No NCAA. Minny game was killer. And Michigan is lousy matchup for us. Their guards will kill us.
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised there still is a chance.
Sadly he's right. Before the Northwestern loss I laughed at his incompetent posts. Now, I'm not so sure. We choked. We failed. Pike, as much as I love him, FAILED miserably down the stretch. Eff defense, when you CAN'T SCORE.

Michigan has guys that can put the orange ball in the orange cylinder
Michigan basically has our number in every sport and has all too often put the daggger in. I’m unfortunately feeling like this will be another example.
Michigan is going to paste this team.

They smoked us without jett howard too. They will have him thursday
The defense isn’t all that great right now either. Caleb can defend, Cliff will intimidate a little down low, and Cam can defend slow players. Not much else there right now. Paul, Simpson, and Hyatt can’t defend anyone. Teams do miss a lot of shots (both open and not) against us though.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I have no respect for Eugene but he might be right about Pike.
Yeah we’re not beating Michigan. They have ten times more talent than we do, and we’re in a humongous tailspin to boot.
I’m sure some will convince themselves that this team will somehow pull a rabbit out of their hat and win this game, just like they convinced themselves tonight.
Not going to happen.
Not going to happen.
I realize it's complete body of work, but last ten have been brutal. Hard to see us taking the spot over someone playing their way in so to speak.
Team has NIT written all over them

right about what? I watched him in garbage time Friday against the Cavs. still a flopper and not good.
I doubt we beat Mich but if we do I think we are in, 19-14 with OSU asterisk, not expected to beat Purdue. Mich out with a loss to us, they would be 17-15.
During March Madness in 2021, he said something like he got his game really elevated at Oregon and learned a lot of things that he couldn’t learn under Pike.
Yep and seriously how many clinchers should one team get a shot at? We need to win this game and if we don’t it is what it is. We have better offensive players on the way thankfully

In so many words be basically said pike is clueless on offense. He said something along the lines of, “pike didnt really put me in position to succeed or utilize me properly and i was actually developed at Oregon”. Im paraphrasing but it was along those lines
He said he learned things he didn’t learn not that he couldn’t learn under pike. It’s ironic because pike made him a decent player that came in as a project.
It's over. It was over when that buzzer beater at the Minnesota Barn happened.
Just deflated as a fan - can't even think about Michigan right now. Past 72 hours were killer.
Of course it’s gotta be Michigan to officially end our season. Team has owned us since joining the big ten and see no reason to expect anything besides more of the same Thursday. Hopefully I get proven wrong
Indeed. This team DID accomplish some meaningful stuff early/ mid season
Obviously if they get in it will be 100% based on that.
Well if he said that…then even you would have to disagree because he surely was developed by Pikiell.
Remember you always said he was a project and could barely even dribble the ball when he came in here. That’s not what he was when he went to Oregon and you know it.
Eugene only cared about himself are we really talking about that dude right now?
