This is why I can't stand the coaching in my kiddos league.... Like, if they don't understand how to play man defense yet (spoiler alert, they don't) what are you even thinking by spending time on zone concepts? It only gets wins at that level because 9 year olds aren't going to shoot you into oblivion.
Anyone know what's going on with Tominaga? He points and minutes have been dropping off quite a bit over the last several games. Just 18 minutes and 2 points against Wisconsin
The ugliest floor in NCAA. Coming soon to a conference near you.careful for what you wish for....
They're saving him up to go off on us tomorrow . . .

I tried to watch a game there last year and turned it off after 10 minutes .......waited for custodians to sweep the floor till I figured it out.....hideous looking court......

Illinois Loyalty will be blaming picture on poor reception from Peacock.

It's the first macro-scale Rorschach test in college basketball history. I see... chaos and despair in both the low and high posts. Gives fresh meaning to "camping out in the paint."

as a lover of hardwood flooring, watching Oregon games gives me anxiety because all I see are water stains

And every other year we get that Tennessee orange floor. My eyes still hurt from that game and i am colorblind.

We’d have to go 9-1 to give us an “excellent” shot, but that would be a 16-4 Big Ten record. We won it at 15-5 just two seasons ago. It’s fair to say that might have been an unusual case (I haven’t looked into the history), but it does seem like somewhat of a crazy year in-conference?
Definitely want to get to 16-4 to feel confident!

He's saving it up for his Game of a Lifetime vs Illinois. Because Illinois.
Thanks, I didn't hear that on my presser re-watch. Can you point me to where he talks about it?
Last 3 minutes of the half vs IU there are multiple possessions where hawk, goode and domask all have man responsibilities, but are also sagging off and guarding the paint with no offensive players present. They also backfill each other in the paint. It's a nice stretch for us and helped us get a cushion before half. I'll just call it post zone switching man from now on unless you or Brad have a better name.

I respectfully differ: that event will materialize via Izzo's son a week from today. That would be Peak Illinois. Can't imagine anything more demoralizing.

To be honest, I find the tree design less disturbing than the strange center court tribute to their benefactor’s son. Just not the place.
Getting sonned two games in a row? First by Hoiberg junior then by Izzo's adopted son who is some how shorter than his father.I respectfully differ: that event will materialize via Izzo's son a week from today. That would be Peak Illinois. Can't imagine anything more demoralizing.
Izzo is clearly a diminutive Dark Elf. His clan was cursed ages ago by the Evil Witch Of The Michigan Wood. Duh.

His teams couldn’t play man because all they practiced was zone
