This would be a HUGE win to start the Allen era. I will agree with those that say Wilson improved the program but the bottom line is that you could argue that the Missouri win in 2014 was his only decent win (you might be able to add beating a .500 PSU team) in SIX YEARS.

It is frustrating. Play to play you have no idea what you are going to get. The accuracy, lack of consistency, is a big issue.

He calls Assembly Hall the "Carnegie Hall of Basketball" which gives him a lifetime pass in my opinion.

The odd and frustrating thing is that I will not be shocked at all if we beat L'ville. Crean has beat a ton of really good teams but as some poster recently stated he has not shown the capability of beating 5-6 decent teams in a row (hence the sweet 16 ceiling).

The turnovers are a killer year after year and many tie them to "playing fast" but many of the turnovers have nothing to do with playing fast but rather poor decisions/IQ.

I do not understand him in there down the stretch, Eating up some first half minutes...OK, but not down the stretch of a close game.

They are really good. Only lost to Gardner Webb by 8.

That layup was a killer. doubt we pull it out but if we do....NB deserves the win tonight.

Our "lotto pick" getting schooled on the defensive boards

Crean has plenty of faults, as are occasionally mentioned on the board ( :) ) but he has won more than a couple of decent Big Ten road games. I looked at the schedule and still think we can get 6 on the road.

That was classy. Just like Knight would have handled the situation.

I agree and Newkirk has to realize that we do not need him to shoot often as we have four other starters, which is a luxury, that can shoot.

14-4 and win the conference again. In conference we were 6-3 on the road last year and I think we can duplicate that this year.

Good catch. Seemed as though OG played a lot more than 19. I incorrectly thought Crean was nuts playing OG so much (or so I thought) but 19 minutes was a good number.

Even after a few years I still cannot believe we beat out Incarnate Word for Priller.

Makes no sense as MSB is the most efficient player in the NCAA (or NBA ).

Looking forward to the post that says it should have been 60-8.....

Sometimes Crispin does not shut up but overall I like hearing the perspective of a guy that recently played in the Big Ten. He is right-on in regards to his Newkirk comments.

In addition we should try playing the rest of the game with 4 players on the court.

Call me crazy but I think there is a good chance we could win the Mid-Eastern Athletic conference.

Saving our energy for the big Houston Baptist game.

That was often the issue with Noah V. He would stand sideways, not even come close to seałing his guy, and stick his hand up for the ball. No passing angle.

We need him for the hooker U game but in the big picture the BT and NCAA tourney are much more important.

Not that it ever bent me out of shape but I am sure many are glad to see us beat the number 3 team and not storm the court. Winning the BT and beating ranked teams is helping with that. great to see some good D (most of the game) and I really thought they would kill us on the boards. Did not get hurt by seoond chance shots. Not sure if it was our D or if Berry just had a bad game. Would not count on him being so quiet on a neutral court. Please, please please let OG be OK.

I agree. I was half joking.
