Nice! I think he'll do well. Represent, Alfonso!
If he is on he will be close to unbeatable
Bohannon is the only one of these I won't miss. I was always surprised when I saw Iowa in BTT or playing other teams and how good Bohannon looked, because I honestly don't remember him doing anything against Illinois other than whining. And losing. And for that, I probably should thank Trent.
As I suspected, we will have to see Bohannon one last time on Thursday night... along with Davison
It would be poetic to end the season with a final Illini win over Iowa and Wisconsin.
I don't recognize the player on the left. ?
BBV. Looks like his hair is braided back again, so it might make him harder to recognize right away
Whoa. I would have never recognized him without the big hair. Thank you.
Yup. Down the stretch, almost all coaches go w/ their 6 or 7 top guys.
Yes it probably can but its extremely rare for a team to have 9 or 10 guys that are all around the same level. That's why this never happens in real life.
You really see this at almost every level. I watch a lot of high school basketball both boys and girls and a vast majority of coaches really shorten their benches the bigger the games become. They just don't seem to trust their 7th, 8th, 9th etc when season is on the line. They are going to live and die with their top 5-6 kids.
That would be a fantastic basketball fit too. Would love to see that happen.
Two things come to mind when seeing this: 1) very similar phenomenon to the NBA, where teams typically value having 2-3 top-level stars over a really deep team. 2) still need to find that happy medium where you have the talent to fill in gaps created due to injury, like what Houston was able to do this year. Very hard to do I would imagine but the best teams will have capable guys able to step up and fill 90% of the shoes of a primary option that is out injured (like with Sasser). We'll get a good idea of how much this lack of bench minutes can bite you with Nova as they try to make do without Justin Moore on the fly.
