Same energy...

If we are going to play our current defense regardless of opponent, then our roster needs to look a lot more like USC with a bunch of long, athletic, AGILE dudes who can play that way all the time.

Corn 79 F'n Illini 75

Unfortunately, the only thing Gavin has shown he can provide is turnovers, so he has to stay a permanent fixture on the bench. It saddens me to say that because I was excited to land him and had extremely high expectations for him here.

Corn 65 Badgers 81 14 assists

Corn 75 Condoms 69

Corn 69 Turtles 82

Corn 79 Knights 61 Get-right game!

This is good advice and what I do...I have a savings account that I only use for SeatGeek, Venmo, etc. and I always transfer money out if the balance ever gets over $100.

You see the talent in flashes, so he's definitely not bad. And I don't think he's selfish; he's seems engaged even when he's not playing. A true sophomore is still pretty young in my eyes. Mostly, I think it just hasn't "clicked" for him yet...and I'm not sure if it will. I think it's possible he might just be a slow processor or info, which he could get away with in HS because he was just better than the competition and the offenses/defenses aren't as complex. I will keep my fingers crossed that it clicks because I can't watch him just get the ball taken from him one more time.

I'm starting to see why Rutgers fans never seemed too upset when he transferred. He's got all the talent, but the game seems to move too fast for him. They keep saying he shoots great in practice, but practice speed ain't game speed. Seems like he can't shoot when he's rushed.

Oregon (That's right, I said it!)

Corn 69 Trains 75 PU pulls away late on FTs

I think everyone has sufficiently addressed the obvious reasons for the loss (missed FTs & layups, inconsistent defense, horrible officiating)… What I would have liked to have seen though, besides a killer instinct when you have a team down big, is more “booty ball” from Rollie and lobs to Meah. Rollie had a huge mismatch against their little PG and was effective a couple of times just backing him down, but we went away from it. I would have liked to see more of that to force Iowa to double team, allowing spray-out passes for open shots. We were also effective throwing the ball up to Meah in the paint and should have gone to him more, especially once Freeman got in foul trouble. It was obvious Iowa had no answer for his size and we didn’t take advantage. Alas, what could have been a needle-moving road win turned into another disappointing loss; it’s déjà vu all over again.
