Outstanding road win. Winning on the road is never easy, took their best shot but kept responding with streaks of our own to push the lead back to double digits. Hell of a game by Boz. He was the senior leader we needed tonight. Keaton, what can you even say at this point? Just superb. Best freshman we've had since at least Kofi. Tomi with an inspiring final 6 minutes to the game where he absolutely put Northwestern away. Add in a very big 3 by Jake at the right time, some phenomenal rebounding by Ben, a herculean effort by Mirk, and some big defense by Big Z. Just a great team effort. Huge win. Now keep it rolling, I want to see us atop the B10 standings

I'm just going to say it- If Oregon can gather enough money to get their QB to say no to the NFL... We must back up the brinks truck and make Wagler say yes to coming back..

Kinda dumb take - Ben played solid ball as his role dictated. Had some timely rebounds, played good defense, had 5 pts, 2 rebounds, and a steal in 15 minutes. Mirk played a solid game, sick and all. But don't denigrate Humrichous for a solid effort. PLayed the minutes he should play, delivered solid results that contributed to a road win.

Big refs remain unchecked in their ability to f up an entertaining game of hoops. Truly legendary stuff

Nice win going 5 on 8 in the 2nd half.

KenPom had it 80-72. We won 79-68.

We played our game (11-30 from 3), they played theirs and we won easily.

For all the folks in the game thread screaming for us to stop shooting 3's after we started 2-14. We went 9-16 the rest of the way. Our offense is GOOD. Let it cook.

Credit to the players for stepping up and making shots in the second half.

We still have entirely too many possessions where we don’t even attempt to get the ball inside the three-point line until there are under 10 seconds on the shot clock.

Regardless, your point stands. We were absolutely buckets in the second half 🔥

Also 8-8 from the FT line (again, not getting to the lane enough)….but 100% is always good
