I was more interested to know why BU would allow the redshirt when he could have helped the team in some games? Just being a nice guy?
I don't think he would have made the difference in beating UCONN or getting a higher seed.
He got to save a year of eligibility which could be worth a lot of money for him if he develops into a good college guard.
Hoped he would stick around but the decision makes sense when you factor in the amount of talented guards coming in plus possible transfers.
Think his best move might be to transfer to a smaller program where he can play 30+ mins and develop offensively.
People that have enough money to be big donors have connections with a far different group of people than us mere commoners. They hear things that we don't. They know things that we don't. They know how to talk to other people of influence to help them come to conclusions favorable to them or their clients.
Conference tournament games only count as 1 game as per the guidlines as far as i know. I didn't see any mention in them as far as tournament games. The key words in the guidlines are scheduled games and completed games. I don't know the nuiances of that but i assume thats whats in play considering SIU played 30 or more games in both 19-20 and 21-22. So maybe those missing games is what the lawyers are counting on for the 30 percent, and IMO "scheduled" may play an important role. NCAA tourney games arent scheduled games for a school at the beginning of the season.
Ty will make him cry
Both my little dudes think Sencire is the GOAT because he plays so hard. I will always appreciate him for the impact he's had on their mindsets and making them orange and blue for life.

Hope we target him on every offensive possession 
Also, step kiddo texted me immediately after the UConn game to confirm his verbal commitment to the Illini and promise a national championship when he gets here.
Edit: some would say it's a little early at 3rd grade but he seems pretty set.

Do you even Loyalty, bro?

Sounds like Harris is gone.
2022 class was ranked 11,
Clark, Epps, and now Harris gone. Rodgers still here.
Crazy how things have changed.

Tyler Wahl's probably ecstatic that his eligibility has run out.

It could be possible that 3 games were cancelled before the start of the season and didn't make it onto the game schedule. Maybe, considering all things that year.One thing I didn't realize is how few games some programs played that year. Makes sense I guess, the major conferences had big financial incentives to try to have a season for TV, lower down that's less true, and they probably had less resources to prevent Covid outbreaks to boot.
Domask played more games than the entire seasons for Maine, Howard, or Chicago State. Tons of teams played less than 20 in the bottom half of D1. The Ivy League didn't play at all.
See above. And feel free to see for yourself
Southern Illinois Salukis 2020-21 Regular Season NCAAM Schedule - ESPN
ESPN has the full 2020-21 Southern Illinois Salukis Regular Season NCAAM schedule. Includes game times, TV listings and ticket information for all Salukis games.www.espn.com
Nonconference seasons were truncated that year. No fans, remember. We only played 26 regular season games, with one more (UT-Martin) canceled due to Covid.
Can we go back to guessing which players in the final 4 are hitting the portal?
Imagine a front court of Coleman Hawkins and Grant Nelson. (Highly unlikely, I know)

I would assume neither was 100% convinced he wouldn’t be here next year. At minimum, I’m sure he was an awesome asset on the scout team in practice this year.

This would indicate otherwise:
SIU hoops programs shut down by COVID-19
On Friday, The SIU men's and women's basketball programs were both affected by COVID-19. Saluki men's head coach Bryan Mullins tested positive for the virus and is asymptomatic, according to an SIU s...

And of course even if it were true, those would be games Domask would have been healthy for, contra the JeffJ tweet.
And even if there were 5 cancellations, it's still not enough to make 10 games less than 30% of the original schedule. There would need to be 8 cancellations.
This bums me out. He changed the trajectory of games last year... as a freshman... with only his defense

That wouldn't be very smart of Storr. It would/could be a repeat of the Domask/Shannon duo of 2023-24.
In all seriousness, I’m glad he’ll grow up seeing great Illini teams. I was born in 1999, so I pretty much missed out on
great Illini basketball until now.

Well, from Sencire's perspective, one year of work under Fletch is nothing to sneeze at.
