Let’s wash away the bad taste from this loss tonight.
After this loss and the Boswell visit looming Vegas would have to make it 25 for me to not take it

I want to believe. I’m afraid it’ll be a slug fest where we pull away late, but I sincerely hope we pound them. It’d feel good to take out this frustration and get back on track before a rough stretch.
Blowout. Illinois by 15+

Poor poor northwestern to get us after this game. Brad will have us tuned back up
Regroup and beat the pants off these nerds.
I think OSU is the best team we play going forward and that's a home game. Schedule rest of season is pretty favorable, in other words.
Kofi is gonna go off! Probably a good game to give RJ a lot of minutes
If we can win 2 of 3 road games against Rutgers, MSU, and Mich and win all four home games we would be 16 and 4 and I would hope have a share of the title. If either Wisc or Purdue win out (can’t be both as they play in Madison) give them credit and the outright title.

Please win.
I was at the game in Evanston. It wasn't looking good for us with three to go. PLEASE, PLEASE don't let them hang around again.
Need a bounce back after the Purdue game. Let's get it!

We obviously need to win this home game. I personally think this is a game we need Curbelo to get his confidence back. I'd like to see him play 25-30 minutes, and score 20, 8 rebounds, and 8 assist. We are going to need him in the NCAA tourney when our kick out 3 pointers aren't falling.
Beat the crap out of the purple wussycats. Let those dorks know this is OUR state!Chad Fleck

He played a pretty solid game last night. 15 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 to's, good defense in 21 minutes.
The 0 assists do stand out. But he did get players the ball in scoring position a few times and they either just missed the shot or got fouled. Plus they weren't helping off our big men when they rolled to the basket which deflated Belo's assist numbers but also got him a couple easy baskets.
In a way, I feel sorry for Northwestern that they are playing us after our Purdue game.
Let's destroy those nerds.

This is the longest break between games in a month. Good time to refresh the legs and maybe integrate Goode, RJ, and Belo even more.
Wouldn't be surprised to see RJ be the first guy of the bench in this one. He was looking good.

Loved that Goode and RJ got some good tick last game. They've both shown the ability to impact the game in a different way than our regulars which I think is a great new addition.
Were a team that consistently runs out a 1-4 who are undersized by a collective half dozen inches easily against most opponents. Throwing some height in there has to disrupt what other teams game plan.
