I still think Rutgers might be the best team in the big ten. Beating them twice would be a big deal.

I dislike Patrick's play as much as most of us, but I'd love to see him back with the 2nd unit.

As long as it doesn't take too many minutes away from Sandfart and Dix, which I know is wishful thinking.

Hopefully Fran limits his minutes. Would be nice for some depth.

Bonner, I like ya, but 1 is an aberration, 2 sparks concern, and 3 is a losing streak. We’ll have to rethink your game thread posting abilities if things don’t go our way tomorrow.

Im not only rooting for the Hawks. I’m rooting for you, Bonner.

Mulvey’s truffle shuffle after Connor’s three may be the highlight of the game.

Rutgers is good. Sweeping them is kind of a big deal
LOL, your love of Rutgers is only rivaled by your love of Tim Miles. They are a slightly above average team and both are good wins but acting like they are the best team in the Big Ten is retarded.

Dix doesn’t play enough. He had that bad pass, but he just plays under control. Had a chance to take a 3 in transition in the first half and wisely just held up.

Hopefully this is the Ulis going forward.

I’m warming to the Dix love. Dix should be in for more minutes.

scooped, leaving it

I never would have guessed Dix would be better than Bowen at this point. His shooting and handling are just what this team needs.

Swept Rutgers and beat Indiana. Lost to Ohio State and Nebrantska. This team is an adventure.

Out of 17 players combined that played any minutes in this game for both teams, Patrick was the only player without a personal foul. 😂

The defense in the middle of the second half was so bad. Patrick hit back to back 3s and the lead shrunk.

That was an impressive win especially considering they started the game playing like a cancer.

They’re top 20 in the NET, KenPom, Sagarin, BPI.
Sure, sounds about right but I was addressing @BBK saying they're probably best in the big ten. Although beebs rewatches the Scarlett Knights 24-48 hours after he knows the outcome of the game so I guess I should value his opinion more than most.

Obviously that's silly given Purdue, but they're probably a top 2-3 Big Ten team this year.

I don't think so. I think Purdue has been fortunate and is a bit overrated. They were better last year.

And Rutgers beat them at their place.

Crossing my fingers that Rutgers ends up in Iowa's half of the BTT bracket.

Something about that matchup makes the Hawks love shitting all over that great defensive efficiency of theirs - so far this season, at least.

Top 20 is much better than “slightly above average “.
I call anyone in the 7-10 seed range slightly above average from a national perspective. The Big Ten has about 9 of those types of teams. None of them including Rutgers are close to Purdue which was the original point.
