Honestly felt like he was a negative at times for them in Ames.

To me their whole team felt like a negative in Ames

Pop Isaac will be out for our game with Tech

That injury didn't look good.

 

[madguy30]

Fred has got big troubles at NU. They are no bueno.

They're playing defense this year and if you ask the right people it's really good defense.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Freddy has been a disaster at Nebraska. Worse that Miles

Wisconsin in trouble. 2 bad road losses, not a favorable schedule ahead either.

 

[dahliaclone]

I know the league is tough but I’m gonna be pretty upset if we lose at Texas Tech. It’s crystal clear they’re the bottom of the barrel.

They're bottoming out.

I have to wonder if Gard is able to hold on there.

They shouldn’t be anywhere near the dance

Yeah, losing at tech would be a bad loss at this point.

Uconn now under .500 in the Big East. I didn't see that coming a month ago.

 

[JP4CY]

You would think if he never left Xavier, Miller would be a candidate at a school like Texas or Kentucky but he's got to ride out that redemption hire a little more I think.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

Yeah UConn looked untouchable in the non con. The only thing I can think of is conference familiarity with Big East teams and they haven’t adjusted or improved in the necessary areas as a group.

 

[CycloneErik]

Sean Miller with the assist to "Send it in Jerome!" Man, that was 1988? Time flies.

I watched it live. I'm definitely old.

 

[JP4CY]

TT's arena is back to looking like it's former self pre-Beard, mostly empty. Good.

Yeah the atmosphere sucked when I was watching

He’s a guy that can shoot them into or out of a game. Haven’t seen the injury, but don’t wish that on anyone.

For sure, hate to see injuries like that

 

[stormchaser2014]

Mississippi state up 7 over Alabama at half, and A&M up 15 over Auburn.

 

[dahliaclone]

Wisconsin shouldn't be in the field at this point.

If Indiana loses at MINNESOTA of all places, they should be out as well. Maybe a 10 seed. Gophers up one with 5:00 to go...

Around the time ISU played UConn, it looked like Elite 8-ish or better potential. It's still tournament lock at this stage, and some of the skid is related to strength of upper end of BEast (lower portion of the league is meh-to-dreck) ... But makes me wonder, will this be a team that looks dangerous early in season, hits a noticeable lull, then has upswing closer to tournament time and becomes sneaky dangerous?

A few teams emerge in March that way, not every season, but quite often.
