First two priorities in the portal will be replacing Coleman and TJ/Finding your next Domask.
Next Domask = Goode. Seeing him taking it to basket, rebounding and playing pretty good defense. Won’t match booty ball but may match scoring.First two priorities in the portal will be replacing Coleman and TJ/Finding your next Domask.
Goode is not the next Domask. They will get a replacement for all 3 of those guys in the portal and then build around the young guysNext Domask = Goode. Seeing him taking it to basket, rebounding and playing pretty good defense. Won’t match booty ball but may match scoring.
Are there any reports of Buck’s progression? Think he can do some scoring on fast breaks. Seems as fast as TJ, just not as physical. However need him to be somewhat of a three point threat.
And additional Quad 1 opportunities to really pad our stats in that department, such as at Iowa and at MSU. Heck, as of today we just picked up another Quad 1 win last night!The season ain't over, friend. Still some Q1 wins available plus games against Purdue and Wisconsin that would be marquee wins.

Those are mutually exclusive and neither the staff nor the fans should have any delusion about that.Goode is not the next Domask. They will get a replacement for all 3 of those guys in the portal and then build around the young guys
I watched last night's OSU game pretty closely, and I centered my attention on Goode when he was in the game.Next Domask = Goode. Seeing him taking it to basket, rebounding and playing pretty good defense. Won’t match booty ball but may match scoring.

Ten games down. Ten to go. 7-3 at the midway point. Lots of tough road games lie ahead, plus Purdue at home.
** 9-1 in the second half (16-4 overall) should earn us a share of the Big10 title, as long as we beat both Wisky and the Boilers. #2 seed in the Big Dance.
** 6-4 in the second half (13-7) should still get us a double-bye in the BTT. #5 seed in the Big Dance.

Quick follow-up on this for Big Ten weekend games:Now that this awesome website has made all college hoops ratings available, I thought it would be fun to revisit which Big Ten teams have drawn the best so far. Below is average viewers overall for each Big Ten team. Keep in mind there were some early season Big Ten games that REALLY drag everyone's average down, and I am frankly too lazy to go in and cherry pick them out for "better data," haha. As a funny example, only 38k watched Maryland play UMBC on BTN, and 19k watched St. Francis (PA) at Penn State, lol. On the flip side, one massive result (e.g., MSU/Arizona drawing 5.2 million on FOX) can REALLY push things up.

Anyway, just for fun. I am also quite positive Illini/Indiana on FOX last weekend will have a very good rating, but that information is not out quite yet.
I know the schedules are not entirely balanced, but with TSJ back and HOPEFULLY turning the corner once again after putting OSU away on the road, I look at it like this:Ten games down. Ten to go. 7-3 at the midway point. Lots of tough road games lie ahead, plus Purdue at home.

Might. Doubt it gets accepted though.Are we not going by to try to get a redshirt waiver for his sophomore season?
It's the same problem as with Tommy DeVito, the year that was cut short by injury was a "free" year that isn't counting against his eligibility anyway.Might. Doubt it gets accepted though.
Ty/Buck will remove it for the other team, yes.Are they removing the 3 point line next year?
lol, Goode and Domask aren’t remotely similar players. The only reason the two would ever be compared is they’re both white.Next Domask = Goode. Seeing him taking it to basket, rebounding and playing pretty good defense. Won’t match booty ball but may match scoring.
Are there any reports of Buck’s progression? Think he can do some scoring on fast breaks. Seems as fast as TJ, just not as physical. However need him to be somewhat of a three point threat.
What is the projected role for Goode next year? Similar to this year minutes-wise?Goode is not the next Domask. They will get a replacement for all 3 of those guys in the portal and then build around the young guys
Having games on Peacock ......... makes me angry......Ten games down. Ten to go. 7-3 at the midway point. Lots of tough road games lie ahead, plus Purdue at home.

Sencire is fast. His problem is converting the layup at the end of the drive. Also hitting free throws (20% last year).There isn't anyone as fast as TJ....the kid is faster with the ball in his hands than most people are without.
