Weber talking out his butt. Ohio State's defense has nothing to do with stopping us from making free throws. Ohio State been getting away with numerous fouls at the rim. Refs from this conference just cannot, for some reason, call a consistent game for both teams. Just a disgrace!

This team should be up double digits. As always: NO KILLER INSTINCT! Sped up on easy layups. Can't make a free throw. Dayum!!!!

Wildcats, like PSU last night, allowed to hammer underneath with impunity. I knew Northwestern was going to get the calls when Buie was allowed to take out three Badgers with a flying body block with no call. Like I said last night, big ten refs are a disgrace.

The main problem I have seen witnessed with this team since the beginning is they have NO KILLER INSTINCT! I am so sick of watching this team give up leads. They continually find ways to turn the ball over or lose men on defense. It is just so maddening. Also, Underwood has no sense of when to...

Unforced turnovers deprived the Illini of shot attempts. 3 stepping on the line was just terrible. Throwing the ball out of bounds a couple of times. Getting steals and then getting stolen right back. It is a tough loss but this team still looks like a team that can go to that second weekend. If...

Living in Fort Worth I, and my 2 buddies, bought public sale tickets to the 2 day first round session in '22 at the Dickies Center. We paid face value because we purchased them very early thinking that any wait could result in getting shut out. It turned out to be a great decision. We got to see...

Sure did. I remember Red doing Depaul games in the '70s. "Ganella, it's swella, fella"! What a great and catchy phrase.

I remember Saturday afternoon broadcasts of Big Ten basketball in the 60s with Bill Flemming calling the games. Such names as Jimmy Rayl, Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, Terry Dischinger, Bill Burwell, and DaveDowney stand out. I remember watching a televised weeknight game between Don Nelson's Iowa...

I thought that making disparaging remarks about the officials in post game interviews was against conference rules. Maybe he needs to be fined. Willard is full of himself, that's for sure. It was a very physical game. For Maryland to stay close they had to be physical. That is the way they...

Pruman, your posts always make me smile. Thanks, Buddy!

There are so many times that college refs assume something is going to occur that they make a call even if the violation did not even happen.

My take on yesterday is that it was inevitable that there would finally be a letdown. Our guys have been running on adrenaline for three weeks. The rotation cut and the sickness coupled with the Friday buildup to no decision took its toll. Also, when Hawkins picked up his second foul in the...

If he is reinstated by the court and it is perceived that Underwood and Whitman cooked up a scheme whereby Shannon does not see the floor, the mutiny on this team will be so final that the rest of the season will be played by a pick-up team gathered from the IMPE. Not only that but if it is...

Seeing John Beiline analyzing on Big Ten Network gives rise to the possibility that Michigan may make a run at him to return. I have no inside info, just a feeling.

Southern Mississippi knocks off James Madison. Curbello gets 15 points and 9 assists.
