3-2 in the Big Ten? Indiana up next, and still two games against Michigan State. This team is going to have to step it up considerably to even win the conference.
This team can be really frustrating to watch. So much talent but their offense is seriously lacking. Also, you never know what you are going to get from Buford. Just way too inconsistent. Hope I am wrong but I don’t see this team going deep in the tourney.
Also, open call out to Thad Matta: Do we really only have 5 guys that can play and score? Seriously…after last year’s recruiting class???
