“Major upset”? We could very well be favored with Wisconsin and Illinois at home. Hardly a major upset regardless if we win. At UNC and Iowa will be tonight but again, the only “major” upset possibilities on our schedule are Michigan and Ohio State.
I’d be thrilled with 8-4, frankly. This schedule is brutal.
Near certain losses against Ohio State and Michigan. Probably at Iowa too. We’ll be underdogs at UNC.
Wisconsin and Illinois will be tough. Toss ups, IMO.
We *should* win the other 6, though PJ is prone to dropping a “should win”...
I know it won’t happen, academics hiring academics and all, but I really wish they’d hire someone who would clean house to combat administrative bloat and lower tuition for in and out of state students.
Won’t hold my breath.
ACC had fewer teams, and half of last year’s final four despite (again, I’m pretty sure) fewer teams then.
The B1G is, sadly, in an underachievement class of its own.
Unqualified coach is hired apparently in large part because of his skin color, turns out to suck at his job thereby proving he was unqualified and hired to check a box, and we’re unfair for wanting him gone? What a joke.
Minnesota has had a black basketball coach a majority of my 30+ years. BJ...
Ironically, this is part of the reason I didn’t like his hire. He seems like a great guy who loves the school/program who was hired for a position he wasn’t qualified for, which put him in a really hard spot.
That’s the double-edged sword of high-level “affirmative action hires,” if that’s...
