    Lipsey terrifies me, he's a lot like Jahmir Young I feel. Can score from all over and is elite in ball screen offense. He will give us fits.

    I'll say this about ISU, they like ball screen offense and have a couple of small guards that can really get downhill. The same type of guys that gave us fits in B1G play. They are good. Anyone talking about UConn is setting themselves up for a helluva nut punch. One game at a time.

    TSJ is gonna TSJ and Domask is going to Domask. Coleman might be the x-factor. Really need him to stop chirping and just play basketball. ISU is going to bump, push, and grab a lot. He needs to be mentally ready to not get calls.

    NBA Draft

    Sounds like Hawkins would benefit from coming back for another year.

    B12 seems overseeded to me. Pretty much every year. Nebraska should be a 6 seed IMO.

    Big Ten All-Conference Awards

    It makes sense to me why Hawkins didn't get the all defensive team nod. He gave up a lot of points in the paint. He probably should be guarding the opposing 4, so that's not unexpected or surprising given him playing out of position. I do think TSJ has a better gripe for not getting it. He...

    Pregame: Illinois at Iowa, Sunday, March 10th, 6:00pm CT, FS1

    I'd like to see us run more stuff for Shannon. Watching him stand in the corner on offense seems like a total waste.

    Can't see us winning in Iowa city. Probably going to be something like a 88-82 loss.

    I want to believe this. But we seem to play to the level of competition. I'm guessing it comes down to the last few possessions.

    He should have watched the film, he needs to clean up the defense. A lot. The LaTulip breakdown was awesome. Showed numerous occasions where we lacked effort and/or communication. Watching Shannon stand on the baseline and not move an inch on those inbounds plays was maddening. I get...

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    You can lay the defensive woes at the feet of the AC or Brad, or both. But I'd like to know who is in charge of subbing. Because some of the personnel decisions being made are worse than the defense. They set themselves up to fail by having lineup combinations that are truly mind boggling...

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    I can't see faulting Domask. He's been an awesome player, being asked to do way too much, due to a roster with a glaring hole. He's not a fleet-footed defender, but he covers up a ton of stuff on offense because he can just go make plays. I will say this though, I'm not sure who is in charge...

    I think Iowa scores 90-100. Perkins will get in the paint and score at the rim or spray it and they have great shooters. We will score but not enough.
