Agree. I’ve preached that concept all year…. Getting out-volumed from three.

Outscored by 15 from the perimeter and missed three of four FTs. So frustrating. How are we only down four?

Another wide open three…. #6 already. Pathetic. All year for the most part. Can’t guard the perimeter. Why Iowa trounced us.

Completely lost on D, another wide open three.

Yes, we don’t deserve to be winning, but the Big10 officials stink as usual.

Just put these in the pre game / post game threads please!

Lousy defense again….

Shitty officiating already apparent and we still haven’t figured out how to guard the perimeter.

Post game thread my man.

Idk man. We run a lot of high ball screens, pick and roll situations with TJD. He’s not been racking up assists lately by just sitting in the post.

I wasn’t aware that JHS was a lottery pick or sure fire first rounder. I wouldn’t draft him in the first round. As good as a player as he is sometimes and can be, he’s very reckless with the ball, not good enough on defense, and he’s wildly inconsistent. Maybe he’s gone, but no we don’t know that for sure. Regardless, we don’t have “plenty” of shooting. Who on this team or who coming is going to be a volume three point shooter all of a sudden? With X back we’re solid at PG with Cupps, but we don’t have a 2 (no Bates isn’t the guy and neither is Gunn….at least not yet, hope we aren’t counting on that), TG as our 3, who’s the 4? Not seeing it the way you are. I’m confident Woody will fill the holes, but we certainly don’t have “plenty” of talent already on the roster after the departures of TJD, Race, Kopp, and especially if you’re assuming JHS is gone.

X, Cupps, JHS 🙏, Bates, Newton, TG, MR, JG…. Find us an elite shooter in the portal, an athletic 4, and another big…… and we can be tough again next year! With that said, let’s get back on track tomorrow, find some confidence and make a run this year!

This after Teshiebwe should have been ejected in the first few minutes of the game for throwing an elbow….. but miraculously was not thrown out. Not just Big10 officials that stink.

Couldn’t watch the second half. Up 20, lost!? Massive collapse. Learn from it. Don’t get anymore.

For how long? Should be a LONG suspension.

Was about to post this. Very good chance Maryland and Nwestern lose Sun and we end up the 3. Much prefer to be the 2 or 3.

X was jamming one handed in warmups of the Iowa game. Wonder why he wasn’t available for that game?

We beat Michigan and Rutgers beats Northwestern in Jersey and we’re likely to end up with a double bye.

Penn St just did what we should have done against Nwestern. Sent a double to Bouie. He had to give it up to Berry who missed a three. Need a basket from PSU here.

Consistency isn’t just about the wins and losses, it’s about how they play.

Going into the season….no, I didn’t think we were. But you don’t think we SHOULD have an outside chance given some of our performances this year? We’re going to be a top 3-5 seed for crying out loud with NO dominant teams out there. Have an all American on our team and one of the top freshmen in the country. On any given night we can beat anybody. It’s the consistency that’s lacking and I don’t understand it or who is to blame for that. But you sound like you’re making excuses already in case we fall on our faces or are disappointing in the tournament. I don’t think we can win the whole thing because we haven’t put multiple quality games together in a row, but I certainly think it’s possible. We have enough talent.

I lied. I had to vote just to see the results.

You should put these in the post game thread.

So wonderful! This includes a horrible display at Minny. Good luck playing that poorly and winning against quality teams in the tournament. We have definitely not played six quality games in a row this year (which could include a loss - not saying they had to be all wins - looking more at the performance). We are wildly inconsistent.

You’re right…. really speaking more to not being able to win 6 in the tournament against quality competition. But you are correct in that we went on a nice little streak. With that said. That included a really poor game at Minny and a non competitive game at MD. Not sure Minny should count, but to their defense, good teams find a way to win when they play poorly. We just can’t seem to find some consistency.
