I had convinced myself we were an extremely well rounded team, built for a Tournament run … I know am forced to think we can only win consistently if we shoot well. I’d love so much to be proven wrong, but we likely have to shoot lights out to win in East Lansing. Hope we do.
Hope you’re right, my friend. The second half letdown vs. NU and today’s performance give me a terrifying nervousness about our “fire” right now. Countless mistakes these past two games where it was 100% just mental and due to not being amped enough. I can deal with poor play, but TOUGHNESS has been an essential part of our identity under BU, and it’s been lacking.Michigan state misses their fair share of shots. I'd reckon this rutgers game was the hardest game left on our schedule. We match up fine with every team left.
all i have to say is we’re in big trouble
If we play like we did today we would lose to Nebraska....if we play like we did today we're in for a bad time...

If the worthless purple wussycats can get a W at Sparty's place so can Illinois! GO ILLINI!Think Michigan State is gonna get revenge in this one but Illinois wins the rest of their games after this
Two out of sync teams. Losing three out of four would leave a sour taste. Winning like losing is contagious.Two really out-of-sorts teams playing at 11AM, this will be a real gift for the winner.
Our super seniors have been exposed and now everyone knows that Jake and Monte can't beat any off the dribble drive and if they get lucky to beat someone they can't finish and will rush the shot. Can't have wings just sit around the perimeter without the ability to beat someone off the bounce. Too many 1 dimensional offensive players.Let RJ uses his athleticism to penetrate inside 15 ft and watch him create for guys. Dmw, grandison basically just pass it around the 3pt line and never penetrate, making them 1 dimensional.
Just two games ago DMW was driving and scoring. Grandison has had some good driving games as well. Relax. They are both slumping. I'm more concerned about their lack of effort.Our super seniors have been exposed and now everyone knows that Jake and Monte can't beat any off the dribble drive and if they get lucky to beat someone they can't finish and will rush the shot.
