Hey Nostradamus @Josh 3 point win? Lol, keep the faith man, it’s early season

Clemson destroying BYU at half…

I think he has the potential to be a steadying force. Not much of a scorer but he played well on ball in preseason

He's a career 40-plus 3-point shooter, this is just a snapshot in the beginning of the season. Definitely not a bad investment. Has to get his shot going, but he's a shooter, he will.

Prediction change - and before the site crashes IU - 83 PSU - 69

Agree, need more sets and actions to give him and Tucker better looks, B1G teams have them scouted as our #1 and 2 scoring options. Lamar is absolutely coachable he comes in from SHSU (here just north of H-Town) with years under his belt as a 40% plus deep shooter and great teammate. Time to add actions, can’t be predictable in conf and other guys have to be looked to with the kind of ball movement for better looks we saw against Marq, KSU and earlier

And no real surprise we're dropped out of the ranking this week, along with Kentucky. Team has work to do.

That ranking is no misdirected or misleading -- it's the ranking of that class, which is of course always the case. Yes the program absolutely needs to keep building with bigger and more athletic players, but that has now begun, which to me is the point. We have players on the current team that are already at the level needed to continue the program's rise to compete with the elite, the incoming frosh are outstanding, and that should signal what future recruiting will look like. Next year's team should be better, and so on and so on.

We were playing terrible ball over 2 games going into the KSU game. Tend (and hope) to think we'll see a return to the well-run offense and D we saw against KSU and Marquette.

Oh wow, missed that, good to see

Ristic would definitely help imo. He played like a true point before going down to injury. Not this next game, but hope we see him suit up again soon.

We’re 9 games in with a new roster and system, we’ve played very well — especially ball movement— in some games and horrible in others. Yes KSU isn’t proving to be top tier so far but they’re pretty good and a Hell of a lot better than Minny, so judging us by the way we played against Minny in my opinion is just silly negative nancy stuff. We are no more defined by how poorly we played against Minny than by how well we played against KSU - we’re a team in progress that has experience and talent and knows how to play on both ends. We won’t compete this season for top of conf but we can be a tournament team. Next season and going forward DeVries needs more athleticism to go with the shooting, but I’m confident we’ll get there fwiw.

Same team that handled KSU well. Overreacting and drawing season conclusions on 2 games is pointless. Team is what it is— but we don’t know what that is yet.

This trip I was visiting my Brit cousins in Northhamtonshire which is about an hr 1/2 north of London, but we visited London last spring. There are many many things to do and see of course in London, but def worth a trip to the Tower of London (castle, really enjoyable tour and beautiful), Big Ben and Buckingham Palace — surrounding park.

This is only their 2nd road game and 1st against a legit team. We need to win this game.

IU 83 PSU 71

Absolutely. You give up way too soon man. We have plenty of chances to gain points and momentum back. Minn loss was awful and hurts but no, fat lady isn’t close to done singing yet

Lol haven’t been able to access the site for 2 games how has there been an ongoing prediction comp?

I’m in England right now, which is 5 hours ahead — this of course means I will know the result of this game before it even starts for you poor suckers. Can’t wait to enter my “prediction” in the prediction thread!

It’s a different game without Soka

A good 3 point shooting team beats a good midrange shooting team every time, it’s simple math and why the game is now highly dependent on outside shooting. Shooting lower percentage 3’s beats shooting good percentage 2’s it’s straight math

What happened to Socka? in England just checking in

Nice to see they didn’t play down to the comp and instead continued their play from the KSU game. Couldn’t watch as in London, but fun to catch up. And mods pretty please with sugar on top keep the freaking site up!

And just 2 fouls, 1 TO and 10 points. Strong improvement showing her potential, which has been being undervalued— she’s early in her frosh season
