Big Ten Geeks weighs in

[JournCat]

with a late, but still incisive preview ...

Since the preview mentions it, I do kind of miss the drought in a weird way. We'll never get mocked by other fans for it again, and I'll never get to spend $800 to get to Utah on a Thursday and see history made.

It also points out Brown's potential importance in fixing our longstanding problems with end-of-game situations, for which we don't have to look further than Tuesday night. I still think Brown can be a difference maker once he's 100 percent healthy. He already showed in a few games last year that he could carry the offense temporarily.

Brown doesn't add much! Heck, Gaines is Brown on steroids! I can see Gaines as a All Big Ten Frosh team!

I can see Gaines as a All Big Ten Frosh team!

Only if he learns how to shoot and quickly!!\\\

Gaines is not on roids!

Our bench needs to get going! Once they do, our team will be unstoppable! But somebody has to support our starters- especially to give Bryant and Vic a breather/rejeuvenator!
