Hate to say this but we'll be the trend-busters today.

Yeah I guess I'm not either. Each one of these losses is just becoming more annoying, and continues to push me further and further on the "fire groce" side of the fence.
I don't think there are any at this point. I listen a lot to the post-game radio shows and Tay and Jay shows and I don't hear the same optimism or "let's give him some more time" like we've heard in the last couple of years. Everyone knows what's going on and knows the writing is on the wall. Groce still doesn't have a set rotation and it is almost February.
Hint for Groce: Finke/Nichols/Abrams and very little doses of Tate and basically Thorne should be benched like he has benched DJW b/c Thorne is literally adding nothing. Not his fault, the knee injury took a lot out of him, but start adapting and stop playing your seniors b/c they are seniors. Play the men who give you the best chance to win.

The sad part is I'm not even pissed. I kind of expected this. Not down by 20 at half, but to lose on the road to a crappy team was fully expected.

Is that to get him off the floor?
Don't know how old you are, but in the early '80s, NBC was stuck broadcasting a lousy late season Jets-Dolphins game. With very little interest among fans, they came up with the gimmick of broadcasting the game with no announcers. It became a huge story and a ton of people watched (including me) at least some of the game to see what it was like. I think I'd prefer that today.
We lack athleticism and overall talent, but we have some good shooters and plenty of size. If we played with consistent effort and solid fundamentals, we would be a decent Big Ten team, especially in a down year like this. There's no excuse for the lackadaisical defense, lazy passes, and general passivity. It's gotten to a point of comical predictability. What a mess.

why is tate getting playing time?
A two for one, Get Groce off the bench and Tate off the floor.

Mav started well, ended the half terrible.
I don't understand how we can't get a good shot for JCL. His shot is so pure most days, but we can't even get him a good look?

The all you can eat salad and breadsticks is a pretty decent deal.
All I am looking for in the second half is honest effort. That's it effort.
Abrams starts over JCL? Hmmmm...Announcers beginning the 1/2 poorly, calling Te'Jon Lewis' name multiple times.
