He did put the main loudmouth in his place once during the interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 We play Purdue next week, is anyone looking forward to that game? Genuinely would love to hear from even one person who is excited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely would love to hear from even one person who is excited for it. I’ve quit going and have started scheduling work without scheduling around the reminder of this seasons schedule. I’ll be in Boulder meeting with an investment group. I’ll probably do like today and just check in towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I’m really looking forward to possibly finishing 11th in the B1G and losing to MI in the first game of the BTT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdug Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 The scary thing is that home vs Penn State was by far the easiest game we had left. There’s a chance we’re underdogs in every remaining game on the schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse as of now it looks like our hopes for next year are tied to the portal. That’s kind of a 50/50 proposition to me. @5fouls has made some good posts about reliance on the portal that I agree with. We just don’t seem to have any other options for next year with only one player committed. Plus if the staff is feeling any heat at all, they aren’t going to want to roll into next year with a bunch of unproven freshmen that need time to develop. They will be looking for win now guys. This off season is going to be fascinating to watch unfold. The portal threads in the recruiting forum have the potential to be epic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most analytics will give a win probability for each game. So if we’re given a 40% chance of winning 3 straight games, we won’t be predicted to win any of them individually, but collectively we’d be expected to win one. So that’d be how we’re underdogs in the remaining games, but still expected to pick up a few wins. The home games vs Nebraska and Northwestern are probably our best chances for a win, but I think we matchup terribly with both. And agreed, it’s tough to be hopeful that things will be better next year. It feels like there needs to be some fundamental changes with Woodson’s system, but it’s hard to see any signs that he’ll make the needed changes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most concerning thing to me. Effort on defense, rebounding, and going for loose balls. Just a general lack of energy by the team and coaches. I'm not sure that's correctable at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you get a lead guard who can start, what if he gets hurt? Then you’re looking at this year’s backcourt again. Point guard, shooting guard and combo guard, please. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I think an interesting note with Leal playing more is that in the Iowa game Leal and Galloway combined for 14 rebounds and last night they combined for 12. In both games we outrebounded our opponents. It takes so much pressure off both the defense and offense when you hold teams to just 1 shot. Something to keep watching as Leal most likely continues to play more. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Scheduling question. After our Purdue game we have another 8 days off. Maybe it's just me but I feel like this will be our 3rd stretch of the season with a full week off. Is everyone else in Big 10 like this? I know it's random just curious.

I hate the long breaks in conference season. I like to keep momentum rolling, or have a short time to get back at it after a bad loss. It was great for them to have a short turnaround after last Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he has a great mind for business and already has his career started. I'd love to have another year with him in whatever role the team needs.
