Man, seeing those comments, regardless of where/whom they're coming from, has got me feeling a couple of things...

I remember King high school coach Sonny Cox used to complain that Efrem Winters was lifting too much once he got to Champaign. Especially squatting too much.
Speaking of King High School....attended the Centralia Holiday Tournament yesterday. Centralia defeated King 41-14.
How the mighty have fallen. Centralia led 25-3 at the half. King was scoreless in the 2nd quarter and Centralia outscored King 4-1 in the 4th quarter. Shocking how little talent King has.

I am not an expert on this issue but I do remember they bulked Efrem Winters up and he lost his shooting touch.
Efrem mostly shot dunks.

I do sort of recall he gained some weight and that might have affected his vertical jump and quickness off the floor.
AS a senior, he had his best field goal and worst free throw percentages. He also took fewer shots.

By how much will we have to beat 361st ranked Chicago State to keep from dropping in KenPom Ratings?

His minutes were starting to go to Scotty Meents. Who did actually play some in the NBA. Griffin did not.

I don’t know why we are playing such a sugar filled cupcake this late in the pre season. We can find more productive competition in our own gym with our own roster. As someone earlier pointed out, this team is so bad, no margin of victory is going to help our rankings in any poll. Students are out and who wants to pay to see a beat down?

BU seems stubborn about Tomi and Morez, going against veteran "big dudes" in the NCAA Tourney need to have more muscle in the line-up.

I believe I saw somewhere that this game is sold out?

I typically get a parking pass in advance but it says passes for lot E-14 are sold out. Do they let you pay as you enter or is that lot pass only? Other parking options if it is pass only?

I like it. Gives the coaches a last chance to increase confidence for guys like Ben and Will, a chance to play with rotations, and a chance to spread more minutes to the back of the bench and see what he’s got.

This ⬆️
I won't be going to this one for that reason. I'll post under tickets soon...if anyone wants them. Excellent handicap seats right by the B1G cameraman.

Low AP Poll sugar?
