Big Ben......knocking down the 3's
Big Ben conquering the Big Ten!
I'll say this, as much as it sucks seeing us miss so many wide open 3's, our ball movement and movement in general (plus attacking the rim) are fantastic. I love see the ball pop like it is.
Same. He’s got to find other ways to influence the game and build some confidence rather than relying on the 3. Would have loved to see him hammer one home when he drove the lane earlier in the game. Always got me going back in the day (ok, it was on an 8’ rim but impact was same).
So was Ben...
Nice of Ben to step up. Wish DGL/Boswell/Ivisic would pitch in.
Riley needs another year to develop. Soft and slow footed.

He’s making his money tonight
If we win the conference outright we could easily see that across 3 teams.If Tre keeps this up, he could be an easy 1st team All B1G. Do we have any shot of having 3 in KJ, Boswell, and Tre?
It'd likely be KJ 1st Bos 2nd & Tre 3rd Imo
The Ben we have been waiting for.

With KJ out, we are seeing the men step up. The defense has been solid. Loving the energy on both ends.
Gotta remember...even though there are 6 or 7 good perimeter shooters, no one (except Freddie Brown) comes off the bench with a hot hand. All of our good perimeter shooters were volume shooters in high school, but it is hard to hit 40 per cent from the arc when only taking 3 shots a game. Hopefully, Ben is coming out of his slump and gaining confidence....and the sky is the limit for him.
