There was talk about him falling to the 10th man off the bench which would essentially be minimal play time Maybe I read into some comments too literally saying if we get another portal player that Jake may transfer as they wouldn’t want to be 10th on the depth chart. Sorry, I didn’t respond to...

If Jake stays, I think he begins the season as a starter. Brad trusts him and I think his minutes, at least in the early season, are pretty high. Of course players will fight it out and he may be down to 15 mpg later on which would be a great development. That means the freshman or transfers...

This theory confounds me. We have a final 4 team based around under the rim productive guys. As long as they are not a revolving door on the defensive end, I think Brad has shown he can win without uber—athletes

Don’t use Iowa and Marble in the same sentence. IYKYK

Read most of the responses (missed a few pages here and there) so if this has already been posted, sorry. We have always complained that we never win the match up as the underdog and have lamented our coaching as the main reason. I never bought into those naysayers and those with experience...

Honest question, would you rather have Wisconsin’s roster than ours heading into the tournament since you expect them to boat race us? I’m going to go out on a limb and say, other than the people in the Wisconsin locker room, not a whole lot of people around the country would agree with you

From DeCourcy MIDWEST REGION This would be the bracket of death

There are several times per game that our perimeter defender gets beat off the dribble and funnels the opponent into the lane where Big Z is waiting, yet somehow, inexplicably fouls the player instead of letting Z either block or change his shot. I hope we can let Dent and Skyy try to shoot over...

I understand the hesitancy, especially going into the Breslin center. While I don’t expect us to shoot above 50% from 3, I think the difference with this team as that we really are an above average shooting team. In the recent past, we could get hot but never string together 2 shooting...

The general consensus was mid February

Huge props to the staff for putting this team together. 5 guys that can spread the floor and shoot the 3. They have always talked about efficiency and taking 3s and layups but have never had the horses to do it, until now.

Over my lifetime, I’ve watched some version of this game about 100 times. We go on the road against a higher ranked team as the underdog, we play well but, in that end, the home team makes a run and hangs on to win. Man does it feel good to play near perfect basketball in the last 4 minutes and...

I’m dating myself. While Bragging rights may have been the official name for some time, growing up in Champaign in the 80s, I remember referring to it as the border war. Had no clue about Missouri and Kansas when I was 10 years old.

While attending the Border war, I had a lot of time to think of other bball situations 🤣 Last possession for a win? Really only 3 options (not in order) 1. Andrej 2. Kylan 3. Keaton I leave off Tomi because it’s too hard to get the ball inside at the end of a game and a quick double could ruin...

We worked hard on our free throw defense.
