Mayer’s turnaround has been unreal. I thought he was a culture cancer 2-3 weeks ago and now he looks like the team leader.
I thought it was telling when, in the post-game locker room after Wisconsin I wanna say and the team stayed seated and quiet upon BU's entrance before erupting with cheers, that BU said something like, "No doubt that was Matthew's idea." (I mean that he wouldn't have said that if they weren't buddies.)

Ty Rogers was one bucket and 2 rebounds short of his first double double. Only took him 22 minutes.

Looking at Mayer’s excellent play, the reports of him tussling with Clark before the Missouri game, and some of his comments to the media around that time… maybe he shouldn’t have done the latter, but to me it’s very clear who was causing many (most? all?) of the locker room problems. And it wasn’t Mayer.

That’s of course before we even get to “take 0440’s word for it!”
Did I dream up the comments weeks ago that “an upperclassman” was the prima donna?

Not sure Garcia would get a ton of minutes even. I guess he would’ve taken Lieb’s minutes today. ;)

Would rather give those minutes to a kid like Lieb honestly … People clown on that kid but all he does is take care of business off the court, show up to practice and give it everything’s he’s got …

Kid is living his dream … Illinois Basketball … Pretty cool to see

In 2023 where every kid is entitled and thinks they’re going to the league … it’s nice to see a kid who stuck it out when he knows he ain’t gonna play and get rewarded with 10-15 minutes tonight 👍🏻
