Think this team is starting to figure some things out. Just so many pieces than can hurt you. Rotations are getting better and everyone seems to be settling in. The team we dismembered last night wasn’t as bad as we made them look.
Barring injury or other disaster I think the floor is top 5 in conference, top 15-20 in country and are a team no one wants to see come March.

Merry Christmas to that

13-3 to finish out the season...into the B1G Tourney and the Dance?
25-6 overall and 16-4 conference Great Non-Conference, probably the most teams by conference going to dance/tied with SEC?
Projected seeding would be a 3-4 overall with all things considered. Elite Eight at a minimum should be the goal with this kind of talent.
Good recruits coming in the following year, portal additions/losses.....this year and farther is looking good.

Let's get past tomorrow first.,

No reason to be short sighted, look ahead, tomorrow will take care of itself....I did say 3 losses more. Tomorrow should not be one of them.

And right before our stretch of facing Purdue, Nebby, and Sparty all on the road. Brutal.
Every fucking year something weird always happens to fuck with our mojo right when we’re rolling.

For some reason I am expecting BIG things from Humrichous during his absence. Ben seems to have really "bought" into better defense, he has shown a little bit of "dog" defensive attitude at times this year. It would not surprise me to see BU lean on him and tell him.....your role right now is to step up and be that leader on defense" we got the scoring handled. With Boswell gone, he is really the only one that makes sense, Mahailo and Lee are way too green, Davis for as steady as he is as a player is not the defensive answer, Andrej, gets to drive and rebound, but he gets lost on defense end ALOT. Wagler has to do too much of everything else. Expect to see Big Z and Tomi together alot also with Z holding down the lane to cover up for drives and blowbys.

Sucks, for sure.
And today's fishwrap says we're 19+ point favorites tonight.
