Not sure I agree. I think this game showed what we've been seeing the last couple games that teams will double team both Nick and Barney and that causes them some issues with turnovers etc. If we can't get other reliable scoring options we will have difficulty winning games in the future. Hopefully based on what was seen today Collins will play Jello more.Zero positive in that game. Not making that argument. But it was a tough game coming off a brutal loss. We didn’t show up. We weren’t competitive. But just a bad day. Regroup. Move on. Have a good week of practice.
It makes our margin of error smaller, but I actually feel better about this than the PSU game. Sometimes you’re just off. We have a veteran club that won’t carry that over to next weekend.
Might be time to start thinking about the future. I just don't think this year's version has enough, which sucks for Barny, but true.I think benching Berry and Nicholson at the start of the second half speaks volumes. Leach barely played in the second half as well.

I don't think so. Collins is not that easy to sway based on recent performance.Would not be surprised if there’s a new starting lineup against MSU.
Like a LOT more. His athleticism is a huge advantage that nobody else can provide. Plus he's a good 3pt shooter.Also they need to play Jello more for sure. He's a very reasonable three-point shooter, has some height and is getting better at understanding the game flow.

I'd like to know why Smith's and-one was considered in the act but Barnhizer's against Butler was not. That foul today happened before he even went up.

The concern I have is teams know enough now to double Nick and Barney and basically after them we have limited to no offenseI still see it. Not today of course, but they're good enough to sneak in. The problem is they don't consistently put it all together.

They have flashes of that quality but I am not sure I see I'm getting enough Big Ten wins.

This feels like a game where Jello leads the team in scoring.
Hunger started second half over Nicholson, who sat out most of the first half. Collins must REALLY want the "offense" Hunger provides.
