He's too damn whiny and doesn't man up and control a game. He needs to be dominant and ask for the ball. He's tall and lankey but needs to put on some weight so he can use his body to gain pos ...

Since there always seems to be a problem getting the right combinations on the floor, I suggest he run it like a hockey team and have 3 'lines' that sub in and out. This would keep it simpler for Coach and his ...

I have been a staunch defender of Weber but I think the way things have started to fall apart here, it gets closer and closer to him being fired by season's end. We have a tough schedule le ...

However, that is getting really hard. How can we play Mizzou to the wire, beat OSU and MSU, and then lose to NW and Penn State? The blame, as I said, ...

With 7 to play, 3 @home and 4 on the road, I don't see us winning more than 3, if even 3. If we are *fortunate* enough to win 3 more would put us at 19-12 (8-10). Not sure that will be good enough to make the tour ...

But what really bothers me is...did anyone see Bruce Weber complain once? Does somone need to tell him that part of coaching is to get in the ref's face to try to influence the flow of the game? Perception is reality Brucie. The soo ...

Please save the University any further embarrassment, and just step down. The kids and fans all deserve better. Yet another disappointing loss in a game we should have won and you guessed it. We get the same old 'the kids battled hard' sp ...

So, where was this sense of urgency during the game today? I felt like they were going through the motions. Th ...

All three were very winable and the team just couldn't get it done down the stretch. Think about how differently we would feel about this team if we had found a way to get those three and moved to 18- ...

The Michigan St. win was a well-needed win for these guys b/c I think if they lost that close game, it could've really caused chaos in terms of a domino effect for the rest of the year. ...

When is the last time a Kansas or North Carolina coached team lost a game like this... With a guy driving to the hoop with 4 seconds left... Down 3...gets fouled. Would a top tier ...

I can't figure it out. They have talent there, it cannot be denied, but they have no consistency, and no ability to follow up after a big win, or grit games out.

CBS has a bracket with Ilini as a 2 seed. I get scared when the media start to overvalue a good start. Don't get me wrong it would be awesome if it happened. We have had a favora ...
