[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1986957, member: 748116"] Whatever is going with Shannon... the rest of the guys are clearly using this as a rallying energy for the team. Each of them are raising their individual game as I wanted to see them do. Honestly, how could that game have gone any better if Shannon was on the floor. Sure, we love the guy’s game. But the other guys are shining right now all on their own. And there is still more to their game that they can bring out. And our Coach isn’t too bad, either. He keeps talking about how the bond among this team is real... ‘We Are Fam-i-ly’ kind of thing. All My Brothers And Me... And... praise God for the Transfer Portal! As for the ‘playing time’ issue... it’s all about winning games now in college ball. Period. Can’t have concern for hurting someone’s feelings. If they don’t like it here they’re headed out to the Portal anyway so you can’t micromanage to see that every guy gets floor time. Especially when a floor group is clicking and on a roll. Almost nobody stays four years any more. Even two is pushing it these days. Get guys who have game and are winners and ride them all the way. Or said another way... trust that Coach knows what he’s doing. And as for Purdue... they won’t admit it but they have to be a bit more concerned for themselves now seeing what The Beloved did to the North Siders. And the rest of the Large Ten as well. [/QUOTE]
