Allowing 65 is acceptable. Scoring 41 is not, haha.

On offense they looked like they were playing on roller skates. Defense was actually “gritty,” for maybe the first time in the Ben Johnson era.

Ben angrily yanked him after he made that atrocious turnover around the 4 min mark. I hope you're right, but my gut says it was intentional. I'm all for a 1-minute benching; tell him to take care of the ball and win the game. But to leave him on the bench when we're literally fumbling the...

So your freshman with one game of collegiate experience could put the team on his back, duh...

Is anybody else kind of thankful he's back? Our kryptonite in the Johnson era has been physicality and speed. I'm all for the opposition having a 7-footer parked out on the perimeter and bombing threes at a low percentage! I hope he logs similar minutes to his ORU days tonight (doubtful). I...

I was bummed when he transferred. Not because he was some irreplaceable talent but because he played way more minutes than he deserved, took a lot of lumps, and I thought he could evolve as a sophomore from that experience. He had awful body language at times last year, and by February, we all...

Seeing some of his warts tonight. Only negative IMO.

I feel like I've been a good sport about having to pay for ancillary streaming services like Big Ten + Plus in past years, and I think even the SEC network in some of the Richard Pitino era (before YouTube TV). However, it really irritates me that I must tack on Peacock to watch my favorite...

Things I want to see (in no particular order): Cam Christie on the floor Payne playing 25+ productive minutes The opponent held under 60 points KenPom ranking improves after the game Play winning basketball for 9/10 of the 4-minute TV timeout stretches Regarding the last bullet, I'd guess we...

I guess one of their best players was out, too...

Just watch with your eyeballs. Any objective basketball fan sees more depth, athleticism, and experience. There's no need to cherry-pick games from last year to compare to. And if you are, why not point out that W. Michigan was also +300 net (similar to Bethune), and we won by 1 point? Lol. I...

Lol, winning each game by 20+ is struggling? There were frustrating moments in both games (Macalester defensively and BCU offensively), but neither game was ever in question. The floor and ceiling of this team are much higher this year than the previous two, and it's not even debatable...

It's a little disingenuous as the fees will likely be at least 5x the cost. But it is still absurdly cheap. I will be treating the wife to damn near courtside seats for under $25 all-in. If she plays her cards right, she may earn an encore for the UTSA Roadrunners on Friday. She is not a...

I’d prefer them to clinch bowl eligibility against Iowa.

I don't think he's a conventional #2, but I think with the right matchup, he could help defend certain perimeter players.

Ihnen was the only player to stick it out through the coaching change, has gutted out a two-year rehab, and this is the conclusion you draw from 12 minutes of basketball in his first game back since 2020? Get a grip.

You nailed it. I walked away with optimism. We have two very capable PGs who push the ball. It was enjoyable watching Hawkins and Mitchell out on the court together. It felt like an entirely different system from what we watched the last two years. The offense was fast and crisp, with few...

When I had mono in college, that took me entirely out of commission for a month, and I lost about 25 pounds. It sounds like he's had it for a while, so he should be on the upswing soon.

The shots he was making were borderline absurd. People around me were just laughing. Props to him; he put on a show! So many of the shots, you literally could not play better defense without fouling. I've never seen anything like it.

The winters are far too long for futile gopher basketball...
