Just like the last game Iâm very nervous here. I thought minny was completely overrated coming into the year and now they have stumbled. Contrary to both these points I do think they are good and talent wise they are capable of being top 25. Just like last game this would be a âbadâ loss even though I think they are much better then they have shown.
Coffey sitting would be huge. We wonât get any credit for these wins versus minny, nw, Maryland or penn st but theyâre all much better then stats indicate. Big ten should have been the top conference. Definitely talent wise I like the big ten but you canât fix the out of conference meltdown. Iâd still take minny or nw over most conferences 6-8 seeds all day.
Maybe Iâm the only one that feels this way but I donât see this being a problem at all. Theyâre without their most valuable player and have zero depth whatsoever.
Agreed. Think we easily take care of business if Coffey doesnât play.
IMO, we see our first true blowout tomorrow.
Longest rest between games and a sold out Crisler + Minnesotaâs struggles and possible injuries.
Plus JB owns Minnesota
But the real question is, will it be a comfortable win?
Is this confirmed?
Yep! Not too long ago though. I saw it a couple hours ago on Twitter.
Ha yes given the conversation this week, I shouldâve clarified. I think tomorrow we see a comfortable win, BEYOND covering the spread.
Coffey is out today. I canât see how we lose this game.
Yep, heâs out.
Hard to feel too good after that. What a shit show by the referees and our free throw shooting. Apparently the extended time off wasnât what we needed.
Simpson 6/6 from inside the arc is awesome, he needs to drive instead of settling for deep threes.
I have no clue why we stopped going to Moe in the second half.
Poole had an off shooting day, but thatâll happen sometimes.
Matthews needs to dunk everything because his layup shooting is suddenly awful.
Duncan is playing very well. Iâm glad he isnât making me look dumb after I went in full out defense of him a month ago lol.
This game never happened, onwards to Northwestern.
Oh Good Lord. In a timeout, Coach B told them to have some fun, dammit - this team is just not that good if theyâre not going for the damn thing. They played scared, nervous, tight, like all they could think about was this was a game they couldnât afford to lose. Team didnât go anywhere last year until Walton went raw animal on everyone.
Send my prediction to old takes exposed. Wayyy off.
Good grief that was a pathetic game. Kudos to the team for still pulling it out. UGLY UGLY UGLY but a W.
Fully agree on Duncan.
He was putting hands up and in the face of a lot of shots today. Love the way heâs playing recently.
If not for some ref foolery to save them, Minny not calling a timeout with 45 seconds left in regulation down three shouldâve cost them. They took an awful three then proceeded to waste 20 more seconds on defense being confused about what to do. Pitino is awful.
If weâd lost that game by letting it go into overtime, these guys would have put me in the ground.
What the hell was that possession down the stretch where we suddenly switched to man off a made shot and promptly got destroyed for an easy 2 we could ill afford? That happened, right?
