And yet the game threads and post game threads for losses and closer than hoped for wins are exactly the same.

What’s our record when we hit 9+ 3s

It wouldn’t have unfolded that way. It’s not linear. They stepped off the gas due to their huge lead. It happens especially in the NBA where no 20 point lead is ever safe.
11-2.
We had 10 threes in our Alabama loss and 9 in the first meeting against Northwestern.
Anyone else in attendance notice how annoyed Brad was with Hamer? Chewed his !!! about every other basketball.
I’ll give the Krush credit for being better in the 1st half.
2nd half tailed off and far too many people dozing off. (100 level included)

Thanks. I wasn’t sure off the top of my head. I feel that 30% number is key for us

I'm a Coleman fan, but he doesn't belong in this group. Those mentioned all have a nasty competitive mentality no matter the score.
Most of the time Brad just turns around and yells at whoever is behind him. Poor Booth, Ty and Jason get the worst of it lol

This is a microcosm of the problem with officiating in the B1G. This game was no more or no more physical than the the Michigan State game, but it was officiated much differently. From game to game you have no consistency. Call it like this game or call it like the MSU game or something in between, but call it consistently between crews.
I also miss the John Groce days.

I can’t decide if you’re a: a troll, a masochist, or someone who just plain doesn’t like basketball that much.

We ALWAYS struggle for a time around Jan under Underwood. Give it 3 more games then make your decision.

Yep, I think I was going for toughness being the thing we come up short with in some games.
Maybe it's just cohesion. Still coming together as a team because they are so new and young. Missing the vets like those previous teams.

This here. Championship teams don’t let up and don’t ever relax. Bad habits have a way of showing up at the wrong time. Coach K was one of the best with this. He had all the talent in the world but he taught them to never let your opponent think they had a chance….ever!
Yup, comfortable leads aren't always enough. I probably wouldn't say, "OK, it really over" unless we were up (or down) 15 or so with 2 minutes left. Or MAYBE up (or down) 35 at pretty much any point of the game
That is what happens when you are lead by young guys. The leaders are a Freshman and a 1st year Sophomore who is out right now.
Great that they let them play. However, how different would the game be if they had called 30 fouls like in other games. Morez would have been lucky to play 20 minutes. Doesn't seem right that the level of officiating can have such a significant affect on the outcome.

That's exactly what you're trying to do and you're being successful. Kiddos to you.
It was the first post I read when I opened the thread. I just thought we were naming former players.
