I predict we'll see one of the following outcomes/reactions tonight:

 

1) Win by 10 or less: "OMG, we suck so bad! We don't deserve to be ranked! Fire Crean now!"

2) Win by 10-20: "We're terrible. We just are." 

3) Win by 20-30: "There are so many things we suck at." 

4) Win by 30-40: "Games like this are pointless. We aren't good." 

5) Lose: BTownBanners breaks the internet and ceases to exist. 

I might have to add one more..

6) Win by 40-50: "This game was pointless. We lost to Butler and IPFW. Nothing else matters."

It seems like the starters were playing way too long into this game, but when you look at their minutes it's a different story becaue of the constant substitutions we do.  RoJo 28; TB 27; JBJ 22; OG 19; 

Good catch. Seemed as though OG played a lot more than 19. I incorrectly thought Crean was nuts playing OG so much (or so I thought)  but 19 minutes was a good number.

Crispin just made an interesting point about "positionless basketball" and Neukirk. "If you want to do that for 35 minutes, that's fine but, when you need to grind out a win in the B1G, against a team that wants to slow it down, you need a point guard that can make plays". He will need to make a remarkable improvement before the B1G starts.

Sometimes Crispin does not shut up but overall I like hearing the perspective of a guy that recently  played in the Big Ten. He is right-on in regards to his Newkirk comments.


Oh I think he was dead on. Were going to see it on the road. A real grinder....slow played...keying on JB... Newkirk has to be the guy. He's smart with the ball, he's quick. He needs to be able to get something started...finish drives(I don't like the angles he takes to the rim). Has to be him. Doesn't necessarily mean shoot....must create opportunities going to the basket. If he can do that, were dangerous. Sucks, but I think much rides on the improvement of Josh.

I agree and Newkirk has to realize that we do not need him to shoot often as we have four other starters, which is a luxury, that can shoot.
