Odd thoughts.
So you would rather roll with a 2016 type of finish rather than 2010?
And why would the 2009 loss to Carolina still sting? A close loss to Butler in 2010 would sting a lot more than getting hammered by Carolina. The Heels were the clear cut best team when healthy and motivated and everyone knew this way back in November of that season.
I see Ethan Happ did not participate in Senior Day activities.
Pathetic.
There is no harm in taking part and returning next year. This tells me he has no NBA aspirations despite the fact he would be taken in the second round. He likely will not attend any sort of camp or combine on his own dime and return if not given the right grade.
No surprise Herro turned away from that culture.

Yes I'd rather get beat by a cinderella early in the tournament over getting blown out by Duke or North Carolina in a championship game especially when that championship game was played pretty much at "Home" in Detroit. Yes that one hurt more than way more than that Butler loss. For me personally I'm tired of losing to Duke and North Carolina especially in the NCAA tournament.
I definitely disagree with him on the losing in first round versus title game.
The Heels were the best team that year, I just think many MSU fans felt like our 09 team was our best team as well. Plus it was in Detroit.
Butler game sucked too.
I hate losing to Duke/UNC too, but getting upset by a double digit seed in the first round is way worse. Come on man, it's not even close. Final Four banner vs choke?
Shoulder popped again. Can’t wait to see him with two healthy arms next year.
Kid's tough as nails. Really enjoy watching him play.
Dakota Mathias looking particularly confident using that flamethrower today.
You're playing Minnesota. Good thing Dakota shows up against the bottom of the B1G.
He shot 47.4% from three against the top half of the conference.
Sounds like you’re talking about Iowa. Thankfully they’re not smart enough to fire frantrum.
Hate to say this, but Iowa might as well lose today and have Illinois beat Rutgers. Minnesota is the best matchup out of the 3 for Iowa. Rutgers destroyed Iowa and Illinois WAS destroying Iowa before Iowa started making every God damn thing they chucked at the rim. Doesn't matter who Iowa plays 2nd round, they will get dump trucked. They might lose in the 1st round for all I know. At this point I'm just focused on having our season not end BEFORE March 1st. It can end on March 1st all it wants, but please not February 28th
LMAO, JFC. The follow up tweet is exactly what I was thinking when I saw this tweet
Huskers absolutely dominating Penn State right now. Nice to see this team get over their week of the yips.... They are built around defense and creating points in transition. They seemed to have lost that mentality in a 1-1 week vs. Illinois and Indiana.
You are playing a team that is gameplanning against three other guys before him with limited guys who can defend. The guy is a solid player. Nothing more. He could never be a number one or two.
good for him. The past two games that piglet is referencing were against teams whose combined conference win total wouldn't put them in the top half of the big. Mathias isn't special.
He isn't "special" but he's the exact kind of piece that differentiates between contending and not contending for championships. I hate Purdue and wish Dakota Mattias would get lost on his way to games, but that guy does things that help teams win basketball games. Indiana fans would compare him to Colin Hartman in 2016, before injuries completely sucked the life out of him. He played hard, shot it well, defended (Colin often as an out of position 4 or 5), and made smart basketball plays. Winning teams have guys like this often, and knowledgeable basketball fans notice.
Indiana, sixth place in the conference, where most of us IU fans thought they would be this year. Unfortunately, most of us thought the non-con would go better. Things took awhile to improve, and still looking to figure out how to close games. Still 6th with this roster is good work.
He's a 3 and D guy. Every team wants that. Doesn't mean I'm wrong for thinking that others are better and more deserving of conference honors. He is a strong role player, and I don't think that's what the conference teams are for.
If Penn State had Watkins this game would be a lot closer.
Hint: you "game plan" for a teams strengths. Newsflash! Mathias 3 point shooting is a team strength. News flash 2! Mathias is very good at other parts of the game - assists, defense, rebounds, steals. You obviously are fascinated with the bright shiny objects in a game (scoring) while being completely ignorant of the total game.
