What a drive to the hoop to put them up by 8. Explosive.

Mav wasn't too bad tonight. Wasnt' any worse than Devoe on D.

HUGE tests coming up.

Very sloppy ball handling out front by the bigs. Esp Iverson.

But they stepped up late and got the job done.

Hoffbarber needs to run off 50 screens to score. Sampson is a tall talented underachiever. Nolan can't shoot the ball in the ocean from the end of a pier at high tide. Mbrickwe has an effective range of about 4.27326 feet. Williams is the one with all of the physical gifts. As an athlete, the kid is an absolute freak of nature. He has the explosiveness, he has the handle, he has the un-Godly leaping ability. It's time to step out of the shadows and be the man.

Good stuff, imo.
Nails it for me.
Still thinking they are overrated, even after the drop.
This current team will win very few road Big Ten games.
Thats the measuring stick, imo. No way this team has the moxie to go into the tough gyms and win. No way.

Because he was just as likely to make 3 boneheaded decisions down the stretch as hit big shots.

Westbrook just wasn't very good. He was fearless, but he was overestimated what he was capable of doing as a player.

If we miss anyone from last year, its Damien Johnson. He was the key to our defense. He could pressure any guard bringing the ball up, patrol the interior and still close out on 3pt shooters better than anyone on our current team.

I agree David. I think we miss Johnson quite a bit and Westbrook not at all.

Status: offline 		I actually started typing that post as "Westbrook and Johnson" but took it out.  I agree with that.  I just think there is nobody on this team that we can count on down the stretch.   Any good team will take away Hoff's 3's at the end (that's assuming  he's hitting them).   That's all I meant with Westbrook, at least he would try and create.

Status: offline 		Buckeyes staying 5 feet away from all Gophers behind the arc except Hoff. I think they should just starting launching them instead of waisting 25 seconds trying to work it inside for a shot. Some of those shots will fall just like they do for other teams. Tuby is to disciplined for that though
