Would you take that year right now for us next year?

sandfort was first team all big ten last year returning. Although id 100% take the field over him for the actual award. Would be as wide open a race heading into the year as ever.

Andre playing 30-35 minutes as not a good shooter likely limits how much you could play him on a given night. Even if he was better than Jake, the gravity Jake brings to open things up for everyone else and everything we do on offense. He’s an important part whether he’s actually hitting shots...

If the goal is purely winning the conference (vs stacking as many high end games with chances to win), this will do it. Only game on paper we’d likely to be worse than 50/50 odds would be at Michigan.

lol that is the conference tournaments

Super tough non-con schedule but part of that is their conference doesn’t give them the same opportunities as the B10.

Selfish? Minnesota owes it their fans to try to produce a winner, not to help TSJ in his career.

I think a school like IU has shown you can get the investment in both as a non traditional football power but I don’t disagree with your overall point. $3-4MM in basketball may get you a really good final piece to make a championship run but in terms of actual wins and achievements I’m not sure...

But besides Yaxel on pure offense those other guys just played as better versions of their game. It’s not like morez went from scoring 20 a game and same with Mara. They were underutilized players. Also think everyone wants to assume Juke is Yaxel 2.0 but he was projected an early second round...

I played more around with it and if you remove Coleman and Ethan Davis it moves us up to 8 lol. Yet it has Kansas higher then us assuming all 5 freshmen they have contributing at a higher rate then Vaalks on our team. It also has Houston so high because it has top 20 pick cegnac still on the...

Seems pretty flawed with all the minutes going to the freshmen and how low he has them all rated when reality is if they were that low they wouldn’t play.

TSJ starting

Creates a big difference in first round opponent for 1-3 seed vs 4-5. Basically all your 12s and potentially some 13s based on the year could be power teams; then you move up one seed line and you’re playing Penn.

Morez just declared for the draft…keeping eligibility though

For this particular team, that also would have meant a first round BTT loss after a bunch of losses to end the year.
