Why are they putting 3 of the 4 games on at 7pm? I wish they had staggered starts

 

[huskersalways]

NW’s point gaurd is probably out with a knee injury. He is probably their best player.

McIntosh......no structural damage so he'll be out for a few days in all likelihood....Good smart player but slow....and does not ply defense

 

[bac2therac]

Wisconsin going to beat Indiana. This team is getting better. I actually think RU is going to have a tough time beating them given our confidence level at this point.

Big win for the Terps, though. After losing two very important players in the last few days, Turgeon is almost starting over with a brand new team. They looked and played differently tonight than they have all season. Huerter missed almost the entire first half after two fouls in the first two minutes. Looks like there'll be a lot of twin towers lineups so long as Cekovsky's bionic foot stays in one piece.

Penn State is really tough. Sophomore big Mike Watkins had 17 points and 17 rebounds! They are going to win a lot of games.

Maryland freshman center Bruno Fernando also had a double-double, with 17 and 11.

Can I quietly exit the back door?

I may need to get off the PSU train too. Researching alternative transportation.

PSU HC Chambers will also be gone.

B1G 10 HC's that will exit after this year:

- Fran McCaffrey
- Pat Chambers
- Tim Miles

Though I thought Miles several years ago was the real deal, I hope each school hires an exciting HC to reinvigorate each squad so we can become a tough conference - like several years ago and similar to what the Big East was year after year.

How about Brandon Knight to PSU? Would have mojo with NJ recruits and woujld piss Pitt off...
How about Hoiberg to Iowa? I hear he hates the NBA and would stick it to Iowa State.

Hoiberg flat out said he hates recruiting when his name came up a year or two ago. He prefers NBA.

NW with no point guard is in trouble

If we keep Happ in check, we'll be fine.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I've watched a few Northwestern home games. Not playing at Welsh-Ryan this season has really hurt the Wildcats. Playing games at the airport hangar near O'Hare has been more of a detriment than I had imagined.

Nebraska will find a way to let them come back and win it. It’s in our blood. Ha

 

[bac2therac]

Miles may save himself this year

McCaffrey signed a 4 year extension last year-------he can survive a bad season. Hasn't he made the NCAA's 3-4 times in the last 5 years ?

Miles needs a good season no doubt about it

PSU thus far looks like one of those teams that plays just well enough to lose.
