Those guys may have won in the paint, but which team won most of those games?

Marquette, TN, MD, NW - those were all close loses in which we had no interior paint resistance. Imagine how much better this past season could be if we won a couple of those if we had some better defensive big.

Looking to next year while I'm confident we gonna get some really good talent in the portal I don't think we'll be able to match the production of TSJ and Domask.

You don't need a 6'11 260 lb monster in the middle. In college 6'8" 225 and strong is good enough.

Yes… I work in entertainment. But this board presents a specific opportunity to reach a niche audience that shares my niche interests and my niche comedic sensibilities.

Not that I ever want more competition in the Big Ten, but if a situation like Minny where a young team started to find itself later in the year is just meaningless now because all the players just scatter to the wind for no reason, what is even the point of following your college basketball team anymore the second your season runs into trouble?

This thing is hanging together by a thread, guys

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed a couple of things from my own perspective.

1) I'm almost as much a fan of the coach now as the players, maybe because of that year to year consistency (or maybe I just like Brad. Probably Both)
2) I've started following the portal more because it makes it feel like you have more time with the players than if you just follow during the season, because you know there's a decent chance that you don't have multiple seasons to follow them. You have to make the most of each season, thus the offseason kind of matters more, in a sense.
