We've had our best player go down for a prolonged period of time recently and we didn't really skip a beat. It's an underrated element of how this staff configures and runs the offense. They'll find an advantage and exploit it even if their NPOY candidate takes a leave of absence.

You might be right. I could be high on his minutes. But mostly I just find your tolerance to error amusing. Increase mpg by 1: Just right Increase mpg by 3: Inconceivable!

Way too much? He played 30 mpg last year as a freshman. So, even if you assume 30 minutes is his absolute physical limit, we're talking about a difference of 3 minutes lol.

Can't help myself. Going to do a minutes projection. 1. Vaaks (33 mpg) QC (5 mpg) Morillo (2 mpg) 2. QC (20 mpg) Jake (10 mpg) Morillo (8 mpg) 3. Andrej (30 mpg) Jake (10 mpg) 4. Mirk (33 mpg) Z (4 mpg) 5. Tomi (28 mpg) Z (12 mpg) Here's how I got there: - Vaaks will play 30+ minutes...

Just to be clear, I calculated it a little differently. I looked at the box score of each game decided by 10 points or less and then averaged all the minutes coming from the 9th man for that game. Which, to be fair, the 7.6 minutes they got from their 9th man in close games was still more than...

It would be interesting to see whether these teams were so good because they played 9+ guys or if they played 9+ guys because they were so good. In other words, were they playing with such large leads throughout the year that they could afford to give the end of their bench more minutes...

I'd say it's all fans who attend games (primarily season ticket holders who have to up their ante every year) which is inclusive of the good fans and the quiet fans.

It's this. The part of the equation that people always overlook is that to play your bench more means your starters are going to play less. That is almost never a good thing. There are exceptions, of course.

Been saying it for years on here. The reason I believed Brad would get us to a Final Four (or one of the reasons) is because he actually stated that as a goal / expectation of himself and the program. His predecessors always had more of an "Aww shucks, we're just going to try our best and worry...

Badgers adding a Culver's logo patch to football and basketball jerseys I knew this day was coming and I hate it. Only a matter of time before our beautiful uniforms become soiled with the Jimmy John's logo or the State Farm logo or Larry Gies's face.

No wonder season ticket prices jumped again. Nothing but buy games this year.

Agree. Jake was part of our best five man lineup last year. The thing is, it's not about what Jake does, necessarily, it's about what having him on the floor allows everyone else to do. I would be so bold as to argue that every single player is better when they're on the floor with Jake. He...

Did he just say Keaton only made 65k in NIL last year?? That has to be the greatest ROI in the brief history of NIL across both sports.

Maybe. Ty was a prolific rebounder so it's a high standard. But in their respective FIBA U18 tournaments, Ty averaged 6 rebounds and Morillo averaged 9.

A little bit like Ty with less explosiveness and more craftiness offensively. Needs to get his outside shot to at least 30% though.
