And the crowd and the coach's giddiness afterwards were weird.
That was a winless in the B10 team you just struggled to overcome.
Zero offensive ability in this team most nights.

End of game ...... "yup"

Please find a guy you trust at the end of games.

Need to get more stops on the defensive end though as Iowa is still close. Stockman having a nice game in limited minutes. Washington hitting his shots. Pretty much everyone I can think of contributed well.

Status: offline 		We definitely let that get too close, but it was nice to see them hang on. Surprising in this state...

We need a legit PG to help break presses and zones, although we did improve against the zones, especially in the first half. Need to improve the FT's. There is a lot of talent on this team, but are missing a piece or two to make a real run. Coffey needs to get aggressive and take over games and be the star more often. When he gets on a roll he's the best player on the floor, he just seems too timid sometimes. Murphy has a lot of heart and talent, but he's a few inches too short to defend big guys like he faced today. We missed Oturu today, at least defensively, Curry didn't have a great game, at least not statistically. McBrayer didn't score much, but he did have a decent floor game with a lot of good assists.

We need to find a way to get this kind of effort to travel. There is a stark difference between the team at home and the team on the road and we half to get some road wins.

Down by 2 at halftime.

Gonna be a tight one. I really do like this Illinois team.

LEN is bothering me...wearing his bright orange hoodie behind the basket. I think he has a press pass around his neck. DUDE, you're not a basketball writer!!

Go Gophers!

Seem strong and confident at the Barn

The first 25 please

Shouldn't lose to a team by a thousand, then come back and beat them by ten a couple weeks later.

Are we on track to make the Tourney?

The commentators in the last game said we were currently in, that was before the win. We do have some bad losses on the resume though, so we're close to the edge. Need to keep winning and beating some good teams. The schedule isn't easy by any means.

10 games - 4 at home 6 on the road, 6 against ranked teams, (3 home, 3 away).

As SMF stated, we need to play better on the road and steal a couple.

We are currently 6-4. If we finish the 10 games 5-5 we should make it regardless of the B10 tourney, especially if we get a couple more wins against ranked teams.
