Holy shit this team is playing its way out of the tournament ... 2-5 and going 2-6 in B1G standings this weekend to the bottom of the league.  Playing this bad the team will struggle to beat Nebraska and Northwestern, home or away.  Right now the season is on a crash and burn trajectory.  Too late for Livers to save the day as he won't be in game shape for 3-4 weeks.

Turn out the lights. Just hope that recruiting class pays off next season. Juwan could be in over his head.

This team has potential to look REALLY bad at times. Some lineups are like Dejulius, Brooks, Wagner, Johns, and Davis. That IS a bottom of the BIG lineup. Howard has a lot of coaching to do.

Wagner needs to drive the ball more and use his length/height to get to the line. ESPECIALLY AT HOME where the refs are more likely to blow a whistle. He is now under 30% shooting from 3 on the season. He isn't good enough to be just a 3pt shooter at this time

Zavier Simpson needs to shoot less. 18 shots is ridiculous. I know you can blame the players around him for this but I would rather Brooks take 18 shots than Simpson. Id rather Teske take 18 shots than Simpson. This is like his 4th game with 14 shots or more. He just isn't good enough at scoring to take that many shots

This offense revolves way too much around Simpson. He pounds the air out of the ball. Its just an ugly style of offense
