Gumbyhawk, Mrs. Gumbyhawk, and Little Miss Gumbyhawk were in attendance Saturday. Carver was fucking rocking there at times. I actually got a bit of a sore throat from yelling..... at a basketball game no less. I am not sure if there is an official score, but I know who is winning the "best coach on campus" contest. Last I checked, Ferentz and Fran both had two wins in conference play. Asshat.

The bottom line is that these guys are a hell of a lot more fun to watch this year than last year and the year before. Helps me to forget about the Little Lick years and games with final scores in the 30's and 40's.
This team is loaded with talent and much of it is young. It's only going to get better next year and the year after. Hang on, it's going to be a fun ride!

God damn Ohio State is shooting well against the Hawks. Iowa looks like they are deflated this second half.

I am not one for moral victories, but I think acknowledging growth and development is another thing. I was pretty proud of them last night when they fought back to make it a game and make fOSU nervous. They could have easily packed it in and lost by 40.

What the hell happened to our FT shooting?
Our shooting from the floor was awful too, but I can at least attribute a good portion of that to OSU playing some solid defense. No excuses for shitty FT shooting from a good FT shooting team.

I was wrong. This team is not making the NCAAs. When you lose to a horseshit program like Purdue like that, you don't deserve to go to the Big Dance- I don't care where the game is played.
Also, thank you, Marble for hogging the ball and playing 1 on 5 at the end of regulation. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE knew you were going to do that. Way to be a team player when we needed you the most, Devyn.
This team can only HOPE for the NIT after that shitstorm. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Marble struggled.....AGAIN...but I have no problem with his shot at the end of regulation. It was a good shot, and took it late enough so Purdue wouldn't have an opportunity.
As a whole, just an infuriating game to watch. Yes, the comeback was pretty cool. But that 2-3 minutes of good play doesn't make up for the 37 minutes of shit play. i didn't expect Woodbury to be near as developmental as he is. Gessell is the real deal, though. Marble has either got to start making shots are stop taking them.

Here's my issue, the Big Ten really isn't that fucking good. Michigan is good and Minnesota is pretty good at times, but the rest of the conference (Indiana included) sucks fucking donkey cock. But all of college ball pretty much sucks donkey cock because all the good players are going into the NBA so damn soon. But these close losses better fucking get turned around at some fucking point and Jok and Uthoff better fucking be decent because we still got some fucking stiffs on this team.
"Oh, we're young" well yeah so is the fucking rest of the conference and we absofuckinglutely have to have a winning record against Wisconsin, Illinois and Purdue collectively this year if we are going to keep any recruiting momentum going. Fuck.

The problem with this team is that I am fairly confident in saying that all of these players are no better now than they were as freshmen. They are basically the same players. We haven't gotten any better.
If we can't shoot we better figure out how to get into transition with far more frequency than they do.

Utoff and Jok better to be able to hit an open jumper, create their own shot, and make FT's or we are going to be in the same boat next year. Sorry, there is no excuse to lose to a shitty team like Purdue. And fucking 4-26 in the first half from the field (one of those being a goaltending) are you fucking serious? ? Just pathetic. Fran better fucking bench Oglesby. 27% from 3? At least May offers you something more than a guy that can't do the one fucking thing he is in the game for.

Yeah, I just don't understand why Oglesby is still getting significant minutes. He is totally lost and not even taking the shots any more (which he will likely miss anyway).

Eric May has the potential to be a good player (in lieu of Oglesby), but he's too damn afraid to take a shot. He seems absolutely petrified to touch the ball. WFT?

This team is full of guys who hesitate instead of pulling the trigger. Fucking shoot the ball, jerkoffs...except for McCabe, that bricklaying fuck. Also. when there's 55 seconds in the half, why the fuck don't you play 2 for 1? You're just giving away a possession. It's equal to a turnover.
If I gave a shit about basketball this garbage would really chap my hide.

I don't mind McCabe's game. He does have his deffecienies, but you won't find anyone on the floor playing harder than him.

Even if we go 10-8 our RPI is going to kill us at the end of the year...I am starting to think 10-8 with 1 win over a crappy team in the BTT wont be enough

If something crazy happens, like the team goes on a run and sneaks into the tourney than it would just be an added bonus. But at this point that seems highly unlikely. Sure the schedule gets easier but I wouldn't say at this point any of those games are easy wins aside from maybe PSU this weekend.
