Who would have thought that Maverick would be one of our two best players. Just think what they would look like without him
0-15, actually. Good guess though!
I disagree. He's a small forward in my opinion
I have tickets for the Rutgers game at Rutgers. I thought that was a safe one.
At the very end of Pitinos q&a, he was asked if he was relieved Kipper only played 23 minutes. His response is very telling. And he said it with a straight face.
I'd have to believe at this point Coach Groce knows he's in trouble. I'd hate to know what that feels like to know you couldn't measure up on this big of a stage and your destiny has probably already been decided. I hope for everyone involved this thing doesn't spiral further out of control than it already is.
Would it soothe your sensibilities if we gave you $1.7 mil for the year?

Taking the time to label rungs on a ladder seems a little like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but I do admire Groce's composure. I am sure he is at a complete loss right now, but he hasn't allowed it to get the best of him (at least outwardly).
The ladder is just a motivational gimmick at this point. I get what he's trying to do with the ladder but that's not going to help you win games. When you're constantly losing games, then you just look completely foolish continuing to use the ladder as a metaphor.
Just watched the post-game presser. Groce's reasoning for Kipper being the 4th player off the bench in the 2nd half...
They are trying to play certain groups together, and he was playing out of position at the 3. He doesn't know the 3 as well, but he is working very hard at it. They could have got him in maybe a minute earlier.
Maybe the certain group that should've started the 2nd half was the one with Kipper in it? Idk, just an idea. Maybe Kipper screwed up by making buckets when he should've been passing it to JCL?
I've been a long time lurker, and just started posting in part as an attempt to understand the lineup madness. It appears hopeless. Time to just wait and see what next year holds.
At this point the only question is are we the worst team in the big ten this season.
100% accurate. The kids are playing hard, their effort is just misplaced because the scheme is terrible.

So this coaching staff is in way over their heads... but how in the heck are you not able to develop players into anywhere near the basketball players they should be. DJW has what looks like an NBA body and athleticism (the only one on the team that looks athletic enough to play in the league) and just let him rot on the bench to the point where he wants to transfer??
Get a freaking clue.
