match up way better with iowaIf the game ends up having any meaning for the NCAA, we need it to be Iowa. Iowa is a top 20 NET team. Michigan, depending on how their season ends from these suspensions, could end up being outside the top 50.
Other than that, I don't really care. We probably match up better with Iowa too, actually. But I'm so...blah...right now over IU basketball, don't really care.
Game went to OT...we beat them soundly in Bloomington. Id say that its a pretty solid matchup.I find it funny that people say we “match up well” with anybody in the conference? Last night - everyone says we match up well with OSU. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is in the conference, we don’t match up well with any of them, especially on a neutral court.
My fear is that what happened weeks ago won’t mean squat at our rate of decline. I think that is exactly where we are at right now: zero confidence, no ability to close a game, boneheaded factor up during the last five games. The team cannot possibly go into these games expecting to win. We have nobody right now who wants to put the team on his back and every program has one of those guys.Game went to OT...we beat them soundly in Bloomington. Id say that its a pretty solid matchup.
Nebraska?
Penn State?
Maryland?
Minnesota?
And I think most said we matchup better with Iowa than with Michigan. That is a natural conclusion to make from our matchups with those teams a few weeks ago.

I don't think there has been a rate of decline like you think, there has been an incline in competition, say what you want about this group so far, they haven't quit, last night when they went down 12 or 13 was a helluva opportunity to do soMy fear is that what happened weeks ago won’t mean squat at our rate of decline.
