Do we know what cities the games will be in yet?
It would be SO satisfying to run them out of the gym ... shades of the 2002-03 beatdown of North Carolina in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.Revenge.
I was at that game. It was awesome to chant Over rated clap clap clap clap clap, and watch the Carolina fans scurry to the exitsIt would be SO satisfying to run them out of the gym ... shades of the 2002-03 beatdown of North Carolina in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Good: Dain has definitely slimmed down, indeed.
Dain has really slimmed down. Physique looks great.
Well of course you could...you are Wyatt earp..Good: Dain has definitely slimmed down, indeed.
Not so good: Well it went in, and I’ll give him credit for working at it.,.But that is not the best shooting form I ever saw. Harris’s release point is way low…and all out in front of his body too much. I think I could block him.
I believe it’s actually not so much Dain becoming more lean, but Harris getting FLETCHED big time. With how jacked he is everyone compared to him now looks tiny!

TBH - I don't remember Dain getting a lot of dumb fouls. Early in the year Rodgers got a lot of silly (hands on defender) fouls but he made adjustments. Maybe I am not remembering correctly. There is much about 22/23 that is not memorable.If Dainja get his conditioning down (looks like it's happening) and learns from last season (e.g., cuts way down on dumb fouls), he could be poised for a big jump. I think everyone knows he has it in him. Don't know where the ceiling is, but it's up there.
I don't really look at it as post season vs regular season but more as different milestones throughout a year that I value differently.How much much do you guys care about big ten championships vs March Madness performance when judging a seasons success?
Personally I care significantly (like 90-10) more about March, but I was wondering what other people thought.
I put it this way. The 89 Flyin Illini did not win the Big Ten Championship. What team do we remember more 89 or a random Big 10 Championship?I don't really look at it as post season vs regular season but more as different milestones throughout a year that I value differently.
1. National championship
2. Runner up
3. Final Four
4. Reg season championship
5. Elite 8
6. Sweet 16
7. Conference Tournament championship
8. Second round
9. Make the tournament
#4 and #5 are close for me but tie goes to the banner.
FIFYTBH - I don't remember Dain getting a lot of dumb fouls. Early in the year Rodgers got a lot of silly (hands on defender) fouls but he made adjustments. Maybe I am not remembering correctly. There is much about 22/23 that needs to be forgotten.

Of course you would but leave the darn couch at your mama's basement first!Good: Dain has definitely slimmed down, indeed.

My point was HARRIS sometimes extends his arms OUT, with a little more of a fling or a push… rather than a little more UPWARD with a lift)…And that often leads to a lower release point. It eventually makes for a flatter/less arched shot. In other words, late in the game with zero legs…if he’s not RIGHT ON he’s in trouble.Harris form is almost identical to Trent Frazier
I get far more lengthy and consistent enjoyment out of the pursuit of regular season accolades and seeding hopes (obviously). The tournament is such a crapshoot, i just refuse to expect the world from it. I obviously would get peak excitement from a deep tournament run, but I don't like the idea of the entire season basically not mattering as it relates to my joy in sports.How much much do you guys care about big ten championships vs March Madness performance when judging a seasons success?

2005I put it this way. The 89 Flyin Illini did not win the Big Ten Championship. What team do we remember more 89 or a random Big 10 Championship?
Making the final four is what makes for a magical season that people tend to remember. We don’t talk as much about the outstanding 2001 team that only made the elite 8. That team would be ingrained in our memories if we had beaten arizona In the elite 8. (Don’t get me started on that game)I put it this way. The 89 Flyin Illini did not win the Big Ten Championship.

There are two kinds of college basketball fans, casual and serious. Casual fans only pay attention to March Madness, especially the Final Four. Serious fans care about important stuff, like winning the recruiting rankings.How much much do you guys care about big ten championships vs March Madness performance when judging a seasons success?
