We'll run away with this if Payne stays out of foul trouble. Nobody on OSU can match his physicality. Johnson: Carrington/Christie on Battle all 2nd half, and make him go right!

Part of Me: Pound sand! He should have come here in the first place! Another Part of Me: Let's get a hometown kid with legit blue-blood offers out of hs, multiple years to play, and his freebie transfer out of the way. Even if everyone comes back, one more competent combo guard is needed (and...

That Illinois choke was worse than our Mizz/Iowa debacles by far.

For those confused about who basketball Caleb Williams is:

I misread the poll thinking it was asking % of players come back. I selected 70%. I'd bet about 4 players leave the team either for professional ambitions (Garcia) or wanting to play more (Ihnen, Betts).

I don't know if it has been said anywhere in this thread (it probably has, so I apologize). It's very refreshing we are playing our best ball in February. Even with Tubby and Pitino's tournament teams, it felt like we were constantly sliding at this part of the season, trying to hang on for...

This wasn't a big win for tourney our chances, but it was massive for setting us up well in the Big Ten tournament to make a legitimate run. It's mid-February, and there's still hope!

Our body of work is better with 20 conference games because we all know CBJ would have scheduled a couple of more Bethune Cookmans if we only played 18 in the Big Ten.

We're due for a game where we are betting underdogs and come out and kick the s*** out of the opposition. The last time I recall this happening was the 20/21 season, when Top 10 Michigan came to town, and we beat them by 20. It was a complete domination, a wire-to-wire win. I predict this...

What was the go to analysis metric back then? I know RPI was all the rage in the 2010 decade. Was it strictly just eye test and some high-level SOS? AP/Coaches polls? Also worth noting, back then they only played 16 big ten games. Major conference teams could cram in a lot more cupcakes. 4th...

Sorry, I meant to beat them all (as MU laid out in their scenario). Edited for clarity.

I think, generally, we agree. We just have different viewpoints on how impactful the Missouri loss is. However, I'd be willing to bet everything I have if the Gophers win @Purdue, @Illinois, and @NW and finish 11-9; they are shoe-ins even without a win in the Big Ten tourney. Beat Iowa on...

You're not wrong, but if we make the tournament, it will be because we stacked Q1 wins (on the road) in the remaining Big Ten schedule. Missouri being Q3/Q4 is irrelevant, although I understand the sentiment that staying in Q3 would be ideal. One blemish won't kill you, especially if you have...

Laker fans just discovered Max Christie has a brother :ROFLMAO:

JOJ has been struggling lately. He seems to make many mental lapses, and depending on the camera angle, you can often see CBJ erupt in rage as he signals to the bench to sub JOJ out. JOJ has so much upside. He got away with a lot last year due to the lack of depth. This year, poor play is...

Building on my previous observation, CBJ also had an amazing feel for this game. Once he realized it was going to be a physical defensive slugfest, where hustle plays might make the difference, he went: Fox > JOJ Carrington > Mitchell For long stretches of the game. Playing Fox was a...

It may have been mentioned earlier in the thread, but how about CBJ's strategy for Malik Hall!? MSU seems to go as he goes. He scored 5 points before the first TV timeout but only 6 points in the game. That double-team by Payne (mostly) totally rattled him and took Sparty out of their...

This is what drives me crazy about the current administration. Throw out a promotion, FFS! Build some excitement! Get the barn packed. This is a massive game. A "W" creates a viable pathway to the postseason. Let's get some reinforcements in those seats! The boys deserve it.

More of a court scattered showering.

It's fluid and constantly changing. That's why you cheer for teams you beat to do well.
