Feels like Bucky is another of those programs we dominated and looked down upon but has caught up to us and perhaps even passed us. We really never had to worry about Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska. Those were W's. We had beaten the Toiletmakers 13 times in a row, then got dusted two Sundays ago in Laffytown. In this case, we've beaten Wisky 11 in a row and 13 of 14. Hopefully, we make it a dozen straight. We looked pretty good for most of the Northwestern game, but really let up toward the end. Just like the men's team, we gotta watch our fouls. Yeah -- some are bad calls, but a lot are just being careless and foolish.

NOW we drive? We've been launching 3s right and left all night when opportunities to go to the basket were there, yet when we really need a 3 -- we drive. Oy-vey.

I thought during the final 2 minutes, they reviewed anything that needed to be reviewed. Why do we have to us a challenge for this?

Why won't Tucker just go to the basket? They're letting him drive. I'm flummoxed.

Had it down to 4 and boom -- just like that, it's back up to 12.

GO. TO. THE. BUCKET.

That was a really, really, really stupid foul by Bailey.

Nothing like a missed Tucker 30-footer to kill any mo.

NBC games typically aren't bad. And Peacock is essentially NBC. So why are these Peacock games so terrible? Maybe it's NBC's third string?

Don't think we're gonna make it back in this one. Absolutely cannot get anything going on offense. Should try getting to the basket and getting fouled But we're too in love with launching from 25 feet.

We can't get fouled if we don't go to the bucket. No drives. No cuts to the hoop. Every time we do drive, we just stop, turn around and kick it back outside.

We should not be down 10 to this team. They are not better than us.

Interesting juxtaposition: I feel like we should be winning, yet at the same time, I feel as if we're dangerously close to letting this one slip away.

Tucker DeVries? Tucker DeVries? Anybody seen Tucker DeVries?

Terrible possession to end the half.

That went off the 8-foot dude.

Bailey got clocked.

Always chuckle when I see the Discover commercial with Carli Lloyd and Matt Leinert repping the B1G. Neither played a game in the conference.

Dunk that, Bailey!

We don't have to shoot 3s all the time. We keep passing up easy 15-footers and opportunities to drive to kick it back out. Take the 2. Nothing wrong with that.

A little less joy in the world today. Chuck Negron -- Three Dog Night's lead singer -- passed away yesterday. Somewhere, Jeremiah the bullfrog is in mourning. RIP

Kinda funny, Sorsby picked us five years ago because we were his only option. Now, he's got 6 million reasons for picking Texas Tech. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/texas-tech-red-raiders/2026/01/30/texas-tech-brendan-sorsby-transfer-portal-nil-mack-leftwich-cody-campbell-cincinnati-lake-dallas/

Though IU and RMK seemed to mend fences before he passed, I always thought the initial separation was gonna be ugly regardless. Had he not been fired, I think at some point, he would've resigned/retired and insisted that Pat take over. And I have my suspicions that not many in the administration would've been in favor of that.

She's a burger girl! Socka-Ngueman was one, but we didn't sign her out of high school. Not sure if we ever have.
