    Inclined to Give Archie a Break

    Yes, I counted on two a year with Coach Knight in the old days. Expected it with Crean. Both NW and Nebraska were toss-up games according to Vegas so not sure were losing to lesser talent but hard to tell that to certain fans.

    I'm under the impression that if you are spending time coaching effort or heart than you are not working on things you should be. College coaches should never have to coach effort. That guy was McRoberts last year, but don't have anyone like that this year it seems. Just my .02 cents

    Walk into Assembly Hall or Cook Hall in the summer and see if these kids are putting up shots. I promise you they are. The two much weight lifting will hurt your shot is such a wise tail.

    I totally agree with what you said. People forget that Archie took over an NIT team who lost their 3 leading scorers.

    Northwestern played us tough twice and has some nice pieces. Nebraska is just better than us right now starting 4 or 5 seniors who have been around the big ten for a couple of years. Not sure about the other two games, I believe they were last year. Good luck finding someone who wants the job after you fire a guy a year in a half into his contract.

    Not that they were ever coached by Crean, but they were his recruits. He was recruiting a certain type of kid who just doesn't fit the mold that Archie is trying to bring in. These kids have never had to play the defense that Archie wants them to play. Even Romeo, for the most part, hasn't ever had to really guard someone. I think Archie is wanting them to do things, that I'm just not sure they can do or his communicating skills are not getting the message across.

    I really liked this quote from the Herald Times Jeremy Price. It's where I'm at after being around this team some. The suspension of Devonte Green before Tuesday’s game perhaps only further punctuates the gap that still exists between the soft, decaying leftovers of the previous coaching regime and the necessary buy-in to Miller’s tougher, blue-collar approach.

    I think he will be able to play this year, but just not sure we will see him. He has just missed so much.

    Devonte Green Suspension

    Sounds like we might need to ship him off to military school with that dam Finkelstein kid. Sorry just messing around but he will be out the next 3 games.

    Can I see your drivers license? Isn't on the back of the car? Funny stuff

    Usually only one thing gets you a 3 game suspension

    Devonte Green Suspension

    Let's just say he might be missing the next 3 games.
  14. I've never met the guy but I'm told he's legit on what he knows. He has influence I know that for sure. Her is also a basketball junkie
  15. NW 61 IU 58 They pack the middle and make us shoot it from the outside
  16. I think with Jones he played a semester and didn't like it. Gelon I'm guessing it was obvious to everyone involved he couldn't play at this level and had to go. Sorry I don't have all of the answers.
  17. I don't want to say yes for sure but YES.
  18. I personally am not a fan of Snow but he is correct when Archie took the job there were 16 guys on scholarship and had to get down to 13. So OG, Blackmon, and Bryant all went pro. The Administration advised him that with our APR scores we couldn't afford a transfer we were stuck with that roster. So here we are today with some of those players.

    Me too, but at this point, I'm not picky. We need to get an offense put in soon for spring ball.
  20. Agreed!! I'm starting Moore even if it's just till the first media timeout.
  21. Have you seen the clip of Justin turning the ball over on the baseline then practically walking down the court after Nebraska fastbreak miss, and tip in? If there are no consequences for that, then you will lose the team. There has to be a punishment. He will still play but he needs to start out on the bench. Also with his dad bashing Archie on social media after the Michigan game, a message needs to be sent.

    Good point!!
  23. I'm expecting better effort Saturday, also expecting a different lineup to start the game.
  24. I think the baseball team is in the preseason top 25
  25. I said Nebraska was a must win and we got blown out. So trying the ole reverse psychology
