Been a rough few days, guys..
Second emergency colonoscopy in 2 weeks; my bowels have been on fire.
Regardless, i have one thing to say, and one thing only..
We are absolutely terrible.. I'm talkin' buns..
No heart, no persistence, no grit.. what the hell are we doing out there? 
You'd think with a guy like Collin Sexton we'd be able to put forth a little more then we have been..
Let's hope and pray to the mighty Kent Benson that we get this win over MU on Friday, and that my bowels rest in peace for the time being..

Does anyone see any way we can beat Michigan? I get the feeling 7'1 teske will just kill us in the paint.

At this point in the season, I’d be happy to see the tea, play with the heart and energy they showed in the last 10 or so minutes of the game. If they simply do that we’ll be in a lot more games.

It’s interesting to see that some wanted more Anderson but he had two costly turnovers in the short time he was in. Others wanted Jake and Moore, they also had some turnovers and in bad position on defense that led to points. If we had a few reserves that could defend and hit an open shot were a much different team with a better record.

If we had reserves that could defend and hit a shot they wouldnt be reserves.

I've been super busy the last month and haven't really posted since Christmas. It really sucks what is happening. I guess we saw the warning signs when this team squeaked by Northwestern and Penn State in December. I still like Archie but it is frustrating. The 2016/2017 recruiting class has brought nothing to this team (to anyone who argues.. this team hasn't made a single NCAA Tournament with that group and and doesn't look like we will this year). Devonte, Justin, and De'ron just aren't capable of playing meaningful minutes in the Big Ten. Al might be the outlier. This is equivalent to an NFL team missing two straight years in the NFL Draft (cough cough Colts a few years ago). I feel bad for Juwan. He is playing his heart out. Romeo is very good. I do think he needs to stay but I can't blame him for whatever he chooses. Rob is going to be a very good Point Guard but I don't think he or the team expected him to play this many minutes. 

 

The bottom line is it is frustrating to see teams like Texas Tech and Louisville get new coaches and have immediate success. I don't want to blame Archie, but I wish we could have had a better grad transfer. Fitzner's stats declined each year at St. Mary's who doesn't play the level of competition that IU does. I am still excited for the future (fingers crossed). A Keion Brooks commitment this week would be what the doctor ordered. Some players have some serious thinking to do for next year. 

I feel De'ron could have been a nice contributor ice he hadn't gotten hurt.  But the shape he is in now makes him UN playable.

Hell, if they could defend OR shoot they'd be in.

If we're being honest, our starters are doing well there either.
