4-5 or 3-6 is also very possible unfortunately. Shouldn’t be worse than 3-6 to jeopardize our tourney chances though.

Most recent ESPN… and look who they have as the 2 seed.

Looks like we’re up to 7 in the most recent.

Boy, UM must have just had the game of their season against us. Underwhelming in the two games since. But why should we be surprised?

Oh I agree. We have competed with everybody, so there’s zero reasons to expect otherwise. Some on here act like CMW is satisfied with this or that and he knows his team is just this or that. I call crap on that. He came saying he wasn’t rebuilding. He wanted to win from the get-go. He may know we have some limitations on the floor but that doesn’t mean we can’t get around those or he is just fine settling for being 6th or 7th. And I’m thankful for that. He has high expectations, whether some fans do or not.

Cautiously, sure, but I need to see it. NWestern to me will be a much tougher road win. We’re better, but we’ve struggled at that place. Neb didn’t do much for me bc they are really bad. MD has got me thinking we might be turning the corner from a “road” standpoint. Beat Nwestern and I start thinking anything is possible moving forward.

Looked at it again tonight and noticed that they fixed it. It now says 7 and includes TJD in the narrative.

I would be thrilled with 5-4 in that stretch. Although 7-2 is realistic I think that is a little too optimistic. I hope like hell I’m wrong but I’d be pretty surprised if we beat both Nwestern and Minny on the road, and beating Purdue on the road ….. well 🧐.

Says the sports writer… 🤣

Not sure where to put this, but more disrespect out there. ESPN says Big Ten has “6” players on mid season Wooden list…. Actually 7, named everybody but TJD. 😡

I know we’re probably about where we should be (31), but why does it seem every other team gets a massive boost with a big win (similar records) and we seem to get no respect. Alabama is back on the brink with a lot of head-scratching losses. I know they have some good wins, but they’ve played mediocre basketball of late.

3 out of 5 would be big time.

Should win at home. Keep the momentum going.

UK won’t come close to shooting 62% again this year.

Think he just got benched bc he wasn’t adding much. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still don’t like some of the shot selection from XJ, but we aren’t where we are right now without him. I’ve been pretty hard on him in the past, but he’s our MVP IMO. Race and TJD were warriors on both ends. Would really love it if TJD could stop missing 2-3 layups every game, but I think he makes up for it. JG’s energy was a big key today almost as much as XJ’s. Sky seems to be the limit for him. TG was big-time as he typically is off of the bench. Kopp hit a couple big shots, but didn’t get much out of him, PS, or TB combined. Impressive to win without much contribution from the three of them. Can tell TB is really pressing. Ceiling can truly be up there if we get everybody clicking at once. No letdown against Illinois.

Kopp sure has a way of killing our momentum.

Just institute a shot clock, 40 secs.

Like the 1st half of last game for the entire game!

Probably, but still…. somebody running their mouth at you would cause you to act like that!? Tuck your head and take your rear-end to the locker room after you lose. Unless somebody put their hands on you, quit acting like a fool. He’s prob the weakest kid on the team too.

What an idiot that Fla kid is…. geez, that’s all it took… the gator chomp for him to act that way!?

Both… we’ll be up 7-8 at the half, but end up losing by 7-8.

Inconsistent? Say it ain’t so. Surprised you didn’t get lashed for that comment.

It’s life man. It’s not always fair or ideal. I have always been a big Rob fan, but I think his time is up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know it’s taboo to talk about future roster construction, but this is a discussion board. Nobody has to participate if they don’t want to. On top of that, I’m fairly certain I wasn’t disrespectful or hateful about it. I appreciate anybody that chooses to play here and represents us well. I’m still curious to know what the roster will look like next year. Sorry?

I would too, but outside of him and the dirty one….. who can they rely on? Nobody. I definitely think we are more talented overall. They just seem to have a habit in place and a coach that recruits the right kids for his style that he gets the most out of. I’m optimistic CMW will get us there. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have beat them in Madison and shouldn’t beat them at our place.
