When you're too irritated to even throw out some platitude about trying to get better, then it's probably time to hang it up.

Well in these crazy times our tough schedule is being modified a bit cause of covid. Win some big home games and were looking good for now. Might be murders row later though

I takes a special sense of privilege to feel justified in being a complete creep to a guy asking a perfectly reasonable question.

Nice work, young man.

YES!

Marquette just lost a home game to DePaul.  Hard team to figure out and an example gathering talent doesn’t always translate into wins.   Something is off with them.  As good as Carton is maybe there is something there as to why many coaches passed on the second go around when he became available 

As I said in a different post, we aren't the only ones who are not playing the way the fans think we should based on our talent. The blame always falls on the coach, but in reality it a large portion of it should fall on the kids. I doubt that there are many bad coaches at the highest level of college basketball. Maybe they can't connect with the kids, maybe they can't find a way to motivate them, but I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing. It takes a certain combination of factors to be successful at this level and it is maybe luck as much as anything else that makes it work. Look at UK, UNC, Duke, and Kansas this year. Do you really think those coaches suddenly forgot how to coach a team? It's just a different time.

What a loser.  God somebody needs to smack him 

Duke's 5 wins this year have come against teams that are 23-38.  The only winning team.....is Bellarmine.

Well, in fairness to Jerry, everyone knows the Vandy fan base eats their own. That’s why there are never more than a couple of dozen of them.

Have they announced how the Big Ten will handle uneven number of games played. 
 

Conceivable that Michigan only plays 16 games. How will they handle it if Michigan does 14-2 but Iowa goes 15-5. 
 

This is why I think for seeding and championship considerations games not made up have to count as forfeits.

Probably win percentage. Would be the most likely thing to do.

If the current trend continues the Big 1.0 will just declare OSU regular season and tournament champions.

Which is kinda crappy when the number of games is so drastically different

Kinda. But it isn't Michigan's fault at the same time. I'd say 16 games is enough if they are 14-2.

Technically it is Michigan’s fault

Texas Tech up 1 at West Virginia with 16 sec to go.   West Virginia ball.  

[LamarCheeks 16,805]

This WVU-Texas Tech game is very entertaining. 

Neither defense has been great, but there's also been some incredible shot-making. 

[Uspshoosier 44,195]

West Virginia wins it
