  1. After seeing the Lloyd news, I thought about going back to see where we expected him to be before the season started. Rather than humiliate those who had him in the starting lineup, I'd point out this especially prescient post. It's clear Gary would have started at the beginning of the season if fully healthy.
  2. https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1735093315907768635 Ruling freed up a transfer who had 10 pts and 6 bds against the boobirds. Thanks, judge!
  3. 3 seed in this NIT bracket: https://www.dratings.com/predictor/bracketology/
  4. I wonder how he got that. Couldn't find that feature on the menu.
  5. That's scary. Not going to be a lot of quality wins available in conference.
  6. A thoughtful title to this thread. MSU board has one called "Tom's team sucks": https://247sports.com/college/michigan-state/board/93/Contents/toms-team-sucks-222803661/?page=1
  7. Minnesota could be a great job with the right coach. Unbelievable how much instate talent is available, but they've had trouble keeping it at home. Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren, just to mention a couple of recents. About 4 million in the Twin Cities, and basketball is a big deal in the smaller communities. Also, only one other D1 school instate is Summit League's St. Thomas. Think about that for a minute. We have 3, with about one third of the population (5.7m vs. 1.9m). Look out if they hire Niko.
  8. Sparty shooting 27% on 3s for the year. Let the mean reversion wait a week!
  9. Here's a comparison with other lower P6 programs. I assume that we beat ALL of them on $$$ and facilities. Advantages for our closest competitors: BIG Northwestern: Good recruiting base, recent success, otherwise poor history Penn State: Ditto Rutgers: Ditto ACC Boston College: 3 Elite Eights, good recruiting base Big 12 Central Florida: Good recruiting base, not sure about their facilities and $$$. Former D2 powerhouse, has won just one NCAA tournament game (2019) Pac-12 Washington State: Poor local recruiting base, with Seattle nearby. Fairly poor history, although they made a Sweet 16 in 2008. Cal: Good recruiting base, disinterested fans. Rich history with 19 NCAAs, a national championship and 3 FFs. Big East DePaul: Good recruiting base, rich history (though abysmal for last 20 years) Washington State and UCF seem to be the closest comp.
  10. KT doesn't usually give up the ball until after he's exhausted his chances at getting a shot. So teammates often get the ball back after waiting to see what he does. when they're not in a position to score themselves. I know he's our meal ticket, but 0.7 assists per game is pretty telling and might be the reason some are reluctant to give him the ball.
  11. Mine: ESPN announcers (others not as bad) talking about some dumb effing game later on the "ESPN family of networks" and not the game they're broadcasting. I don't give **** about the "big game" later when I'm watching the Huskers.
  12. With the kind of scrutiny they receive, is it any wonder?
  13. Some numbers to chew on: Gary (career 25% )and Allick (29%) took a combined 6 3s. KT and Brice took a combined 4.
  14. Nice to be citing Sam Waugh this year, instead of Adolph Lewandowski!
  15. Nolan Warren is really good for quick looks at resume, vs Q1, Q2, etc.
