Southside

Yes 5-8 now given our ranks. Again, best ranked D1 with the same losses. And we were dropping, and already fortunate. Check out NET resumes. If we drop another regular season game, or stinks up in the B10C, we're as close to 6-7 as we are 3 or 4. I'm just realistic given ranks right now. Several other teams have similar or better resumes.

still attending practice...

IU 84 Iowa 75

I said early that the X win would help late season. X is a still good win. X is still in NET, still top25, and can improve vs against #20 Prov this year.

#5 and dropping before tonight. Big win for us at PU, so we should be #4low or #5rising on the next prediction. We should win the next 2. B10 tournament will matter. If we step on our dicks in the last 2 games, or early on the B10C, no bueno. But an strong finish could be 3ish, even low-2 is possible.

They've improved. Like IU. I enjoy that you've been more optimistic this year, but you're still trollish sometimes. Did you forget when PU beat both Zags and Duke by 15+ early. I know Duke isn't elite, but still top 30ish in NET, and Zag is 10ish now..

Disagree we are with 3 right now. We should win the last 2 games. But I agree we could end up be a 3 with a good showing in the B10 championship. We are 4-8 vs Q1 teams. Best ranked D1 team with 9 losses, so we are already fortunate. ESPN had us #5 before a WLW week. I'd say we are #4 now.

Both teams 8 wins in the last 11 games.... that's 72%. Maryland is #22, NW is #38 in NET... IU is #20... So road loss games vs #20, 22, and 38.. and a home loss vs 20 (which will improve).... It's simply trend and math. NW and Maryland are predicted 5-7ish seeds, and IU is likely a 4-7ish... Any road loss to any of those teams is bad. PU has a best big guys in the nation... Their Gs are failing at times. That's it.

Yup, feeling similar.. Never thought TJD came back, but starting thinking the same with JHS. One and done guys are good (for recruiting) but sucks in other ways. I'm not sure we are "that team" yet, but I'd love if we'd be a team that re-loaded. Regardless, more optimistic of the future (recruiting, coaching, etc..)

Their 4 losses... 2 IU, and two road games vs NW and Maryland (both good teams). Maryland is up and down, but 8 wins in the last 11 games. NW is 8/11 too. So lets not act they're chumps.

He's peaking though. And starting more and more showing in 1R mocks. And getting more consistent. Felt strongly he'd back (earlier this year), but it's a coin flip for me now. If he had a strong B10 tourney, and/or dance, he gone...

He played almost the entire game. Great game. He might have had better games, but he played the best in one counted most.

I'm got the DVR replaying it lol.... I was on the phone with my best buddy from IN (right after the game) ..... He's a big PU fan.... He predicted a close game, and I predicted 10+ pt PU win.. lol. We were both wrong. Only one was sad... 5+ years ago I recorded all games on my PC (capture card) and converted... Stopped when I got tired of sucking... Should have started again last year...

If he keep this stuff up.... we gonna be fun in the dance... and sad next season...

Felt strongly he'd be back next year.... before this game...

IDK. PU's shots just didn't fall. Pre-season, we all (and the nation) thought they'd struggle at guard. They did better we expected. But a lot of teams (even the better teams) will have trouble with Edey. I'm still a bit confused about what I just saw tonight. TJD with zero pts at the half. Zero pts from our pts at half. PU had 46 boards vs IU's 30. Our PG play was great, and our 3pt % at 47%... Crazy.... pinch me.

He'd be our unquestioned leader and focal point next season. His #s should jump big time. Right now, he's 20s to 50s. Some don't list him in first two rounds. We have another month+ to watch his improvement. I'd love to see him take us deep into the dance, and improve his draft status, but regardless, I think another year is best for him (long term).

My thoughts too. Consistency lacks. Flashes are awesome, but he's improving in every way. My bet, he comes back. And is a top 10 pick next year.

Have zero no idea what Woody is thinking, or about his concerns... , but my thoughts...... We need X no doubt for the stretch, and playoffs. JHS is growing and improving, and don't want to screw that up... In short, best situation... he comes 100%, but can play well with JHS, and the chemistry built between JHS and TJD.

I've heard both NW and IL... The person I trust most said Woody wants IL, but can go with NW if needed. But who knows. I'd put money on IL, if I had to bet...

Giggling too.... gotta love father/son love over winning....

Big games for them coming up. Kent next week. Toledo is at Ball State to end the regular season too. And Akron is tied with them too right now, and is 2nd last. Can't screw up vs NI...

Need to take 3 home games, and steal one road games. I'd be stoked if we can start with a NW win
