40 vs. IU, and 20 now...he's completely disappeared.

I'm wondering if he's hit a wall and he's just tired. If that's the case. We REALLY need to play McGary and Horford together some. I don't see why not. We used to play McGary with Morgan. Why can't he play with Horford to give GRIII so rest?

I perfectly understand...

...so sit him a little and play Horford and McGary together for 4-5 minutes a game. I'm not saying bench the kid for good...he's a very good player. But keep his legs under him.

Watford and Thomas are no joke...so it's not just dead legs, he's playing All-B1G players. But he's gotta sit a little bit so he's 100% against those guys.

This four game stretch is brutal enough.  But not playing well at home is surprising to me.  I wonder what coach has up his sleeve for the 2nd half?

Burke's having way too many wild shots. Getting your points off 33% shooting kills the team. Do what you do best, buddy. Create opportunities for your teammates and then take the open shots when you get them because the other team is expecting a pass.

This has been the game plan all along guys. The game plan is DONT FUDGE UP THE FIRST HALF!!! and we didn't. Thomas will either wear down or need a rest, we will gain points on that, and we will come out STRONG, im talking a 6 or 8 point run to start the half. It's on, don't skip the second half its going to be FUN to watch. GR3 ends up with 8 points in this half, and Burke gets rolling.

Whatever talk Beilein has with the guys during the half, I hope it works. We can't afford to go out and lay another egg against OSU, especially when they are not even as talented as us. Yeah it'd probably ruin our hopes for a Big Ten title, but more importantly in my opinion, I think we're all pretty tired of hearing about how we always lose to OSU.

Can get away from us if we lose tonight, especially with @ Wisconsin and @ State next two games. Better buckle down in second half and get this win.

I think Beilein should put Burke and Spike both out there in the second half. Let Spike run the offense and have Burke play off guard.

Every single time we play OSU Burke tries way too hard to prove to OSU that they were wrong for not taking him and every time it ends badly for us. Just play your game.
