1/28 Weekend Games

I might have to walk back what I said about how a home loss to Michigan wouldn't be a bad loss. Still a lot of time until then, but they are looking really bad.
If RU wins today I predict PU, IU, RU, and us to be ranked tomorrow

In the coaches poll maybe but we’re 33rd in the AP and didn’t beat anyone with a number in front of it. Think we’re likely 24th or so in coaches and 27-28 in the AP
Time for my annual soapbox (nothing personal Italy):
1. If you believe Paterno and the former PSU administration are unforgivable monsters, that’s fine, but I highly recommend reading ‘Talking to Strangers’ by Gladwell. Good perspective
2. Can we as a board agree that there is a big difference between “scUM”, “Miznoz”, “Loosiers”, “Purdont”, “Idiots Out Walking Around” … which are all good natured and silly, vs. “Ped State” which is pretty clearly coming from a very different place. I’m not even trying to absolve anyone. I just don’t want to be forced to think about child rape because someone made a three pointer.
Penn State has a great shot. They are small enough that they double automatically and know how to properly rotate out of it.
And obviously they can shoot the lights out.
For Penn State, their shirts were for THON, an annual charity drive

Can’t stand Kansas and don’t like Kentucky. I would like to see Kansas lose and have a game losing streak. Oh well, they can start a new one.
1. I don't necessarily condemn them as monsters, but certainly would have liked the University to be held accountable beyond Sandusky. It had been reported to administration officials and swept under the rug. And after Paterno was determined to have also known and swept it under the rug, he was restored to "St. Joe" in the minds of their fans and officials. And FWIW, I think Gladwells' points try to explain the innocence of administration officials who misjudged the intents or Paterno and his staff. The key difference here being they knew.
2. That's a completely rational thought. I, however, will forever have ingrained in my mind the connection between PSU, Paterno, Sandusky, and child rape.
On edit: you gave an excellent response, I have no issue with anything you said.
All good points. Appreciate the discourse.1. I don't necessarily condemn them as monsters, but certainly would have liked the University to be held accountable beyond Sandusky.

So what does the board think? Is Howard fleeing to the nba before his seat gets hot?

True but Duke, Kent State, MSU all who received votes ahead of us lost this week
Charleston and New Mexico should drop from the Rankings based on their loses
I think UCONN should also drop out due to their lost this week even though it was to Xavier they are 2-6 since 12/31
Miami lost to Pitt so I can see them drop
so I think there is a chance

- IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT HE HAS FOULD OUT OF A GAME THIS YEAR. HE HAS ONLY HAD FOUR FOULS TWICE THIS SEASON
I hope not. Hating Michigan and watching Michigan lose are two of my favorite hobbies, and Howard helps in both respects.
Edey ended up with 38 points and 13 rebounds in today's game.

In our regular season finale (and if we see them in the conference tourney) I hope we run him ragged and really make him guard on the perimeter.
I will say the thought of Coleman having to matchup with him is unsettling... but we should have advantages at the 2, 3, and 4 spots (with Epps v. Smith being a wash)
Well, the coaching contract is a pretty huge mistake. The issue comes down to money. If they've got the alumni with the willingness to pour dollars into the program they'll be able to recover and probably fairly quickly. Still a ton of tradition there.
I have no idea how the whole thing crashed like this. But it's basketball. Quick fixes are possible. Although the coach is key.
Iowa can score. 90+ against RU is not easy.
Anyone watching the St. Johns & Georgetown game? Lol, I'm a sucker for Illini connection games and AJ storr just hit a 3 to put John's up Two from an assist by Curbelo. Former off-season Illini target Brandon Murray also on Georgetown. Pretty interesting filler from NFC championship.
They’re about to get destroyed though. So many games in a small window cause of covid
