Who here expected ANYTHING close to this from the Hawks this year?

Most were hoping they could sneak into the NCAA tournament! Just a great and fun season so far.

I am guilty of just hoping to sneak in.

Although Woodbury is scumbag and deserves no credit.

Boiler big men are soft...Woody showed them how B1G bigman are supposed to play physical and aggressive.

Not a single person saw this coming. I figured a solid showing due to the seniors and experience, maybe a middle of the B1G 6-7 seed. The real X factor has been the bench. Uhl has stepped up huge along with Baer and Wagner. Ellingson hit some huge shots this game. Just a great team. This is so much fun to watch.

I thought Uthoff would be All B1G, but not 1st team All America. THe bench is huge key as mentioned. I did not see this year coming in either football or basketball.

What?

Earlier someone checked out the Purdue board and that's what they were saying. That Woody took out that Purdue player's legs on purpose. C'mon man, really? He just made a good play.

PURDUE will take care of business. They look DANG good today, Hawks were just better.

They can start on Feb 6 @ maryland

Is there any team out there so much more athletic that they could overwhelm us?

 

[DewHawk]

This excuse is lame.

Didn't say it was an excuse, but it was a fact.

 

[CanadaHawk]

Remember when most Hawk fans (me included) thought we'd have trouble competing with PD's frontline?​

GO HAWKS!

Played poorly and still thrashed Rutgers on the road. Played well, especially well in the second half, and out played a ranked opponent with hostile officiating and lead by double digits most of the half and won by double digits.

I hate to say this but this squad might be really really good.

Yah, I think they're pretty damn good. Doesn't mean they can't lose one at some point. Hell, Purdue got beat by freakin' Illinois a couple of weeks ago. Figure that one out. But we have swept Mich St and Purdue in the same season. I can die with a smile.

the beauty of winning big is you can bitch about the refs with impunity. I really thought the refs were pretty good with the exception of a few truly horrendous calls.
