So we just lost to Miami. I'm starting to believe there's a chance we lose to Mizzou :(

 

Miami's good.

Some more good coaching tonight. Chester Frazier shot the big three. That always ends well. Try running the high low Bruce. That way your two best scoring options, Tisdale and Pruitt are in at the same time. Miami of Ohio at home. We are now a football school.

not miami, miami...miami of ohio.

 

 

i just hope the illini can win @ purdue on jan. 19th....my girlfriend and i are making the trip up to w. lafeyette and she is a big purdue fan...i don't want to imagine how much bull i'll have to take on the car ride home if the illini lose.

[Bruno7481]

Why is Chester Frazier allowed to shoot the ball period? Does he honestly think those 25 footers are good shots?

 

This drives me nuts and I'm an IU fan....

it's always fun watching duke lose

Miami of Ohio is even better. They have like 4 losses by a combined 7 points is it?

Does margin of victory matter if you're losing to Wright State? In Champaign that's a game Illinois simply has to have.

Rebs are 9-0, woot! Our game against Clemson tomorrow will be a good one, since they are also undefeated.

Wright State beat Butler.

 

And also lost to Marist and Valpo. We could keep doing this forever, but what it boils down to is determining how strong a mid-major Miami OH is. No matter how you divide their schedule, or their opponents' schedule, or their opponents' opponents' schedule, they aren't at the level where it's acceptable for a Big 10 team with tourney aspirations to lose to them at home.

Miami(OH) would beat Miami(Homicide) by about 20 points.

[Andy]

Miami (Ohio) over the Illini and Pitt over Duke. Good day for the two conferences I have teams in.

 

Oh, and Purdue lost to Wofford yesterday. Not a good week for the Big Ten.

[snoodmonger]

Miami (OH) is the kind of Mid-major you don't want to play because you should beat them, but they're dangerous enough to embarrass you. KU plays them Saturday, and I hope the kids are more focused than they were vs. Georgia Tech.

You guys will beat them by 20. Self saw what they did to us. Also Bill didn't take 3 years off when it came to recruiting.

clemson is, as always, playing a piss-poor OOC schedule. Ole Miss hasn't exactly run a fearsome gauntlet either.

[SouthSideRyan]

For the record, Miami isn't even the worst team we lost to. They're a better team than Maryland.

I realize which Miami it was. It was the superior one.

Texas is playing at Michigan St. tomorrow. If they can pull off wins at UCLA and Michigan St that will really help in the long run towards getting a #1 seed.

Boy do I hope UCLA meets Texas in the tourney.

 

EJ, UMFan...bring it. UCLA @ Michigan Saturday morning.

Won't matter when we clown you in Austin and then a second time in the Big XII tourney. :wink:

UM lost to Harvard.

For the record for 4 years with Self's guys Weber lost 16 games. In a year plus since he has had all Self guys he has lost 16 games. Hell bring back Lon Kruger.

They're not around right now, they're in the middle of negotiations with the WVU womans basketball coach.

Do you think we're going to be anything less than a Big 10 contender with McCamey, Bertrand, Paul, Richardson, Richmond, Davis, and Tisdale using up most minutes?

 

I understand the frustration, and this year is going to suck(next year too if we don't get Legion), but happier times are definitely on the horizon. If we didn't get those 3 huge committs(along with Simpson), then I could understand the desire to dump Bruce, but things are turning aroudn on the recruiting front, and Bruce is still a good coach.

I am worried they are going to see the product we put on the floor the next two or three years and all of them don't all end up here. That doesn't scare you at all?

I actually am not as sold on his coaching ability anymore either. His motion offense was great with 5 guys who have played or play in the NBA. But, since that time we stand around and wait for our point guard to chuck up a shot. Nice coaching. We don't have any set plays. Not one. He has not adjusted to his team at all.
