If only college had box scores like in the pros and included +/- stats for each player, we would not be having this math proofs debate on this page.

Alabama has the +/- on their box scores, and they have White at -8, but they didn't show their work so I'm gonna stick with 21ChampaignSt for now.

Appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt, Tophe....but -8 is probably correct.

At one point Tre enters the game in the middle of two Alabama free throws. The Bama player then made the second free throw. So while Tre was on the floor for that point, he wasn't responsible for it. I wasn't sure how that should be handled. I went with the most literal interpretation and counted that point against Tre but sounds like the correct way and really the more fair way to do it is to count that point against the players who were on the court when the foul occurred.

I’d like to see Will and Morez start moving forward. The tenacity and focus on D is big, especially against these SEC schools. These guys are dogs and can match up better against teams like Ole Miss and Bama. Tennessee just killed a Baylor team right out the gate. Tre and Ben are critical pieces, but shouldn’t be starting. We can lose these games in the first 5 minutes while trying to dig out the rest of the game.

Also, Will needs to play 30+ minutes every night. His ability to shoot separates him from everyone on the team.

How many games have we played? All this stuff will work it's way out in time. We DO have reason to trust Coach BU, right?

I know a lot of people think the starting lineup means nothing, but that's just not true. First of all, it's a pride thing and Will is more than deserving of the spot.

Secondly, and most importantly, the starting lineup starts the game and the second half. We cannot afford poor starts to halves against B10 teams and these non-con games.

Unless starting would somehow cap his production or some sorts for whatever reason, he should start

I love his instant offense off of the bench against teams’ first subs. He gets starter minutes. And as a freshman you don’t want him to hit a wall in February. Underwood is handling this perfectly.

You mean in addition to the uber talented freshmen and transfers he's brought on board?

QUESTION regarding unsubscribing to BIG+. For two days now I have been trying to cancel my month subscription, once I hit the unsubscribe button, all I get is the circle of death. Anyone have a work around? Thanks in advance

Is this just for new subscribers? The links in that article just open the app and I already have a monthly subscription active canceled. If it had an easy way to re-up for the year, I’d probably do so.

I literally cancelled mine last week and still got to sign up for the deal

I think it is for new accounts. My account is thru 1/13/25 and it wouldn’t allow me to get the $20 rate

Our schedule is wild. Including Alabama, we’ll play 4 ranked teams over the span of 7 games. Then 1 team currently ranked over the next 16 games. And finally, we’ll finish off the season with 3 ranked opponents in the final 5 games.

Rough night tonight. My best rebuttal to my Auburn buddies who I bragged to all summer long about having a better basketball team was that our football is better

It's really nice to see our Defensive rating on Kenpom be higher than our offense.

No inside info. on a workaround but here is their support email: support@bigtenplus.zendesk.com
I have always had good responses from their support, although I haven’t had to use it very often
