Agreed. I think Gonzaga might have a little higher upside later in the year, but I have a feeling Baylor might bully them a little bit Saturday. I'm all the way here for teams like Baylor, Creighton, Illinois to a degree, Houston being awesome this year. Gonzaga in the eyes of some will never...

I see Suggs is ready for the NBA with the overdramatization of an injury. Only half-joking so don't get after me. In all seriousness, I love the Zags and without him, they are good, but not national title contender good.

When the other perimeter shooters shoot 30 percent and Kalscheur shoots 33 percent, he's both one of the better shooters on the team, and a poor 3-point shooter. That isn't that hard of a concept to grasp. I'm in agreement with the poster who evaluated Kalscheur as streaky out of HS. He was...

The CFP committee will pick the Buckeyes no matter how many games they've played. It's all about ratings and dollars - this year even more than any other year. It does not matter how many games they've played or if they haven't won their conference championship. OSU is a monster brand with a...

Ignoring the COVID question because every team will have that one hanging over it Here are the big questions I'd have for this team 1. Can they score efficiently in the halfcourt? They aren't going to be a fast breaking team (and man they had some rough looking transition opportunities the...

Honest question: What are some of the weaknesses in Bateman's game? I read somewhere that there may be some concerns about his ability to separate at the next level...he's great at contested catches but the drawback to that is that he's making contested catches in the first place and not...

This is technically an upset but not real surprising given what Richmond has coming back. Believe they return 7 or 8 of their top 8 or 9 guys including four seniors and multiple double-figure scorers. They are the favorite in the A10 (along with St. Louis) and would win 25 games if this were a...

I've asked a similar question before and I'll ask now: do other states' major newspapers do this kind of thing? I'm legitimately curious. Because I don't understand the seeming obsession with tracking guys who are 'one of us' Does Fuller do this because he actually subscribes to this weird...

My mindset on Curry for the last two years has been anything he gives you is a cherry on top because I'm expecting him to provide nothing. If he can play even 8-12 minutes a game and not be a liability, the depth of this team is that much better. Robbins will take time to adjust to Big 10...

Not super related, but I think Burnsie has a very different view on the idea of a 'negative game script' than I do. Being down a score or two in the first half, I suppose is technically negative, but not negative enough to abandon the running game. Why does it seem like his analysis...

I wonder if any of the teams picked higher think its ridiculous that they were picked to finish so high and think they are actually worse than the predictions.

Odd that the teams we've played so far this year don't seem willing to bow down to our accomplishments from a season ago

Morgan locked in on primary receivers all of last year just as he is this year. He was never particuarly good at reading defenses and still isn't. He just has even less receiver talent now and opposing defenses have clearly come up with a counter to our bread-and-butter RPO passing game...

Anyone who watched Morgan play last year knew he was not a 1st round NFL draft prospect. He's not physically impressive. He doesn't read defenses. He had good stats because he had the best WR Tandem in the Big 10 and an incredibly efficient offense that was built on a quality running game...

When you are good and come into a season with expectations, the media will torch you when you look incompetent. That's part of being evaluated with the big boys - which is what Fleck wants. The fact that people are starting to question him shows that they aren't just eating up his goofy...

Chalk this one up as one of those things the losing team just has to live with because the losing team got steamrolled. Don't like it, use it as fuel and beat them - if you ever can. Ferentz clearly doesn't like Fleck much - and he's not the only coach. Fleck has his own style and it rubs...

No clue if this answer is out there anywhere: but what is the liklihood that one of Olsen/Schlueter decide to come back? Does anyone have any insight on where those guys might be at in that regard? Because if even one of them comes back, you've got the makings of a really nice line again next...

This is very good (and expected but you never take it for granted) news. Gach gives the team - in theory - a quality secondary ballhandler. If he can shoot it more like he did as a freshman than he did as a soph, then the Gophers have a high-quality complementary piece. There's some projection...

I was under the impression that both Michigan and Maryland's offenses were also quite inexperienced. That didn't seem to impact them (against us at least). Inexperience and youth can only be an excuse for so long. The team has fourth-year guys on the DL. Sori-Marin is an upperclassman. Three...

If this development is true (and I think most of us were expecting him to be able to log minutes anyways), the depth on the perimeter is shaping up to be a strength for this team finally. Carr, Kalscheur, Gach (assuming he gets that waiver) plus Mashburn and Williams gives you five guys for...
