That Mississippi and Mississippi State game was a good one last night.

4m dollar buy out after this season. His family still lives in Green County. Am I sold on him as the face of our program....I wasn't, but he's so significantly better than what we have and I'm not sure there will be a better option. Note. Buckners term ends this summer.

I really hope someone sticks a mic in Buckners face at some point. His legacy needs to take a hit for this too.

Imagine losing by 35 at home and being able to say "it wasn't as close as the score indicates."

Going with the trends. We'll get beat and Illinois is a well coached team so it will be by minimum 15pts. Illinois 88 Indiana 67

I got hot when when I realized we weren't taking serious the idea of pursuing the best Indiana natives in the portal. We were being patronized with the Hickmans, Hatton, the shooter from Clemson and the late, half-assed efforts with Conwell and Humrichous. I wanted Gillespie at point, Conwell the 2 and Dre Davis at the 3. Ballo would be great with that and Mgbako. But my favorite player in the portal was Wolf. He might be the only big in the country that could work with Reneau. Right now I think Woody gets it and will hold Reneau out as long as possible. We'll see if winning matters more than whatever promise he gave Reneau in the off season.

We need what all of the great women's teams have, size and length, preferably athletic size. Right now the two California teams and Michigan seem to be doing the best jobs recruiting.

We need to win as many games as possible while Reneau is out.

If we go on the road and beat PS with Reneau out we hopefully grow from that.

The Ballo, Mgbako and 3 guard stuff looked sustainable. I looked out there once and even saw 3 guards, Tucker and Ballo.

I believe this one and USC at home will be our 2 January wins then it's going to go straight to hell after that. IU 66 Rutgers 62 We'll be up big early and get beat soundly in the second half and pull it out late.

It's going to be a long year. Woody knows he's done. A person could have a little bit of sympathy for him if he wasn't such an arrogant prick about everything. Someone digging a 6'7" under the radar lefty out of nowhere and tagging Cheaney's name next to it is pathetic.

I would like to see Reneau with a mysterious lower leg injury against Rutgers and start Tucker instead of Goode. Then see what that one big line-up looks like, either way it's a heartless, poor coached team that gets worse every game. Now we have the Woody January slump coming. 2-7 over the next nine.

Is Hatton our most effective big.....

Son of a *****, the only way they could get worse defensively with Ballo out is to start Goode.
