Big Fish Little Pondi don't know man. what's his 3 pt percentage? that's our achilles. if he's at 40% he's playing. maybe 15-18 minutes and 15 pts a game?
he's right where he belongs anyway.

Miller wasn't the reason Miller left.Curbelo and Miller could have been part of something special here if they chose to buy in. They would likely both be starting, and Illinois might have been a top 15 team in the country. They instead thought Underwood held them back. Now neither will be playing in the NCAA Tournament, neither has a shot of making the NBA. They both made horrible decisions, I hope the remaining players here learn from their mistake and see the value in sticking it out.
Miller wasn't content starting every game as a Freshman on a 1 seed and eventually growing into a leading role, wanted the faster route. Well congrats, you shot 34 % on a team that went 2-16 in its Conference. Maybe you weren't the superstar you thought you were?
lol, dude come on, Melendez played 21 MPG and shot 25 % from three. Podz was Co-WCC player of the year, he would absolutely be playing like 30 mpg.Podz would play about 15 minutes a game here
Whenever he played last season he looked too slow for the Big 10… I watched him against Gonzaga this year and it was the same story. Sure, he can hit a deep pull-up 3 every now and then but he can’t beat a single decent athlete off the bounce, and that’s a huge problem in the NBA… or even the big 10. It’s a different level of competition he’s playing against.lol, dude come on, Melendez played 21 MPG and shot 25 % from three.

We don't even have a significantly better offense than Santa Clara...
KenPom Adjusted Offense:
Illinois - 64th
Santa Clara - 70th
15 MPG, dude, that's just haterade. There is not a SINGLE team in the country where Podz isn't playing more than that, let alone our projected 8 seed of a team, lol.
He got better this offseason. That is pretty clear, imo.Whenever he played last season he looked too slow for the Big 10… I watched him against Gonzaga this year and it was the same story.

Podz still couldn’t guard you or I…..there’s a lot of teams where in P5 conferences where he isn’t playing more than that….but okay.lol, dude come on, Melendez played 21 MPG and shot 25 % from three. Podz was Co-WCC player of the year, he would absolutely be playing like 30 mpg.

To your point, 11 of our players have a better defensive rating than Podz does. JE, the Frenchman and a walk-on are the only players worse.Podz still couldn’t guard you or I…..there’s a lot of teams where in P5 conferences where he isn’t playing more than that….but okay.
Yea. And Santa Clara University is a great place to be a (THE) bigshot on campus.Podz make the best choice for all involved. Really happy to see him have success at Santa Clara.
This is a fair point, but being good enough on one side of the ball still gets you minutes. Plummer wasn't a good defender and DMFW wasn't much of a scoring threat but they both got their minutes, and rightfully so.Podz still couldn’t guard you or I…..there’s a lot of teams where in P5 conferences where he isn’t playing more than that….but okay.
I can be wrong since I don't really watch Podz's games. But judging from his athleticism (or lack thereof), I suspect his defense is worse than that of Plummer.This is a fair point, but being good enough on one side of the ball still gets you minutes.

You need to watch a game, or look at the stats of his steals, blocks, and rebounds. A 6'5" guy who isn't athletic isn't nearly leading the conference in all of those categories. He is a very good defender because of his brain.I can be wrong since I don't really watch Podz's games.

This thread sucks.

During yesterdays game, announcer said "curbelo had left the team". Hard to know what the true story is here...Curbelo is in concussion protocol again and missing today‘s Big East Tourney game against Butler, who themselves lost two key players just yesterday due to academic reasons.
Love him or hate him, putting other issues aside, Curbelo can’t seem to get a break relative to concussion problems.
Curbelo tweeted yesterday that due to his last concussion (elbow to the head I read), he’s done for the rest of season unless they get to the dance.During yesterdays game, announcer said "curbelo had left the team". Hard to know what the true story is here...
