You're actually right. The reason I like you outside of these games is because you admit you're over the top during the games.
We were horrible. Couldn't throw it in the ocean. Give credit to them if you want, but we had 2.5 guys going today.
With the exception of BMac, this team looks spent and lost. Collins should talk to Fitz about sleep strategies...
Need more schlorsip players. Need Vassar's schlorship. One less schlorship is hurting team. Adding 3 schlorship players next season will be big. More schorships make for more wins. 13 schlorships is better then 12.
Oh, I'm a terrible poster during game threads. But I'm too old to change now. I assumed people stopped reading my lunatic ravings years ago.
Seems to me this was the fourth game in nine days. Get some rest and bounce back against Indiana.
To me that is fair value and there would be no reason to bet. I would do your $500 to my $100. Of course, I would love to lose the bet.
I will. Illinois played a very intense brand of defense on us and wore us down in the second half. Perhaps 4 games in 10 days was a factor as well as our poor depth. McIntosh was harassed all night with jump switches and we committed all sorts of turnovers. Assists were down because we had difficulty passing the ball without giving up steals.
I would go so far to say that that was the best defense I have seen against NU all year. They were forcing the team to take bad shots for 40 minutes. And you can get lucky taking bad shots for a while, but eventually you're going to end up getting your butt kicked if you can't adjust, especially when you factor in fatigue and foul trouble.
$450 to $100. I would still make that bet. As I mentioned, I would be very pleased to lose it.
I was honestly on the verge of taking it pending the Michigan game today, but they demolished Purdue. I don't think NU loses out, but I also think tonight is the best shot at not doing so, and I can't lay 4.5 to 1 on that scenario.
I know. It's a tough one and I sure hope NU wins at least one of the remaining 4 (or hopefully more) but I wouldn't put much on it considering the teams we have left.
I actually think we have a far better shot of beating Michigan at home. Michigan has been dominant at home, but a completely different team on the road. Indiana, however, has been fairly good at home: most of their terrible games have been on the road.
