I don't even know where to begin....I really don't....so I'm gonna keep most of my thoughts to myself until after the season BUT I'll throw a few out there:
- it's 23 games into the season. The "youth" and "lots of new moving parts" thing is long over. Iowa was without TWO STARTERS tonight!!!
- our on-court basketball IQ is seriously lacking; some of the decisions or lack thereof, down the stretch, were just mind-boggling
- We have LOST any home court advantage in B1G play, WHATSOEVER, that we had for a few years with the Geo/RJH/McConnell era....The "Trapezoid of Terror," the past 3 seasons, has become "The Trapezoid of Tameness." Here we go:
2022-23 we go 0-3 at home to close out the season
2023-24 we go 5-6 in B1G play @ home
2024-2025 3-4 with SC/Minny left
THAT'S 8-13 in our last 21 B1G games in Piscataway which, IMHO, is pathetic.
...also the crowds, for the most part, have been blah. Big, yes, but "BLAH." (again...more thoughts on this after the season)
