I really have no desire to watch Boswell take anymore step back or off the dribble 3's.

I know it's just 1 there on the last possession, but notice how good we've been without those mayer-like threes from Boswell.

Yep, I think the key to beating Illinois is to have athletic bigs that can neutralize the Illinois rebounding advantage, and also have guards that are comfortable taking open 2 point jumpers.

NW doesn’t have athletic bigs, and their guards can’t do anything.
Not to be "that guy", but that shouldn't be a new revelation. We've been extremely thin with the boys on the roster. Just had to hope one didn't go down. Maryland was the absolute worst possible matchup for us last week. Couldn't have picked a worse team when dealing with TI being out. NW......they're not going to blow you away with a rotation of size.

Hoping Nebraska won't either.

Those function as outlet passes for the other team, particularly good transition teams like Sparty.

Agree he needs to limit them. Been good so far.

Sixty years ago, at the end of my junior season, I came down with what was diagnosed as severe mono. Missed school for two weeks just sleeping. When I came back, to school, I was fatigued just walking to second floor classes. It took about 8 weeks before I felt better.

Today, treatment has improved and recovery, if the case is not too severe, guys can be healthy in 2-3 weeks. It is my hope that Tomi can hit that tie frame or even sooner.

Pass the ball Bam - understand that facilitation is what we need you to do and so use your team and quit being a ball hog shooter.
