Hummell plans to only play every other game… He didn’t play last night and if he keeps up the pattern that means he wouldn’t play against Michigan….

I see winnable games in the next 6 Big Ten games. Either road games against beatable teams or home games against the top Big Ten teams. Even the next game, at Wisconsin, looks a lot easier than it did two weeks ago.

The team has struggled, but I just have enough faith in Beilein that the team won’t head in the wrong direction throughout the rest of the season. Last year’s team picked it up at the end of the year. I’m taking that as an indication it can happen again this year.

I can see 5-3 over the rest of the Big Ten season. Last year we ended the Big Ten season at 4-4 over our last eight games.

jovohn seems to come up wiith big plays i have noticed when needed and i have said this before is probably the most athletic person on the team…….he definitely needs to be at the 4 and let zach wander a bit more for 3s since hes our best three point shooter at this point…….thats for raiderfan and has for Tom i have said this many many times that we need versatility not just an inside presence…..we obviously need more than just 3 pt shooters and a inside game……..we need mid range gamers as well as people who can consistently get into the lane and makes plays and create some stuff and we need that real bad

I am beginning to think that if a team needs 3′s to drop to win, it is in rough shape. It’s like a football team that has no running game and passes all the time….. We need an inside game for future success….

Does anyone think Shep will get pt with Novak back in the lineup? Why is it that JB thinks Novak is a 4? Am I the only one that thinks Shep was a huge reason to our early season success?

Thinking back over the season so far, the only game I really thought we’d win, but we lost, was the OSU game at Crisler. That hurt.

We CAN win the game vs. PSU tomorrow.

If this team can beat Duke, they can beat anybody at home. We need 3s to drop!

If we can finish ahead of Wisconsin and Northwestern in the standings, we would be in good shape for the Big Ten tournament. As a 7 seed, we’d face Iowa in the 1st round and either Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue, or Penn State in the 2nd round. That’s our best shot at 2 wins in the Big Ten tournament as it helps us avoid Wisconsin and Ohio State.

Yeah. Especially the sweep by OSU. Is Lighty ever coming back?

Yup, it is a “must win” because those couple “it would be very helpful to win” games went the wrong way…
