Granted it was because Dylan was sick, but you can't lose at home to Wisconsin. Combine that with the KSU and Princeton losses and the hole is just too big. How do we make up those 3 losses and finish strong when we have Michigan twice and a whole bunch of road games? Stealing the next two away games at Nebraska and PSU would make up for two of those losses, but that's a huge ask.
I would love for this to not age well but just look at our remaining schedule. It's brutal.
Any miracle run is going to require not only defending home court rest of the season, but winning a bunch of road games
Nebraska and PSU are winnable... let's go on a run. A young talented team with momentum and confidence is dangerous
Dylan is only getting healthier and we know what he can do
Ace has becomes a much better rebounder and defender. His shot selection last night was the best all season
Grants and Acuff with bigger roles changes team dynamics
Lathan much improved post defense and intensity. Rebounding much better as well
Almost impossible for the role players in general to play as bad as they did during the losing streak
Under control JWill off the bench. Much better when he isnt forcing it. Like many of the players, pick your spots
