Sparty is serious

[BigErnMcCracken]

Currently bending #5 Notre Dame over, up 21 with 2 minutes left in the first half.

 

[Nebraskan18]

Yeah Huskers play them on Sunday, gonna be brutal.

 

[Jaker]

Yeah, they are good. Their best game is better then everyone elses.

 

[krinklecut]

Makes our half agains them look a lot better - and the Arkansas and Columbia a lot weirder.

 

[awfuldan]

Thank god someone is going to be able to stand up to Duke this year. Cant let Grayson Allen get bookend National Chamionships.

 

[UConnDan97]

Even more evidence as to why I think the majority of this fanbase has lost their minds...

Agree, though did you see Allen against MSU? I hated being impressed.

 

[Guapo]

Conference game already?

 

[Bomber36]

This game makes me think folks are freaking out to soon. Every team has some stinkers. By the way....we were putrid in the first half last night, but outscored Columbia by 15 the rest of the way. Too early to be hitting the panic button.

Yeah look at the huskers next 4 games and try not to cry

They scored 27 points in the 1st half of that game to uconn s 25.

So what's more plausible, msu had a terrible half and uconn played how they've played every half before and after, or uconn made MSU look bad?

I guess that depends if you're on the boneyard or not.

 

[Guapo]

I'm crying...

Out of jealousy

 

[nomar]

I'm crying...

Out of jealousy

So am I...but...remember we have three titles since they won one last.

 

[8893]

But @superjohn said they weren’t that good. Typical Izzo team.

 

[intlzncster]

Helps the RPI? That's all I got.

 

[8893]

I’ve got no problem rooting for them and Izzo when we are not playing them.

By Dec 30th we will have played Cuse, Nova and Wichita State, so that’s just 1 month from now. Should those games go badly will that be the right time for the button?

Yes....but let’s see what happens first.

And if we win all three, what happens to the button? Do we throw it over the Mansfield Hollow Dam?

 

[Balker]

Everyone back on the Ollie train now?

 

[UConnDan97]

Everyone back on the Ollie train now?

I never got off of it...

If we win all three? One would be an achievement.
Here is reality. What good team sees us on the schedule now and has any qualms about facing us? Not that we can't pull off a good win or two, but it's been a few years since we worried many teams. Beating a good team is falling into upset territory. KO gets this year to show a better product. Meaning at least a top four in the league which up and down the league is no match for the Big East we played in. If he can't do that, he's had enough time to show what he can do. I think lot's of folks would be looking at him far differently had Brimah not saved us against St. Joes. That team was erratic throughout the season, but, to Ollie's credit, played very well, especially on D, the rest of the tournament. I'll give KO credit when it looks like he's gotten the team to play consistent, energetic team ball on a regular basis. Losing to a better team is one thing, Playing disorganized is another.

There is absolutely no chance we beat Nova in December.

Good, at least we'll have a chance in January.
