This is the most logically consistent version that you've put out this year. I don't understand Gonzaga dropping 13 slots after losing to UConn, but since you don't believe in KenPom maybe you think UConn is a bad team?

Berg needs to develop confidence in his shot and needs aggression when guarding in the paint. I'd love to see him playing 20 minutes or more per game, because I think he's got a lot he isn't showing right now that playing time would help him and would help the team.

I don't understand this idea that there's something he's not showing in practice, or his current time on the court that will just appear if he gets more playing time.

This is almost never true. It's true that are a handful of players who play better than they practice (and even more who practice better than they play). I see nothing to suggest Berg is that tiny fraction.

Many times? Can you provide those example?

Waddell, pre injury—torn acl, was apparently turning heads in practice…

in the early 2000s, there was a great AAU coach in Fort Wayne (I forget his name). We gave his son a schollie ... because he had and would probably continue to lead his best players to the Boilers ... This has been true in the Region before. Keeping the influencers of the pipeline happy.

Dafuq?

Zach average 14.4 and 7.7 in just 19 minutes while in a timeshare with an another All B1G center. That's not even close to nothing.

Hell, compare his per 40 numbers as a soph to those of his NPOY seasons:

BTW, the insurrectionists were in November(after months of riots, shootings, lootings and general public disturbances that were encouraged by the dems), the protest that had some turn to rioting against the insurrectionist was on Jan 6 with a needless killing of a woman by a cop that had a history of misconduct and then was paid 12 times other cops for retention for starters.

If some goons try to break into the Capitol Building and harm its occupants, the Capitol Police should stop them. Period. It doesn't make any difference if the intruders are Proud Boys, Antifa, the American Legion, the VFW or Daughters of the American Revolution. The CP must stop them. That is their job. That is their sworn duty.

I hope so, but I don't think so.

By next season playing ahead of him, at a minimum, will be TKR, Burgess, Jacobsen, and probably Heide at the 4/5 positions. That's if we don't pick up someone (which is always a possibility).

That doesn't scream anything to me other than spot minutes best case, and worst case we get another portal or grad transfer big which means even more minutes to spread.

Need some athletic meaness under rim . MIA this year.

Does CMP go after another .......

Bleedinggoldandblack
CMP I believe prefers to " grow" his teams from the ground up foundation stuff it's proved to work over and over Edey being the most recent example , he seems to bring in portal guys as icing on the i.e. Lance Jones did he change things just at the right time. I don't think we make the FF without him. So CMP is once again putting in a group that has the core of staying vs 1 and done. That is the secret of team building IMHO. This is a transition year , DJ getting hurt was a big deal as he needed this time. So a portal athletic guard and some meaness under the basket wouldn't hurt next year. But I never got paid the big bucks for cbb so there's my less than 2 cents . Team building vs buying players in the portal. CMP is old school but it's gotten him quite a good history over the years.

Nebraska was able to be efficient because IU can’t play defense. They don’t play team defense/get to the spots they need to. They are bad on the switch for PnR, rice is lost half the time, Goode can’t guard a trash can, Ballo is slow and out of position. It’s ok to admit your team isn’t very good on defense, but for you to think it was all due to Nebraska being the most “efficient” all year is a bit laughable.

I wouldn't say they can't play defense, just that they don't.

Ashley was psycho. Enjoy.

Ashli Babbitt, Jan. 6 insurrectionist portrayed as martyr by some, had violent past

Former President Donald Trump and his supporters have sought to portray the woman who was shot by a police officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as a righteous martyr who was unjustly killed. But the life of the 35-year-old Air Force veteran from California, Ashli Babbitt, was far more complicated.

like your first response on the wall wasted money you said both sides waste money which is true, but you left out that the dems have done everything in their power to thwart building the wall which the particular thread was concerning. Now my post about the cop and the money is met with the she was crazy...which also has nothing to do with the subject of the money in question the cop got and while wanting more. There are too many spenders on both sides of the aisle which is true, but that doesn't mean all fruits are the same.

BTW, the insurrectionists were in November(after months of riots, shootings, lootings and general public disturbances that were encouraged by the dems), the protest that had some turn to rioting against the insurrectionist was on Jan 6 with a needless killing of a woman by a cop that had a history of misconduct and then was paid 12 times other cops for retention for starters.
