I am not hitting the panic button given we have only lost close games before today but we cannot afford to go to 1-4 in the league. You have to beat MSU. Students have to be going crazy. We need a ton of purple in the building.
MSU next Sunday is a must win
- Thread starter Baz=Heisman
- Start date
When you looked at this stretch of the schedule had to know it was going to be brutal. Nee it more because it is a home game and we need to hold serve
It probably depends on NFL matchups that will be announced tomorrow. Game will probably be on CBS or FOX before or after their playoff game.
I believe the game is at 11am, which seems just too early for a basketball game. Much prefer a late afternoon or night game.
Agree, a must win, but I'm afraid this year will be a near miss on the tourney. Because our outside shooting is going to be inconsistent this year, when teams overplay our inside game, we probably won't win. Purdue is good by not great and showed how that defense can work. We will probably about break even in the Big10 going forward, which will leave us only 5 games over .500 on the season.
Your analysis is spot-on ... which is why I think CC needs to try Angelo a lot more, see if he can keep shooting threes in the high-30s (currently 46.7% with very low attempts), and live with the growing pains on defense.
We have to somehow survive the next few weeks and then the schedule eases up.
Next 3 games:
Mich St
Maryland
at Michigan
We have to win at least 1 of these, 1-6 in conference would be the knockout punch.
Indiana
at Illinois
Somehow someway, we need to be at least 3-6, preferably 4-5 (hold serve at home) before the schedule is to our favor.

I think we need to win the next two home games to stabilize the ship because at Michigan and at Illinois are almost certain losses. I know we have confidence against MSU but it was at least perceived to be a lot of Boo. The boys gotta get rest this week and be very pissed off going to WRA this coming Sunday.
The "almost" wins at Iowa and Penn State were killers. Dancing is a big long shot at this point,.
I agree completely. In a weird way, I think it would help Ty Berry as well, since I don’t think he thrives with pressure being on him. Perhaps knowing that somebody else is being counted on for scoring will actually enhance his game.
He also has to stay out of foul trouble. And he probably isn't strong enough yet. but he also has an inside game somewhat similar to Martinelli to go with that 3 pt shooting, Lotta versatillity in his game, Gotta hope Berry gets his O game back but at this point Chello is getting to be a descent alternative
At this point the spot he takes is probably Berry cause hard to think of him getting Barnhizer or Martinelli off the the floor. Other possibility is getting some minutes from Leach but gotta imagine they will be few and far between
