have to beat iowa and seton hall at home.

schedule is brutal from Jan 15 - Feb 5th. 5 of 7 on the road, Baylor and OSU at home.

If we're still alive Feb 5th we have a chance. Season could also be over by then.

Interestingly 'hero ball' was thrown out there during Hoiball and Deandre Kane wasn't known for switching the ball side to side. The 'spacing' with Royce White was give it to Royce, and get out of the way.

Who knows what this team will do.

Could win both but I can also seem them getting buried too.


People really seem to have selective memories as to how we played 10 years ago.

You want a criticism? This staff has not done a good job recruiting shooters. Fred’s teams had enough guys that could make enough shots to mask the stretches of inefficient offense, and the continued lack of defense those teams played.

A win is a win, but man are there some worrying signs when you're struggling to put away a team that sits around #250.

I checked their scores. Teams are beating them bad but not by like 50. Curious if they’ve hung around on teams.

Didn’t score much, but Jackson’s effort was outstanding tonight

He's pretty smooth and might be someone who can get a defense to respond.

ISU had a hard time getting the defense to respond tonight...was an issue in Seton Hall 1.0 too.

As far as the sluggish game tonight, wasn’t impressed with the overall effort most of the game, but when the team just got home from a high profile tournament and have a high major opponent coming to town Sunday, it makes sense that this ended up being somewhat of a letdown. Glad they put it away late.

Gotta temper expectations and just enjoy the ride with this team. At least they are enjoyable to cheer for and look like they play hard. Last year's team had way too many primadonnas. This team has potential to be good, but probably not great. Round of 32 ceiling probably.
