danman31 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 A bit late but I feel I should join in the Big Ten/Big East discussion. The Big Ten is 6-3 vs. the Big East this year (games listed below) and is 4th in the RPI as opposed to the Big East's 5th. So, yes, 7 in the Big East as opposed to 3 in the Big Ten is a bit much.

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I haven't thought that BC team was any good all year (and certainly not since the suspensions), Al Skinner has done a great job getting the most out of them. Duke really tried to blow it tonight too, I still don't think much of them either, and haven't all year. As for DePaul....the level of wild inconsistency they have shown the last 2 seasons (ESPECIALLY this year) makes me think Wainwright is a lousy coach. Inconsistency is the greatest and most obvious sign of bad coaching IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yuck. 11-21 from the line tonight was where the game was lost. Oh, and Dominic James shooting two threes in the final 45 seconds, both coming from about three feet beyond the arc. A real shame, too, MU fans packed AllState. Virtually everyone in the UD was in gold and there was a big spralling of gold in the LD, too. Drunk morons in front of us, crappy All-State arena parking, and a bad game makes Keith unhappy.

The up-and-down game played to our favor because we're athletic ourselves. I also luved watching dominic james jack up all those long-range shots. Tough game. We wanted it more. Just wish the DePaul of these last 2 games was what I got to watch all season long. Still a disappointing season, although, sadly, I'm still holding onto that last glimmer of hope that we can maybe win out, go 10-6 in BE, win one or two in the BE tournament and sneak into the Tournament. Good to see the student section loud tonight too...

Inconsistency is the greatest and most obvious sign of bad coaching IMO. He's definitely been disappointing so far. I disliked the hiring. His in-game coaching has left a lot to be desired. The one-on-one offense is frustrating. He doesn't seem to motivate the team well either since we look so uninspired againt lesser opponents. But there have been tiny glimmers of hope, and we're stuck with him, so I'm hoping for the best. He gets plenty of praise from media and his peers so maybe it'll take a bit more time. I'm very excited about the recruiting class he's bringing in and hope he can continue to excel there. A top 15 class and winning recruits over other top schools, in-state and otherwise, has been a plus. Once he gets his players, maybe that will make a difference.

After this latest incident, I highly, highly doubt it. Mental/emotional state of the team? Bye bye. Hell, i honestly wouldn't be absolutely shocked if we were to lose on Sunday.

Heads22 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 LOOOOONNNNGGAR. I'd love to snap up a win over KState this weekend, but it won't be easy. We can still get as high as a 7 seed in the Big 12 tourney, but being seeded anywhere from 7-10 is a deathwish in this conference. I just hope KU is the big seed in our little pod. We won't play the 3 or the 4 seed, so I'd much rather we end up playing KU than A&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) We would mash you again......and again and again and again. WE are doing our usual kill everyone in the last part of the conference year and look like the best team in the nation in the big 12 tourney routine again. Old news, change the overall picture Coach Giggles, these kids are playing hard for you. Edited February 15, 2007 by Jimbo's Drinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old news, change the overall picture Coach Giggles, these kids are playing hard for you. ISU will always turn it up a notch for KU in basketball, like they do against Iowa in football. It's nothing to lessen what the Jayhawks do, it's just that since the Orr days we always play Kansas a bit harder, and we seem to get lucky every once in a while. I haven't even hated a KU player since Gooden and the Iowa boys.....I love the rivalry and I hope the two teams are always the class of the North.

greasywheels121 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Tough game for IU tonight at Purdue, where the Boilers are 13-1. Tonight could be a huge confidence builder for the rest of the season, as 4 of our last 6 are on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well Purdue protected home court and returned the favor to IU, 81-68. It was a close game for the first 30 minutes, but then Purdue started hitting everything. Teague had 32 and Landry dropped in 22, as Purdue ends a 5 game losing streak against IU. IU needs to find a way to split this week's games, with a victory on the road at Michigan Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the other day and laughed for about 10 minutes. The interesting thing is the Bears ESPN 1000 pregame show seems cursed right now, Coppock got his ass kicked, and Mongo hasn't been seen for 2 weeks (according to Mac, Jurko, and Harry yesterday).
