MSU, Minny, Johnson at Purdue. Aside from those few, I don't see a lot of powerful front lines. Not to say we don't have a big problem there, but I think it's not an impossible situation. Understand the frosh are going to be up and down, but when we have Tis in foul trouble and Davis basically MIA, we're not a good team. Maybe this game was our Providence? ;-) I think you’re selling Thompkins (#24 in the class of 2008) a bit short, I don’t see many bigs of his caliber in the B10. MSU, Minny, Johnson at Purdue.
