Was thinking the same thing. Definitely not in the B1G Tournament. The reward definitely not worth the risk.Sorry if Chicken Little...
Do not play Morez until his wrist is FULLY healed - even if next year
He is a difference maker but don't want him to ruin his career.
Wrist injury is nothing to monkey with.
No regrets. You'll be glad you were there. After going to NYC last Saturday and sitting through that disemboweling, our enthusiasm about making the drive to AA for yesterday's game dipped a bit.
If you add gummies to your prayers we could be good through the Final Four.
Didn’t TKR hit a few last year when they beat us at Mackey? I remember TKR went bonkers on us.

My brother the Purdue alum said TKR was 8-24 last year but only 3-7 this year. So much lower volume on a lot higher usage.

My wrist started bothering me when I was 29. In fact what I noticed first was when I was doing heavy bench it quit flexing back 90 degrees like my right one. It then started hurting when I bumped on something or sometimes playing basketball. I went to doctor for something else and asked him to check out my wrist while there. He poked it just under my thumb and I nearly jumped out of the chair. He snickered at me and said ya you got a broken bone there most likely your scaffoid. Went to specialist who confirmed it and said it was an old break that never healed. Said it wasn't uncommon and that is usually due to falling or punching something. Have no idea how I did it. Could have been high school football or work related years later. I went as long as I could before having surgery. Approximately 2 years from when it first started bothering me. I can have a high tolerance for pain at times. They put a screw in it and made it usable. Strength returned but never got back full range of motion. Only those who know the specifics of Morezs wrist injury know what is or isn't ok for him to do.Sorry if Chicken Little...

Is Morez truly that far along with recovery?
Simple math suggests that we are Much better off shooting two’s - when we shoot twos at a high clip we are tough to beat. Hopefully that continues versus Purdue and we don’t get 3 happy
tough to do when you're asking to turn down wide open shots with no one within 7 feet, totally unguarded.
>15 ORB, <10 TOs , and >30 3PA. Everything else will fall into place. And I expect that.
I said the same thing to somebody recently. Actually, many of the games I have been watching, the refs seem to be allowing more go than they did earlier in the year. But, they still waste too much time on reviews (that's a different thread).
I kept waiting to see if we would double Goldin and we didn't so we could guard everyboidy else. The results proved it worked. Plus having Kylan guard Wolf or Tschetter (sp?) was a great strategy I didn't see coming.
Respectfully disagree. This backing down...and backing down...and, more of it is what gets Tomi into foul trouble. The hard double can cause turnovers. You gotta make the guy pick the ball up. Domask made a living doing the backing down thing; teams didn't double him, so he had all the time in the world.
How do you explain Michigan State shooting 555 threes, to the Illini's 909, and also having a record of 24-5 (15-3 B1G)? They also depend on ORBs, and shoot 3s at an even lower percentage than the Illini. They have realized that they score less on each 3 attempted than on each 2 attempted, and focus on the higher scoring option. The Illini score around .2 more points for every 2 they take than for every 3 they take also. Illini .92 points per 3 taken, 1.15 per 2 taken. MSU 1.03 per 3 taken, 1.17 per 2 taken. If you check, nearly all of the top teams have this balance of both 2s and 3s averaging more than 1 point per shot taken.
I agree that we get a lot of really open looks. But is it me, or do we almost never seem to get them "in rhythm"? You know, the shots where (beat) the guy steps to the line and receives the pass (beat) rises and shoots (beat) and ... (you don't even need to look, it's going in). It seems like our opponents get one or two a game, and we just don't get them. Maybe it's just a matter of my expectations. Or is it something about our shooter's preparation, or the passes not being delivered to the right spot?
I'm going to disagree with you a bit here. Just to be a 50th percentile NCAA team, you need to average around 1.069ppp. Including possessions lost due to turnovers and extra possessions gained due to offensive rebounding as well as including free throws, that roughly translates to needing to shoot 51.0% from 2 and 34.0% from 3 just to be around the 180th team in the country offensively. To be an elite offensive team (Top 25) this year though, you need to average at least 1.186ppp which roughly translates to 56.6% from 2 or 37.7% from 3.
