Young, but not very good.

The kid who made the winning shot is a Sophomore.

The Russian kid Stafl is a Freshman.

Youth didn't seem to hurt Hartford.

It seems that if Buie doesn’t go off, we have next to no chance in most of our remaining games.

Don’t say that. It’s our best chance at not going 0-fer in conference ...
No team in history has ever gone 0-21 in the B1G. NU can once again do something under Collins that has never been done before.

You really need to embrace the fact that this team is going to have A LOT of inexplicable wins and losses this year. Probably more losses than wins, but still.

They’ll run into some wins in conference play. The conference has a ton of parity but no great teams. This is a really bad team, but it’s a conference full of good-to-okay teams. They’ll steal a few

No way we go Ofer. How could you say that? We have been competitive in most of our December games.
Assuming 4 bigten wins is reasonable. But if they find a groove then maybe more.

i think that’s what I’ve been poorly trying to articulate. Becoming too dependent on Buie going off.
Buie was getting jammed hard in the middle or top of the key by Hartford, usually two guys. Shortly he will figure out that the wings are open in that situation. In fact he did get the ball out to Kopp several times. In time Beran will be the recipient of those passes.

I also thought Greer played extremely well. His hustle and ball handling put a spark in the guys.

greer - so - 20 - 2
spencer - sr - 20 - 7
beran - fr - 9 - 1
turner and jones - 0 points


kopp offset - marks and ellison (-2)
young offset stafl (-1)
buie offset carter and flowers (-1)
spencer and greer offset mitchell (even)
beran offset boxus (-1)

that left us at (-5)

if we got ANYTHING from Jones or Turner we win. If we got more than a dud of a game from nance we win. is this where we need to be - no. but i also don't think this team is trash.

i don't see this as a sky is falling situation. this team is young and has played up to their competition and down to their competition as young teams do

This pretty well sums up the team. Play MSU to a standstill and make all games they should dominate competitive.

Nance is frosh, given the amount he missed last week. I think Kopp is showing it, maybe a bit too inconsistent. All the frosh show promise.

Fun team to watch. Will be very good. Not at all a dumpster fire.

Even calling Spencer a senior deserves an asterisk. Moxie/makeup of a senior, but freshman experience. He’s like a redshirt sophomore to me.
