Get old and stay old is going really bad for Notre Dame this year.  Down 15 to Georgia.     They have an average age older then 2 NBA teams 

As IU saw during the previous coach's reign, that only works if you have good players and good coaches. When the players improve year over year, that is a great strategy for being consistently good. When they don't improve, it's a recipe for mediocrity.

Random question, but how have Northwestern, Michigan, OSU, and Iowa only played 1 B1G conference game? I thought everyone played 2 in December?

Because it's the Big Ten. The amount of common sense in scheduling is probably in the negatives. You should ask yourself why Indiana has to play Rutgers, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan State, Michigan and Purdue twice.

Yeah the scheduling is bonkers. A lot of those teams will play a second game right around new years, whereas IU has already played two so won't play again until January 5th.

Archie Miller should probably consider a different career. It seems anything that could possibly go wrong in his program will inevitably go wrong at some point.

Archie 'Eeyore' Miller strikes again.

Archie’s trying to go back to the glory days; the peak of his IU tenure when everyone got COVID, but we got to claim a tourney berth.

Don't give the administration any ideas.. This would be so much easier to accomplish than actually competing with the big time programs.

A&M only up 4 at half at home against Wofford.   Drake/Mississippi St start at 5 and should be a good game

Wofford just drills a 3 to take a 4 pt lead with 1:53 to go.    Dennis would have fit right in.  Wide open 3 and bricks it badly 

[Uspshoosier 45,911]

Wofford has a freshman from the state of Wisconsin that is killing it this year as a point guard.   Jackson Paveletzke can play.   Wisky fans probably  upset they let a low ranked kid get out of the state that is doing really well 

[Uspshoosier 45,911]

Wofford up 2 with 30 sec to go and are at the line 

[Uspshoosier 45,911]

Buzz Williams about to write the ncaa to not include games before Christmas break when considering selection.  A&M down 3 with 7 sec to go.    He made a big deal about not getting selected last year.   Don’t lose these type of games and you will have a better case

Wofford wins it.   They were close in their 2 other SEC games but they get one.   Paveletzke hit 6 straight FTs down the stretch and finished with 22 pts

Illinois adds 6'10 Zacharie Perrin, effective immediately.  Played on French National team. Big time addition.  Interesting timing for certain.

Played on the French under 18 National team. Played well on it. Committed to Illinois about six months ago if I remember.

Can't imagine he takes any minutes from Hawkins, Dainja, or Mayer this year. If he's talented but raw it's a good idea for the Illini to get him on campus and practicing in their system.
