Hoffarber breaking out makes this loss more tolerable

If this was the beginning of seeing the old Blake, I'm willing to forsake this loss for dividends in the future. We really, really, really needed the old Blake back. This will help us immensely down the road. If he can become the old Blake again, this will help open up the bigs in the paint. If Blake can shoot like this or close to it for every game on out, we truly will be tough to beat.

I agree the Hoffarber hitting his shots tonight helps make this seem more bearable, however, I think that splitting with Ohio State is fine. How many people expected us to do that before the season?

It must have been a huge relief to Blake and the rest of the team that he started to hit his shots. I agree with KyGopher that Blake's success will open a lot of avenues for us in the paint. I highly doubt that Tubby lost faith in Blake at any point. He keeps running him out there and for that I am thankful.
