Since December 1, Torvik has Keaton as the best player in the country. Well above Boozer.

If you include November, he's just below Boozer.

He needs to start getting more buzz as a favorite for B1G PoY and 1st team AA.

Two things will hold him back though:
1) He’s a freshman
2) He was late breaking into the national conversation (through no fault of his own) which is a lot to overcome when guys like Braden Smith and Cam Boozer have been in the consideration set from day 1.

Edit: should've put this in the Keaton PoY thread.

Coming off a loss Purdue shot 57% from the floor, 37% from 3, 82% from the line and only turned the ball over 3 times. Braden Smith goes for 27&12… In Mackey. Illinois beats Purdue.

#5 Nebraska, the hottest team in college basketball, coming off their first loss hits 15 three’s at Pinnacle. Illinois beats Nebraska.

These wins are drunk!

Big favor. Can anyone show or point me to a seating chart of SFC that actually shows the seat numbers? All I can find are charts with just the sections. I like to sit on the aisle, small bladder, doncha know. And I hate stepping over people several times a game.

If you really zoom in, you can get a good idea of what seat is what on SeatGeek:

I was thinking about this after the game as well. While it makes logical sense for him to take another redshirt year and preserve two years of eligibility. If he has a chance to play on a FF/NC team - how can you pass that up?

If he's healthy, he certainly brings an element we need. It would be matchup dependent how much he plays, but certain games he would essentially take Ben's role to guard the 3/4 on the other team and bring rebounding and energy off the bench and he'll be one of our best defenders. I think he definitely would have a role on this team if he's healthy. Against Michigan it would be nice to have him to guard Yaxel, for instance

It would be a luxury, and it's not clear how much he would play, but I'm sure he's excited about what this team can do and wants to be a part of it

From center with your back to scorers table the seats number 1 will be on your left side in each row of each section. Hope this makes sense to you.
