Since the exhibition games, I could tell this team was going to be challenged offensively for stretches. But man, I did not expect this. My biggest frustrations with Ben: Ten seniors are on the team, most of them guards. The lack of poise and purpose offensively is baffling. How can guys...

Had foot surgery—projected December return.

There was a play where Betts got the ball on the wing. Odukale cut on the weakside to the hoop, and Betts didn't see him. He was wide open for about five seconds, jumping up and down, pleading for the pass, but Betts never recognized what was happening. Femi's facial expression as Betts passed...

Starters 9/10 Reserves: 0/7

All Ben needs to do is play the guys who bring the defensive intensity, and this team will be all right!

Future opponent, Wichita State had a solid W on the road at Western Kentucky. I saw that WKU was projected to finish 2nd in the CUSA this year (tourney team last year). Wichita shot the 3-ball well and had some bruisers, but they lacked poise. They struggled with a 1/3/1 press and shot free...

I was pulling my hair out as we continued to rush 3 as Altmyer picked us apart. Great win. I also loved the fake punt attempt. B+

I just stated what I saw (the good and the bad). Past BJ teams were one injury away from disaster. That shouldn't be the case this year, although Frank Mitchell's injury is probably one of the worst possible, as he's the only true center. Thank goodness we don't play anyone with a pulse until...

Some things that jumped out to me for those who didn't watch: Gophs starting five jumped out to something like a 16-0 lead, then Frank Mitchell got hurt, and Ben did a Tubby Smith line change. Ben gave a ton of run to the deep bench, so take the score with a grain of salt. Rigsby: Most...

Straight to the locker room 😞

Really appreciate this!

If the railcar ever gets back on the tracks, I could see some of these recently retired HOFers coming back to coach a few years down the road.

Very fortunate to have attended #1, #2, #4. #1: The Penn State game atmosphere was the best I have ever been apart of. #2: Almost got beat up by multiple drunk skunk fans. I wasn’t being obnoxious, simply just cheering. In their defense, there was a lot of cheer for that day. #4 The...

Aren't mid-majors always complaining about Power Conference teams never wanting to play road games at their venues? Many solid programs with NCAA tourney aspirations would welcome a Big 10 team (maybe this has changed?) I'd have 1000x preferred playing a road game against a solid mid-major and...

Why do I even care.

This drives me insane. How do you not learn from last year's debacle and sack the *** up? You have the deepest, most experienced team during your tenure and will lose your job if you don't make the tourney. With the advanced analytics, there's no excuse to schedule like this if you have...

“Former D1 Basketball Player Continues to Play Basketball As a Form of Exercise.”

I love that this still haunts Hawkeye fans. I’m glad it played out the way it did.

It appears Rock Raven is now employed as a writer at bustingbrackets.com.

He looks like a poor man’s Ken Evans.
