Fixed it for you

Please don’t take this as me not wanting KB back, but the one thing that doesn’t get enough attention is how well JD has stepped up defensively, for this run. I was seriously concerned we couldn’t play at this level without KB’s defense.

You can have the greatest skill set and not play, if you refuse to play the style of play of the system. People assume it’s a misjudgment, or can’t evaluate talent, but it’s more the refusal to adapt to the team game plan. If podz took away from the team dynamic, idk. But Tre White...

Ohhhhhh, there’s a huge difference!!! Mirk wants to be here.

I’m sure the short distance between the two schools comes into play too. Travel expenses are far cheaper, by bus to NW, than a flight to Ann Arbor or most other schools. I’m sure our athletic department appreciates the cost savings, as would most schools

And you want to know why we can’t expand a lead in the second half?? The officials are trying to keep these games close for viewers, and more teams in the tournament. I swear, it happens every game.

They didn’t want to get too large a lead. They know loyalty expects them to win the second half points and had to have a little incentive to play harder this second half 😉

I thought the entire game was extremely physical. No sense risking an injury, when you’re up 20 points. I think KW getting smacked in the head was enough for me to think, take it a little easier, and finish them off.

I always enjoy, and respect, an opposing fan coming on this board and sharing their opinions, and team discussions, without being rude or belligerent. I like getting an insight from someone who watches every game. I’ve watched two Nebraska games and share your opinions. I’ll cheer for you guys...

Petrovic will get more minutes to work himself into more playing time, when we get a good lead and can rest Bowswell and Wagler. They’re going to need to be fresh every game in Big Ten games.

We covered!!! 😂

Thank you. I hate how hard it is to find for your home state schools

What is the spread on today’s game?

You can have both, Morez succeeds at Michigan, and we gain Big Z, and we’re better off with our fit. I’d rather we have a tight knit group of guys who enjoy playing together, than a disgruntled player rocking the boat. Please stay optimistic, and stop the negativity. I’m extremely excited...

As far as the Ben minutes conversation, MJ is still able to ease into playing condition and heal and TW wasn’t as effective as Ben was. We weren’t in a position of needing more, and his defense kept him on the court. His +\- speaks volumes for why he’s on the court. Obviously, his shooting is...
