Joe looked phenomenal tonight. We get that joe every game and look out! Pat also looked pretty good and had the game winning block

Simply put, every guy who played, played well. Not a weak link in the bunch.

I thought having that end was actually good for the team. I caught just the last few minutes of the game and I think getting down then pushing through for the win will give these guys a lot of confidence.

This is a young team their will be growing pains. This going to fun no one gives a chance to be top half in the big ten but look out we are here

wut

Just watch

Obviously, you know very little about basketball.

I wouldn't say that's incorrect tbh

 

[Franisdaman]

It was cool seeing him and Joey T embrace after the win, knowing Joey T bailed him out...

seems like this team has really good chemistry

And I’m looking forward to watching Cockburn and Edey try to guard Keegan at 25 feet. They will be forced to play zone. If we’re hitting threes we’ve got a shot

Can't speak for Illinois, but i feel comfortable saying Purdue will play 40 minutes of man to man.

3 rebounds all game for our big? No bueno to me. Can't buy a ft. Better step it up Friday.
Lucky pmac was there to bail him out!

Lol.

Physical teams with good big men will give us fits. Watching Purdue and Ohio State would be examples. Haven't watched the other teams.

And Mackey Arena has been a House of Horrors for the Hawks

is capable of competing. I know the Big Ten is a grinder but they have the depth and defense to hang with most teams. Joe T was fabulous tonight. I also really like Perkins and Ulis off the bench. This could be a better year than most predicted.

Rebraca needs to hit free throws but other than that, it’s pretty damn good.

and 10 days later this still could be a good season

This team is like every other Fran team. Mentally weak and have no grit when shit hits the fan. Garza's toughness hid the problem a bit. Now the band aid is off and we're bleeding, bad. No post scoring threat or ability to defend the post. He starts Grandpa instead of Perkins. Poor effort on boxing out so we're killed on the boards every night. Team defense stinks. And Barta gave him an extension last year...

Back to the basics and refocus ...
