Team is a breath of fresh air after last year. I think last year there may have been too many trees in the forest. Seemed like no one was happy with their role.

A hustle guy like Wilson blowing up is a game changer.

They're making me reconsider my TV options. I have Sling via Apple TV so I've got the ESPNs, but I may have to go with the Playstation Vue app so I can get BTN live and watch every game this year. Haven't done that since 2012-13.

Leading by 24 points at half last night, 19 points at half tonight and we were underdogs in both games!

 

This team looks pretty damn legit!

Ok. Glass half empty guy here. Remember last year when Duncan Robinson was shooting 115% from behind the arc before the B1G season started. We weren't knobbing him like we are DJ right now? Just checking cuz I'd like this year to be better than last year.

But it's easier to gameplan to stop a one-dimensional 3 point shooter, which Duncan was/is, than a 7 footer who rebounds and plays defense. Shooting can come and go, rebounding and rim protecting are more opponent invariant.

Also I think part of it is just the team as a whole looks better. Just compare our non-conference performance this year to last. I think DJ's performance is a microcosm of that.
