Too much counting chickens before they hatch for me. Let them play the games and let’s see what happens…

Great interview with Hawkins. Fun to get a better sense of him as a person. Seems like a positive leader for the team and likes being here.

Back to the subject of his FTs, I suspect he and the coaches have worked on them. There are some notable big men who suffered from the line throughout their careers, to name a few: Wilt, Shaq, Giannis. Perhaps someday he will deserve mention in the same sentence as those for other aspects of...

Of course. My point is that any player can get injured at any time (as we have seen). I was never coached to “play dirty,” nor did I ever coach a kid to do so. C’mon man!

I think Garcia will play. However, if he doesn’t, start JOJ. Payne is very likely to get into early foul trouble again in this game no matter what the coaches tell him. Purdue has demonstrated that they can be beat. Of course we have shown that we can play horribly, or great (for stretches)...

IMO, there is plenty of blame to be spread around for this most disappointing loss. The first half was a demonstration of how this team can and should play: ball movement, good shot selection, and Garcia played like All Big Ten. As some players a acknosledged after the game, the team should...

Nice analysis!

We need to handle Krikke in the paint. He burned us inside at The Barn. And Dix shot very well, both from 3 and mid range jumpers. Agree that defense is the key. Plus, get Payne the ball in the paint, need Dawson to score early and often, and Cam to keep playing like all- B1G freshman! Go Gophers!

WTF are you talking about? I said that I do not hear people griping ABOUT the bathrooms, not griping IN the bathrooms. BTW, I am not overweight, but I am well over 6 feet, played the post. You were probably one of those skinny guards, or maybe you didn’t hoop. Wanting larger seats means I’m fat...

Okay. Fine to be wrong on this, don’t care that much about it. Guess I’m defining older As roughly 55+

I essentially agree with the points you make. Us old time season ticket holders won’t be around forever and there has to be appeal to a younger audience and families. I acknowledge that I do not know what appeals to that younger fan base. Yet, I hope they do not build entirely new.

Good for you! Low turnover on the concession staff then? Personally, never had The Barn ice cream. Don’t tell me my life would have been just a little bit better…

Hahaha. No. I stand for the rouser, of course, and stand to cheer, for the anthem, etc. Also stand and chat with people I know near my seats at halftime. To be more precise, I should have said that I don’t leave my seat area.

I rarely leave my seat once the game starts, so I wouldn’t know about the lines🙂. I will say, though, that the beer line before the Badger game was particularly long with perhaps 2000 WI fans in the arena.

I watched PSU beat Iowa last night. They turned them over A LOT, and limited their perimeter shooting. I think we are capable of doing the same. Iowa does have good post play. When we lost to them here, we got burned inside, and they hit some crucial jumpers. Carver Hawkeye Arena is a tough...

I did not say “no one buys concessions.” Obviously, some people do. I said that the long time season ticket holders who sit around us tend not to. But you seem to miss my point, which was that upgrading the arena to provide better concessions seems unnecessary. And no, I would not see it as a...

I could be wrong on this, but I think a lot of people with high ticket priority, long time ticket holders, are older. We tend not to buy “ junk food,” hot dogs, pizza, ice cream, popcorn, etc. Most people that I see in the lines tend to be younger, maybe even people who don’t attend as often...

As a long time season ticket holder, I have sat in various sections and attended games with low attendance and sellouts (yes, a long time ago). The people who sit around us are also season ticket holders, of course. Rarely does anyone purchase anything from concessions, so I don’t think...

JOJ’s minutes are being eaten up by both Christie (who has rarely stepped off the floor in the last 2 games) and Fox. He is the kind of player who gets better as the game flows — spot minutes don’t work so well for him. Would hate to lose him, for sure. Next year his minutes may well increase...

Just sayin’ : B1G NOW discussion moments ago, “Who do you like for coach of the year?” 4th name mentioned (after Painter, Underwood, and Collins), none other than Ben Johnson .
