A bad shooting night is the first half. The second half was just crap basketball.

Good defensive possession at least

Missing FTs too…

Can’t buy a bucket

Still up 16 and on track to blow them out like we should. But I agree, half was kinda bleh. It’s nice to have standards again.

We’re a little better with the big lineup. Tucker just isn’t a 4 and our 3 starting guards are a little on the small side. Kind of amazing how far along the offense is compared to the D which looks like a team that’s only ever played together for 3 games

Little sloppy early. The zone threw us for a loop for a couple possessions.

If Houston ever gets our refs from the Marquette game the entire team will foul out before halftime.

It can’t be any single game because lots of good coaches have lost up there. With that said…for me it’s at Wisconsin. lol (I’m fine with forgiving and forgetting past coaches, but the lead Woody blew up there will haunt me for a long time).

A&M on the comeback train

Let’s score a garbage time touchdown and cover the spread.

His system like our first 3 wins. Iirc, the preseason numbers don’t fully wash out until some time in December. So our 40th starting ranking is probably still weighing us down a bit. Either way, unlike Woodys teams, we need to continue to take care of our buy games and be at least competitive in our two big games non on, then we’re setup good for conference.

Oline is obviously not up to championship standards. Might be able to scheme around it in the playoffs but it has really hurt them the last few weeks (and Iowa if we’re being honest). Hopefully that’s a focus in recruiting

Hopefully they’re just being overly cautious with him

Just a quality loss in S-E-C country!

Giving up a TD to lowly Wisconsin is a bad look, but let’s see how we rebound

So at 9-9 in conference, you have us 10-3 in non-conference. Losses to Lville and UK are a given for you but you also have us losing to Kansas State?

IU - 97 ICW - 69

Ha…didn’t even know that. Hope he’s ok. He was/is an Indiana native and used to do HS basketball too. One of my good coaching buddies would always look and tell me if they over/under-performed what sagarin said they were supposed to do. Lol in a weird way he was the original but got kind of burned by partnering with USA Today, which became a dying medium while guys like KenPom set up their own site which eventually had to get more traffic. Most basketball stats are useless, especially in the hands of the ignorant (*cough* NBA), but I’ve always found them fun. It probably dates back to my HS coach in the 90’s who had his own proprietary “system.” It probably wasn’t worth a hoot but he was obsessive about tracking the stuff.

It’s also acceptable to like Torvik or Sagarin, if you want to kick it old school.

I don’t know how anyone can complain about peacocks coverage when FS1 exists. 18% of my screen is covered by a garish scoreboard and the announcement of the cy young award.

They have hit more tough shots than most. They might end up a decent mid major

If we can get Bailey 5 off the backboard alley-oops a game he’ll be unstoppable

UWM are no slouches from 3 either. Could see a lot of points tonight

Lots of quick unbalanced shots early. Little Marquette hangover game?
