That worries me come February. Always afraid of dead legs and the 3 point shot fading down the stretch. He's been spectacular and hard to take off the court. That's for sure

Kid is a lottery pick best player on the team so far this season. Dare I say he is looking better than Will Riley was at this point?? Lets see if he can keep it up in the B1G meat grinder.
Quit making excuse for these guys. We only have 2 players that are consistent. Tomi and Mirk are no shows. Stupid tech. for what cost us 5 points at a critical time. Can't make free throws. Absolutely no excuse in college. Poor defense, I mean lack of. The same guy that guarded Thorton in OSU game also guarded Sanfort today. Irt was NOBODY!! Now 9 days off before Missouri kicks our butts! This team cannot shoot, they are soft and slow! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE BRANDON LEED IS AT?
Meanwhile AS is asking out of a game he played a whopping 27 minutes. Way too soft, sorry. Too much of that on this team.
Edit: May have come off too harsh on AS. He had a good 27 minutes, and he's certainly not the reason for the loss. Tomi though HAS to give the team more than 3 points (albeit a big shot) and 5 rebounds in 29 minutes. And his D definitely does not warrant those minutes if he is not scoring.

This is the very definition of basketball purgatory. Just good enough to keep the coach. Rarely good enough to make it past the first weekend of the Tourney.
20 games left in the regular season. If you look at the schedule, 10-10 wouldn't be a stretch in this conference for THIS team. Some good individuals, but not a good team. Not sure why.
If they lose all 20, I'll still watch just to see Wagler and Andrej...as they probably won't be here next year for one reason or another.

Team is Sweet 16 at best. Final Four is a pipe dream. Just not there yet. Have some work to do.
Sam hoiberg axmccording to BU was key making the right choices and getting in the lane making good passes. Our guy that can do similar things never gets a chance. I would love to see Mihailo with Kylan and Wags at the 1 -3. BU just won't play him at all
No to spell for them. Take some of the pressure off of them and give them a breather. What did we bring him in here for? Wagler played all 40 minutes today
He did that during the zone. From about 6 min to 2:30 on the clock. It served its purpose for a couple of possessions, but it gave wide open layups for several possessions during that span.
I always think it’s kinda funny when teams like St. Peter’s make a sweet 16 and then we say “sweet 16 at best” for illinois.
Idk
I know I don't blame the ref but that key foul on Tomi was bs
If you get in his face and foul him, he gets three free throws, needing 1 for the win. I'll give him the off balance three point shot for the win. But he made it so now we second guess.
We really need Tomi man. The Tennessee game gave me hope and we’re just right back to it the past 2 games.
I never think it’s as simple as one guy, but let’s go. And if not, what’s the deal?

Never said the man was good. Just said that stretch of some weird match up zone was bad.

@Fighter of the Nightman You still going to be rooting for "Nebrasketball" when we're not playing them?

I just can’t help but equate Brad Underwood with Matt LaFleur at Green Bay.
You’ll never be bad, and a lot of years you’ll be pretty good. But I’m starting to wonder whether 2024 was the ceiling.
Narrator: it was. Without TSJ, you wonder if Underwood would still be considered this amazing coach.
It’s December. So many teams that make deep runs don’t have it all together in December. This team hasn’t even had a loss to a team not ranked
Wouldn't it be in our interest for them to keep winning?
This after logging 39 against Ohio State. He’s sat one minute in the past 2 games.
Looks great on the stat sheet, a bit afraid he’ll burn out.
