    You can be tall and be a point guard. Example: Magic. You can be short, lead your team in assists, and not be a point guard. Example: AI You can be tall and lead your team in ast% and not be a point guard. Example: Vlade Divac. There's levels to this. The truth is probably closer to: Our...

    Landon Davis looks like he could make a layup on a baseline inbounds pass from Brandon Paul to beat #1 IU at the buzzer.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    I've hit my alotted Loyalty research limit for the day. But it would be interesting to see that breakdown. For the record, I also expected us to be a little closer to the top when I started looking into it. I was mostly surprised though at the extremes on both ends. What is Wisconsin and...

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    I looked at games missed by players who average 10+ mpg for every team in the B1G dating back to the 2020 - 2021 season. We've faired pretty well. This isn't a perfect science. For example, I know that TSJ or Skyy Clark's missed games weren't due to injury. But I don't have that same...

    You can be fast and efficient. See Alabama. We actually started last year playing relatively fast. We were a little more aggressive about looking for fast break opportunities. But the bigger driver behind the fast tempo was taking shots earlier in the half court. Then Keaton came along and...

    A shame he's not ranked high enough. I'm sure Brad and Tyler would love to have a shooter like that in the rotation. On a more sincere note, I've thought for a while the #8th man is up for grabs and Brown should be in the mix. We know the staff values shooters. Could be lethal in this offense...

    I guess I'm in the minority but I don't know that I love the local/regional sponsor. No offense to the people at Busey. And it's a nice gesture by both parties to support local institutions. But from a branding standpoint, I'd rather have a strong national brand. Because that's what we are...

    Agree. And we really don't need any of them to be B1G All Freshman caliber or anything close to it. Just do one thing really well. Lock down D or crash the glass or stand in the corner and make threes a la Jake Davis.. What was his ranking again?

    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!
