You are a bit of a negative nancy though. They have been 30 to 1 to make the final four, 80 to 1 to win the championship, in the 30's an 20's moving steadily up and on a collision course with the AP rankings. They have been giving good lines on the betting form. Even after St. John's and Purdue...

Michigan may be the best team in the country, Indiana seems to be rounding into shape. MSU looks scary outside of 1:53 drought against a top 5 team and has looked more ahead of their pace than the last few years. Purdue is just fine and top 5 again. Even Iowa is #23 in USA today. Illinois is...

They have the Indiana tape. They know we have taken down 12 top tens in IC. The coaches should anyhow. The scored 20 against Indiana and 21 against Wisconsin. I hope they don't think that they are all that. Or maybe that is a good thing. :)

I always argued around here that Fran's strength and conditioning was not as good as it could/should have been. I think we are quickly seeing the difference. I thought we would see this more than it being hard to fathom.

Will be sweet to see the lane get closed off more regularly than it had been recently.

But wait I thought if you got rid of Fran the next season would go downward, crater, be a dumpster fire etc. regardless of the new coach working out in the end? What I am looking forward to is the true hope of advancing is back. If things go to plan and no injuries or other issues and we get...

Such a sad story. RIP Megan.

We used to say "F"ix "O"r "R"epair "D"aily. :)

Conditioning is always critical. There are things like OT, injuries, foul trouble, etc. so the so deep method is usually waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like what I mentioned or one or two guys just don't come around. So you play them anyway to give rest? Give me the BM approach. Big Ten...

People stopped chasing with those things?? Don't think so but add in the technology. Changes it like tinder "dates" set up instead of going out to "that part of town" perhaps.

Great statement! It matters and contributes not only to success but it is or I guess was important to the fans. They don't care about the fans but the fans loved seeing players and a team grow and improve and take the next step as they grew into bodies and gained experience both playing together...

10-0 so far today. Looking like a sweep!

They learned they can behave like that from Gov. Walz. :)

Though what is the point if a select few miss him? There will always be that. In a few years Fran's contract would have been done and he would really be getting old. Not sure why you would miss him in a few years and Ben gets the same early grace that Fran did so not that fair to judge early...

On and on with the attendance, the apathy over and over but yet it is too soon to tell if the fans miss Fran?? I do not think the majority miss Fran or will miss him for whatever reason. Not sure where you get that. Time to move on.

No NIL, even having to sit out a year when you transfer so it wasn't the same at times even if you say some were getting under the table. We had Cinderellas that would stay together for three and four years, develop and make these runs. Now they get scouted and the players poached so those are...

I don't know about drop of a hat. Could have dropped him earlier than this year and wow did he look like a dead man walking much of the year. Plus if that is your guy you gotta go. You can't tell coach X to wait till the end of a contract and you don't hold onto a coach if it is time cause you...

Earlier before with this team of which much was expected they were 7-7 during a 14 game stretch. Then they had a good run then they have that sad loss to Richmond. That up and down is certainly the rut over the Fran tenure. Don't just pick out the good stuff then question why the apathy or why...

Look at the effect already on the tourney. Outside of SJU having two top players crap the bed against Arkansas all we have left now is 1's and 2's. So much for March Madness. Cinderella is dead.

Think it was certainly time. Don't think there will be much difference in win total next year. Not like Fran would win 25 and now we will win 11 games. Probably be within 5 games and think it won't be a losing season. Fran might have hit 20 but the apathy and game or two we shouldn't lose or...
