Some sort of incompatability, but I fixed it. Now I am the fool since I brought up a link to something that was posted. Oh well, I had good intentions. I really like the BTN game breakdowns even if the announcer is 2 minutes ahead of the highlights. Almost makes up for not being able to see games. But not quite.

Good video of the Wright three. My take is that the three was a good look. A timeout wouldn't have helped. However, it is alot to ask Wright to make that shot though. We forget where he was in his development even a month ago. It just highlights the shortcoming of our team. I don't know who I want to take that shot at this point. Does the timeout somehow allow us to bring in a veteran shooter off the bench, because that was what was needed. The scheme was right, the personnel was not. In a year he makes that shot and Manny doesn't have the turnover. Also, I want Sims to develop faster too, but look at where he was last year. We have to keep things in perspective. The development is there from last year. Compared to last game, the development wasn't pretty but compared to last year, things are looking up.

People forget that side of it. As it happened, we pushed the ball, NW wasn't very set and Wright escaped his defender. He rushed the shot a bit, though.

Beilein distrusted Gittleson's methods so much that he took control of the BB program's S&C himself, presumably to implement something like what Barwis ran at WVU. Of course, it will be better still to have Barwis himself running the show. Barwis is the athletic department’s S&C guy (as Gittleson was), not just the football program’s.

If you think about our roster two years from now, I think it looks really good. Thus, I don't think it is unreasonable for us to think that we can compete for a Big Ten title. And if you win the Big Ten, you've got a legit shot at a #1 seed. Would anyone else like a pair of my rose colored glasses? Here is how I rationalize my prediction.

I wondered what our access is to Barwis. These twigs need to buff up. RB- I have had that same thought. I wondered what our access is to Barwis. These twigs need to buff up.

I think Beilein said they did a little of that at WV. Does anybody know if the basketball team will be using the the football team’s strength and conditioning coach to any extent?
