This is a big one. If we defend and rebound, we'll win. Schwartz is lethal, but he doesn't like to get his hands dirty/grind it out. I enjoy my occasional late-night Pac12 hoops, so I've watched him over the years at Colorado. I knew he was a great get in the portal, but he's always struggled with physical teams. Let's get after it, gentlemen.

From a guy that only watches the world cup/euro cup, and Billikens soccer, how backed up against the wall is the USMNT with that loss to Canada?

Francis. Wow.

They got a helluva PR department

Watching Loyola at SIUC… 36-33 with 3 minutes left. This has been the most unbearable basketball game I’ve ever watched.

I think we have players that deserve a green light. Yes, TJ is in a slump, but when he's on... he's ON. Also, I feel comfortable with Yuri and Deandre shooting 3's at any point. With Jnez, I would prefer him cutting to the basket and slashing than taking the shot, but he hit the most clutch shot this season, so he's got the nod from me. All 5 of these guys (Gibson, Deandre, Jnez, TJ, and Yuri) are shooting above 33%. We just need to make sure they're the ones shooting the 3's...

I mean Rhoades also lost to Wagner and Chattanooga at home... An outsider would argue Ford is doing just as well managing the uncertainty on his roster, but obviously everyone here as more gripes because we are much more invested.

Rhoades is doing a pretty incredible coaching job at VCU this year. Two key dudes out with ACLs, and he’s still got the team humming on all cylinders.

Well Williams is a shooter, not necessarily a maker. Need TJ to get back on track for these next few games. He seems like he doesn’t seem himself on the court or on the bench.

don’t really care who scores so long as we’re defending and rebounding

Also, any Bona/Schmidt believers, don’t check their score right now. Just check after this game, they may go on a crazy run to finish the game.

Gibson is dominant. Shoot it every possession, please.

Every non power 5 (and maybe even a school in Columbia) is licking their chops with Chris Mack on the outs. He clearly didn't have the expected success at Louisville, but the guy can coach.

Well, time to refinance... lmao, glad I don't live in a legal state or have a bookie.

Put the mortgage on Auburn -12.5 at Mizzou

it was hilarious... and Travis' death stare was classic, too. Just a freshman being a freshman.

If the bills prioritize defense and rebounding, watch out.

Courtney stuffing the stats sheet. Rebound, bucket, and nice hard foul.

An 80%+ healthy Linssen changes our offense.

The defense. The energy. Perfection.

Not wrong. Good points - everything is there for him to turn the corner. I think he’s got til end of next season to prove he can before the ice thins. I have faith but a few of these losses over the last year have stung a lot.

This team is putting together a similar season to the one that “stumbled” into the NCAA. Would anyone be upset if we “stumbled” into another one this year?

I hate refs, it’s in my being (see name). He has a point and so do you. Appreciate the kind words tho, sir. You as well.

It was spectacular

Oh I agree. It shouldn’t have been where it was. But that was a variable that didn’t go our way looking at the stat sheet. The main, glaring, difference.
