Today marks 3 weeks since KB suffered his injury. We're officially creeping into "mid-February".

It would be awesome to see Kylan back on Sunday against Indiana after 4 days of rest/practice.

Agree. I would love it if he could come off the bench for 10-15 minutes or so against IU to get rhythm and timing back just in time for the 2 west coast games which I think will both be challenging.

there are 4 teams that have not lost back to back conference games:
MU
Illini
OSU
Badgers.
One will be out after tonight. MU was able to avoid it, Purdue and Nebraska were not. Because they are home games this and IU are big games for Tournament seeding. Both teams have good guard players that can shoot.
BTW, MU, Illini and believe it or not, OSU have also not lost back to back games all season.

Underwood responded the right way to this game. He told the team that they are a final four caliber team and there were things they did that were uncharacteristic. I think that will serve the team well to:

1. Shake off the loss
2. Recognize the importance of focus on every detail of the game. When it's 8 against 5, you have to do everything right, especially when the ball isn't going in.

I don't expect this loss to turn into multiple losses. I have a feeling that this will end up being a great lesson and motivator for the remainder of the season.

I feel like Boswell makes a short appearance against the Badgers just to boost his teammates and get the crowd going!

The more I look at the schedules, the more I'm convinced Illinois and Michigan share the title at 17-3. MSU has no shot, IMO. Their schedule is brutal.

I get a feeling our odds of at least having a share of the title are going to come down to beating Michigan. Not sure they’ve got two other losses if we lose to them, though they play some extremely tough games.

Wisky has heightened, plays 8 guys regularly and can shoot the 3. We need to run them off the line and clamp down Boyd and Blackwell.

Yep, they're no joke. They played extremely well at Michigan, and I expect Blackwell to have a big game against us with his athleticism and outside shooting. If we have an off-shooting night, it's gonna be tough.

This will probably be a hard game. Boyd and Blackwell are relentless and if we continue to go over screens instead of under at the top of the key, Tomi will probably foul out again.
