Bye to the bye. It was ours to lose this last week and we lost it. We need to Nebraska Wednesday so the season doesn’t end with this bad stretch. .

We lost to PSU by a point. Yes first half of that game was bad.
 
We are what our record says we are, which is not that bad, but no one is bad this year.
 
Congrats to the team for jumping up to an official Top 10 record in league at 7-13!

Much better than finishing in the basement, and literally being a bounce away from the bye is quite an accomplishment for the 15th youngest team in the nation!

Yeah, it sucks to lose that PSU and Iowa games at home ... but think how much better they’ll be next year and the year after as they gain more experience!

I expect a rocking RAC next year!

This off-season is critical. The development of the freshman 4 this year will be huge going into their sophomore seasons. Myles needs to get bigger stronger and tougher.
 
There is no shame in losing to a healthy Indiana at home, playing for the NCAA tournament, and playing their best basketball of the season.

No need for histrionics today, the better team won.

Of course the better team won, but we were still playing for seeding ourselves. While we still need to learn how to win on the road, I fully expected a competitive game today.

People can be disappointed with the last 2 games after a signature win, but that shouldn't take away the continued progress and growth of the team/program overall. Hopefully we can win a game or 2 in the B1G. As Bac says, the 2020 recruiting class is where it comes down to. Score big in it and the program takes off while a bust leads to more mediocrity.
 
I am not a basketball expert by any means and am very excited watching these kids hopefully improve over time like Eugene. But, IMO for us to be in the top 1-7 in the B10 we still need to get that kid that will be able to slash and score or consistently hit the three.

Watching UVA yesterday they have three kids that can do it all day. Hopefully with the improvement the team showed this year Pike brings in one or two of those type kids.

I remember listening to the talking heads when we beat IU a few weeks ago and them saying how they had mostly all high rated 4 stars and this year having a top 10 kid. So I cannot get too disappointed with losses like this . We just need to get those type kids to improve.
 
yep we need to increase the talent level....its better now and obviously freshmen become seniors but we need upgrades at key positions
