So yes we are all disappointed in tonight’s L. However after thinking about the big picture can you believe an actual blue blood program’s first team all American was obviously elated and relieved to beat us for the first time in his career in the postgame interview. We have arrived on the national scene and the talent level is going up exponentially in the next few classes. From a guy watching and hoping big Kareem Wright could take on Carmelo back in the old big east to complaining a big ten postseason individual award winner had a bad game on the road to a top 20 team and lost by 6. The best is yet to come, might not be this year but enjoy the ride.

I wouldn't put too much stock into TJD's postgame comments. While he seems a class act, Andy Katz asked him a leading question point blank about finally beating RU.

You can tell Geo at least on podcasts respects his game as does Hunter Dickinson on the Roundball podcast. Dickinson flat out says TJD is best player in league. I think that RU guys think TJD is soft in their eyes from certain comments so tonight he came to play. Game respects game and this has turned into a very odd rivalry
