I don’t think it’s a coincidence that other guys have started playing better. Teams are sending hard doubles/traps to Luka now and guys are being left wide open.
I also don't think it is a coincidence that Wieskamp was playing great and right when Fredrick goes down he is in the shitter. Teams have gone all out to defend him tight.
What a huge win though. If you lose that game, you are 9-7 and facing down Michigan State on the road and a tough Penn State team to try and not sink to the 8 or 9 seed in the BTT.
Now they are 10-6, alone in 3rd place and heading into a game against Michigan State where you can play loose. They likely get Fredrick back as well.
Win that game and you set yourself up in a situation where you control your own destiny for 2nd place.
More fun to win than lose, boyz!
