I had a bad feeling that those last 3 minutes or so of the first half was going to be our undoing, but the right guys played and kept playing hard.  It also felt like this team really liked the pace the game was played at.
Question for anyone who knows: Is the Hurt kid that plays for MN the brother of Matthew (who I hope was there)?

Yes it is his brother and yes he was there watching both teams since both are active in his recruitment

These next two games are big. We have Penn State and Northwestern, both at home. We win those and we're suddenly sitting at 4-2 in the conference. The rest of the conference slate should be hit or miss, but win these next two and tighten up our lineup with Smith getting heavier minutes, and we may just finish this season on a positive note. Could you imagine if we got nine conference wins this season? Crean didn't win his ninth conference game until his fourth year...

1) the Big Ten is DOWN
2) 4-2 would be awesome
3) we could end up 2-4 or 4-2. I wouldn't be surprised if we went 0-3 or 3-0 in our next 2 home games
4) the bumps aren't over
5) energy and effort can win a fair amount of games the rest of the way. I'm not sure intelligence can be injected into this bunch. (See: 10 second call without pressure)

One thing I really like about Archie is that he isn't afraid to play players heavy minutes. Crean would often have his top players only getting 27-28 minutes and it would drive me insane.  

I think it's easier to play guys more minutes when you're coaching a basketball game rather than a track meet.

Big win. Super excited about Smith. I thought he was the best player in that class and he really showed something tonite.

Honestly next year him, Morgan and McRoberts might be the only players getting minutes along with the freshmen.
