PSU on the road. I honestly have no idea what could happen.

Same. I'm excited for this one. Should pretty clearly foreshadow how the rest of this season will unfold.

Considering Rutgers took Wisky to OT today; Min up on Maryland at half, etc. We are 8 games into the season and 8 B1G teams have had 3 game or more losing streaks so far. The B1G is definitely unpredictable as a whole this year.

If there's one thing that's resolutely difficult year in year out, it's grabbing wins on the road.

But if there is one thing that is predictable it's that we are terrible on the road.

Are we? Or have we just played against good opponents?

Losses at UM, UMD, IU and Purdue were all predicted preseason by most, before anyone thought this was a bad road team.

I'll need to see us actually lose a game we are supposed to win before making such a declaration.

It's not that we lost those games, it's how poorly we played while losing them.

They were awful.

Couldn't agree more. We lose all those expected games putting up a good fight, and there is hope we can still get the wins we need. We still may, but it doesn't instill confidence.

I've never heard greg amsinger call a basketball game before, should be interesting. Didn't know he was working for btn now. I'm assuming he's still with MLBN too

Why do we have so much trouble on inbounds plays?

Why can we not run some proper screens for JCL so he can catch and shoot instead of trying to create?

Same inbounds play Malcolm got burned on a couple games ago. Exactly the same play.
