[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1175010, member: 10336"] First, let me state that I really hope that I'm wrong, but based on how poorly this team defends I think we're going to struggle against most teams that score as well as we do, particularly teams that have any kind of perimeter and interior offenses. We've also been poor at offensive rebounding, so unless the first shot goes down it's catch-up ball all night long. L vs Michigan (0-1) L at Ohio State (0-2) L at Michigan State (0-3) L vs Purdue (0-4) W vs Nebraska (1-4) L at Indiana (1-5) L at Minnesota (1-6) L vs Ohio State (1-7) L vs Wisconsin (1-8) W at Rutgers (2-8) L vs Iowa (2-9) L at Northwestern (2-10) W vs Rutgers (3-10) L at Wisconsin (3-11) L vs Indiana (3-12) L vs Minnesota (3-13) L at Maryland (3-14) W at Penn State (4-14) I'll put some caveats on this--a lot of these games are going to be competitive, (vs OSU, vs IU, vs NU) but I don't see much hope on the road against just about anyone that isn't named Penn State. I'll also predict that this is the year that Northwestern finally makes the dance. Again, I hope I'm wrong, but I also think this year sets up for an outstanding 2016-2017 if we get some guys able to defend and get offensive boards. [/QUOTE]
