if you told me before the game that we shoot 40% from the field and 30% from three, i would not have believed that: 1) we win, 2) we score 86 pts.

gutsy win, would have won by double digits with this effort in Evanston

I think this should be the final wakeup call that BH needs to be taken out of the starting lineup and possibly the rotation. I'm sure he's a great practice player but results need to matter. There isn't a deep track record to fall back on with this player. A change is warranted.

Will Riley, the 5-star who reclassified to be here, spent way too much time on the bench while potential 5-star reclassification target Alex Constanza was in attendance. Maybe not the best message to send there, Brad.

Yeah, better to let him watch Riley lose the game for us /s

Context free, that's a great win.

I'm a little bummed that we're already here with minutes and rotations though. Riley not playing for the final 10-12 minutes just can't happen, no matter the reason.

Really glad we won. Chuffed with the effort put in there by Tre, KJ, and DGL in the limited minutes he got. Tre's growth in there was very encouraging.

Not thrilled with the minutes distribution by Brad. I can't help but wonder what I'd be thinking if I were Will Riley or Morez watching Ben Humrichous get beat horribly for multiple offensive rebounds off of Wisconsin foul shots, play horrid defense, brick shot after shot, run away from the play offensively, and gets so many more minutes than I got. This nonsensical distribution of minutes doesn't just kill us in game. It's foreseeable how it could kill our team morale.

For the love of god, Brad. Please wake up. Please stop trying to force a player into a role that he has proven time after time after time again that he just isn't suited for. Please give the players who are younger and more talented the chance to play and improve and use Ben in spot minutes when he can't hurt us defensively or when we are facing a zone.

Yeah I almost take him for granted or expect it bc he’s a 1 year lotto guy, but lot of guys like that don’t produce and still go. He’s producing. Can we find a Euro like this every year?

I hope we don't lose Morez next year because he should be getting more minutes this year.

Wondering if something is wrong with BigT cause he just hasn’t looked the same.
