I actually got more sleep, because I fell asleep during those games.

That is some spin!

I think I’ve fired him about 16 times myself haha

It certainly could be, but the big ten underperformed in non conf relative to other conferences. Big ten projects way fewer teams than typical.

The elation, I suspect, has more to with clinging to the first evidence in 2.5 years that their opinions might be right. There are a select few who seemingly cannot comment on the game, coaching, outcomes, without making it about themselves. Their interest in this board appears rooted in their...

Can anyone comment on how long the last minute regulation took to play out in real time? I had two toddlers under my watch so I was pausing a lot at the end of the game, but it felt like an eternity.

Sums it up. I don’t think any one of them was a particularly bad shot, but none of them were good looks. He has been a guy that can get his own look and pour in some points for us at times, so you want to let him play free… but man, let the offense work and feel out the game.

Is that your checklist for every four year window, or at the start of a coach’s tenure?

I get it - he had no tape and no previous system to sell. Bringing in seniors was a way to put something coherent together to sell. And I know it’s hard to fill a roster with spring recruits. I will die on this particular hill though: there must have been an unheralded point guard and/or...

Probably wins and losses. Maybe even retention of transfers that he has brought in.

I do think it’s fair to want to see his “first” class as upper classmen, as players can be expected to turn the corner at that stage. On the flip side, CBJ’s recruitment strategy delayed his foundation by a year so I’m less eager than I would be normally. I dont think he should simply get a pass...

Yep, it had worked until it didn’t. They hadn’t been pressuring Garcia before then so he must have been caught off guard. Oddly enough, I think Hawkins was in the game when Garcia turned it over. Glad the other guards steadied it for the most part in the second.

I don’t like the concept of any team being eliminated from the bracket in some capacity, but maybe this will incentive programs (cough Minnesota) from being content in the gutter year in and year out.

Perhaps he wasn’t going to shoot. I just haven’t seen elevator screens used to put someone in a corner like that out of an inbounds very often. Just a lot of planning to get Mitchell the ball in a tough spot. And it looked worse when wisco gets exactly what they want on the very next play. Also...

Every possession matters against Wisconsin. Players threw some away, Ben threw some away. I think wisco threw fewer away. I think it’s perfectly valid to look at head scratching playcalling when it’s only coming from one bench.

61 was a winnable game. But not all on players. Rewatch the play of Mitchell dribbling out of bounds (assuming you are talking about play resuming after the under 8). The play that was drawn up was ridiculous. Mitchell runs off picks in two circles then sprints away from the hoop towards the...

It’s not on Hawkins. We don’t run an offense that generates open looks or post entry options. CBJ can’t even do that out of timeouts. Our best offense has been Hawkins speeding everything up. Since the Tubby era, this team has struggled to score if the other team makes a bucket and sets their...

Raw talent wasn’t the difference tonight. hasn’t been for years.

He might have the best +/- tonight
