No doubting Sampson was a good coach and good motivator---his weakness was his ETHICS. He can win at Houston and he will probably get back to a major D1 school soon.  I could see him fitting right in---in the SEC.  I am still bitter about what he did when he knew he had already been in trouble and had to walk the line but I am more disappointed with the type of players he recruited.  Character counts and despite our recent off the court troubles--- I think we are bringing in higher character kids under Crean. Unfortunately, they are not as tough-minded and that toughness is an area we need to continue to improve upon. We need that refuse to lose mentality!

Monmouth loses to army. That will hurt their chances for an at-large bid if they don't win their tournament

Watching Rutgers play UMass-Lowell about 40m hours before their game against us.

 

Rutgers up 11 at the half, but geez, they still look like a bag-o-crap.

 

I'm thinking UMass-Lowell makes a game of it.

Looks like Rutgers will cruise to a win, but they are certainly far from impressive.  Unless we treat TB like a leper, he should have a big night.  Unfortunately, we do have a history of letting teams like Rutgers look like NCAA Final Four contenders.

Why do we play at 1:00?

Earlier this season, Rutgers was tied with a Division 3 school at halftime. We should stomp them, but we probably won't.

Actually we torched Rutgers last year.  If you had said Nebraska, then I'd have to agree.  I've got a bad feeling about that game on Saturday.

I have a bad feeling every time we have a road game!

I heard it was to "work around" bowl game schedules, but doesn't look like it conflicted with anything B1G related.

Temple beats Cincinnati on the road to open up conference play.

You almost have to feel pity for John Groce.  Not only does he have multiple Illini players out with injuries, today it was learned from a Chicago Tribune reporter that Groce won't identify the player by name but he has a player out with mumps and won't be available for the Illinois - Michigan game.

Smu wins again. I feel bad for Moore because they would be a tournament team. That has got to sting being a senior and knowing you should be dancing but the NCAA penalizes the kids for what their coach did. Shake had another solid game. He led the Mustangs in scoring with 24

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,520]

Shake is a good player. Impressed with his impact.

Any reason we didn't play at SMU this year, or will that be another year?

smu was part of an early season tounament last year. It wasn't a home and home game.
According to this it was called the Hoosiers showcase

PUke at Wisky on the Big Ten channel.  At the half, tied at 24.  Wisky holding their own against the PUke front line with 6 OReb and 12 DReb vs. 3 and 15 respectively for PUke who's also committed 9 TO's.

Wake up 5 at half at Lsu

For as good as he is, Ben Simmons can't be a one man band for LSU and they're off to a slow start as a team with a third of the season already gone.

Looks like they are lacking effort as a whole. Few head cases on that squad??

they also have Antonio Blakeney who was a 5 star stud in the 2015 class
