Most scoopers drink heavily during games this season. A week off is a chance to sober up.

Tend to as many nagging injuries as possible.
Use the time to drill down on defensive assignments, help, rotations.

Doing that so when I land Thursday I can deal with the 60-70 degree weather difference and can battle through the dangerous wasteland of downtown MKE #pray

I hope the 14 projected scholarship players for next season feel the same way.

I'd be shocked if he's not back.

And to think I used to dread a week off.

8 or 9 more games like yesterday and we are on the bubble?

Quote from: tower912 on February 01, 2026, 02:20:02 PMI am enjoying watching the sausage being made, the growth, the becoming.  Adversity reveals character and gives us all a chance to be better.

I enjoy Big East championships more.

I hope James Jr. feels the same way.

You have said it many times on scoop, as I have to anyone outside of scoop willing to listen-he made it very clear what he would do once elected. But even I have to admit that the extent is beyond what I thought would be a "worst case" scenario.

Wagler, the Frosh on Illinois, is super impressive.  He might be rail thin, but the kid can seriously ball.  When the game was in the balance midway through the 2H, they basically just gave him the rock and let him go to work.
