get it right. Disclaimer: This had no impact on the outcome of the game.

I don’t. Malik doesn’t work hard on the boards or on defense most of the time. So I can’t feel bad for him.

The crazy thing is outside of at Illinois and at Purdue, every other game the rest of the way is winnable. Speaks to how bad the Big10 is this year. Certainly not saying we should win them all, and definitely not saying I think we will, because we’ve been bad and they’ve given us no reason to believe they can. But purely looking at the strength of what we have left on our schedule along with where they are….. CMW has a chance to somewhat salvage this miserable season to the point where they could have some confidence going into the Big10 tournament.

We’re still showing up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Might be doing a lot of complaining right now, but we’re still here.

Ware or no Ware, it won’t matter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This has all made me believe that maybe Fife wasn’t the issue.

No, didn’t see anything as ignorant, and certainly didn’t mean to insinuate the such.

Neither is very good or likely to happen, but it is entertaining seeing the optimism of some. And please don’t take offense to that because I’m the opposite and need a more balanced perception sometimes that makes me think “maybe it could happen”. Nah, who am I fooling? 😂
