On McLimans: whenever I see that 6’10″ ginger kid stand up from the bench to awkwardly applaud a UM bucket, I shudder and think, “So this is what JB considers a big man?”

Why can’t we just forget national recruiting and just take the whole Country day high school team when they graduate? We’d probably be better!

oh by the way, no more player-specific features! every time you write one, the featured player turns in a worst-of-career type performance

gpsimms – Agreed. At some point we have to stop judging the team on what we think they can do and instead judge them by what they’ve actually shown us.

And as far as last night, a lot of people have been assigning Manny blame and I agree but not because we needed him to make big plays down the stretch. We didn’t build our lead because of Manny, he was not much a factor for 35 minutes of that game. But then all the sudden the final stretch begins and everything has to go through him. And guess what, all the sudden the offense couldn’t do anything. In a game where Manny is playing his A game of course it makes sense to have him take over at the end. But this wasn’t the case last night, we abandoned what was working and we lost because of it.

I think this season can best be described with two words-missed opportunities. Last night was another one. Wisconsin played as poorly as they’re capable of playing for the first 15 minutes, but we blew chance after chance to put them away. Once again they gave us a glimmer of hope and then dropped us on our heads. Harris had his worst game of the season, Douglass and Novak couldn’t make point-blank layups, there was the requisite homecooking from the refs, and our lack of leadership was obvious late in the game. The season in a nutshell.

I’m sick of this team flirting with the chance of getting a tournament bid. I mean we could be 6-0 in the Big Ten right now. I’m so disgusted by this loss – I turned the game on when we were up 39-33 in the 2nd – I guess I should’ve left it off, maybe I jinxed us! I was excited we had the lead – till about 20 seconds later, when I knew we were going to blow it. I was trying to stay positive but it was all-too predictable. And the refereeing…I know we can’t blame the refs for losing, but that charge on Sims with 2:30ish to go was absolute HORSE$#%&, and came a pivetal moment. Biggest f&$%ing flop I’ve seen in my life – the guys is up leaning against DeShaun one second, that Sims backs up MAYBE an inch an the guy launches backwards, and they get the call – it was like the ref was waiting to call it. I think there’s something to the correllation between the officiating and the home win-streak…

Novak, ugh, 36 minutes without scoring, 0-6, and from what I’ve read several missed lay-ups?? That’s unacceptable for a starter, or any player. Manny didn’t have that great a game either but I don’t think you can place the blame squarely on him. We have to learn to CLOSE OUT! I know we still mathmatically have a chance at the tournament, but really, does anyone think we’re actually going to make it? I’d say we pretty have to 9-3 to close the season, to put us at 19-11, 12-6. Mmmmaybe 8-4, but God knows we’re not going to win the B10 tourney, so that gives us 13 losses to end the season, and I don’t know if that’ll fly. I will say that besides Michigan St, we can beat anyone in the conference, but we’re either going to have to get really lucky or start playing A LOT better, probably both.

I’ll watch the Purdue game but right now I can’t even think about it – this loss is painful and we by all means should’ve won that game. What garbage, blech…

BTW hi everybody, I’m kind of new here. Hopefully you don’t mind my rant – just had to vent a little there lol.

I can’t sleep. I can’t get over the fact that Stu, LLP, Novak, Gibson, Morris, Wright, and Vogrich COMBINED for 12 points. Seven D-1 basketball players, who all see (some limited/some substantial) playing time, 12 points.

12.
