Vaaks , Davis, Andrej, Mirk, Ivisic lineups work just fine. Please let’s not do this “but they’re not labeled a guard!” thing.

Related, I find it amusing Jake can’t be considered a guard because “he can’t dribble that well” but Sencire Harris can be a SHOOTING GUARD shooting 18% and 11% from 3 the last 2 years

Underwood: “I like to use the term position-less basketball.”

Hmmm, I…think Coach had a term he likes to use in this debate of who can play what position and back up who when needed in various lineup schemes 🤔

Sencire Harris will always have a special place in my orange heart, if only for this moment… but on this team he’d be battling Fagbemi for #13thman

Not sure where this mentality comes from that the only people that can play the point are Vaaks and Coleman, you have Mirk, Brown (who I think will play that position a lot), Morillo. Plenty of people to back it up. Don't sleep on Ethan Brown, high IQ kid.

What he did to Tyger Campbell in Vegas was legendary. We don't make that comeback without him.
Not going to happen but I'd take him back. This team could use a player like Buck.

And Boo Buie in that 19pt comeback.

I’ll also always remember that Purdue second half (even though we didn’t win).

We might have a better version with QC and his motor.
