PSU beating IL at Champaign – bad for us.
If PSU pulls it off. Go Illini!

Looking through the Detroit All-Decade team I was struck by some of the guys we missed on. I know you can’t get everybody, but can anyone with a better historical perspective explain how in the hell George Gervin ended up in Ypsilanti instead of Ann Arbor? Grades? Not enough basketballs to go around?

I think JB says the biggest improvement in his “process” is between the second and third years….next year will be the year…especially the second half….but, back to this year….

Dave: Maybe not the year after a 10-22 season?

im sick of us settling and hoping that we may sneak in…….when does the time come when we are going to be in 2 weeks ago…….when does the consistent play every game begin……when do we say that 9-9 in the conference is not good enough……when can we play and win on the road…….real soon lets hope

On the plus minus thing-I did not see the point of it. But I am thinking I was wrong-Dylan did not the plus/minus predict the rise of CJ Lee.

I can’t help but feel like most of the bracket projections out there put excess emphasis on last 10 games. As a result, teams like Michigan are at the whim of the scheduling computer. While we’re playing Minnesota twice down the stretch, Wisconsin is playing Indiana without Devan Dumes twice.

In any case, Iowa is still a must win, if for no other reason than you have to be able to beat teams outside the Top 100, even on the road.

If we do get to that 9-9, you’d hope that the Selection Committee would consider us to be a little “hot” having won 4 straight. Add to that the almost certainty that teams like Miami, Kansas State, USC, and at least 2 Mountain West teams will collapse down the stretch and I think we’ll make it.

Once again, as far the Big Ten tournament is concerned, it is absolutely necessary that we draw a seed that has us avoiding MSU and OSU in the first 2 rounds.

I still believe that 9-9 in the B10 gets us in. So, I’ll take any combination of 3 wins from the remaining games.

That said, the game I think we have no chance of winning is at Wisconsin. The game I think we have in the bag is this Thursday, home against Minny.
