Playing time next year

M
This is if I were the coach how I would have been planning for next season already.

Start Amiyah at point guard, play her 25 minutes a night there.
Play Poole 15 minutes a night at point, and 10-20 a night backing up the shooting guard spot
Start Jones at shooting guard. Tell her to work on her outside shot and develop a solid pull up jumper in the off season. Play her 25-30 minutes a night.
Start Swanson at SF, basically a 3 guard offense, play her 20-30 minutes a night.
Start Stevenson at PF, play her 25-30 minutes a night. Maybe some at center if we go small or the frosh are struggling
Play McKenna backup at both forward spots 10-25 minutes a night depending on matchups and her development.
Start Puryear at center and play her 20 minutes a night.
Play McCarthy at backup center, 10-20 minutes a night.

Spot in Mila at either forward spot as needed and for a change of pace.
Spot in Smith at SF or guard as needed and to keep players fresh.

I would also full court press 40 minutes every game to make best use of the depth and athleticism on the roster.

This counts on/assumes McKenna and Jones stepping up, Amiyah and Poole being game ready day one, and the frosh posts able to play defense at the position.

With the transfers, I would replace Smith with the best of the lot and the other two can sit at the end of the bench with Alaina and practice cheer routines.

IF you play the portal girls, you are taking minutes and development from the underclassmen and delaying, destroying our chances of getting back to the top of the Big Ten IMHO. I am not sure any of the transfers so far are even better than Smith.......... They are an absolutely unnecessary risk to team chemistry IMHO

Columbia Protestors Clarify They Only Want Death To America After America Is Done Paying Their Student Loans

NEW YORK, NY — As pro-Palestine groups continued to gather on campus following the establishment of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, Columbia University protestors clarified that they only want "Death to America" after America is done paying their student loans for them.

I heard they were passing a hat around to help all of the protesters pay off their loans.


(I’m only kidding, why would they need to pay off their loans?)

Could only 4 Big Ten teams make the NCAA Tournament?

R
Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan St. are in right now! Ohio State, who I think is going to fold, is currently 5th in the conference with a Net of 46, 12 of its current 13 wins are Quad 3 & 4 and has SOS of 155 on Bracketolgists. They have already lost to IU, Michigan and Penn St.. Their best win in Conference is Minnesota at home? Iowa, the 6th rated Net of 49, has played a tough schedule, but 0-6 in Quad 1 games, but has a Quad 3 loss at home to Michigan. At 11-7 and 2 home losses, can't afford to have any more bad losses! Nebraska 7th in the Net, might have the best chance if they can hold serve at home, but can they win any road games(0-4BT)? Their Out-of-conf SOS is 321, OUCH! Northwestern is 8th in the Net at 78, but has a Quad 4 loss! Ouch! The problem with the Big Ten is you have about 4 teams that are consider as Quad 1 wins, so it will be real hard for these bubble teams to find quality wins. Ohio St. has to pick a win up at home against either Illinois or Purdue, but does not play either on the road, They already have been pounded at home bye Wisconsin and still have to play their. Iowa has to beat Illinois or Wisconsin at home, or Illinois on the road. Nebraska has to beat Wisconsin at home, but can they win on the road? Northwestern has to beat Illinois at home, or try to steal one at Purdue! When was the last time only 4 teams from the BT made the tournament?

Big Ten 3pt shooting next year

R
Our Boilers shot 40.4% from three last year, returning we are shooting 41.7% from 3.
Michigan has added Walters @ 39.4%, Donaldson @ 41%, and Jones @ 41.6%. Think they will shoot a lot 3's!
Oregon added Angel who shoots @ 44.7%. USC added Agbo who shoots it at 40.9%. Neither teams shoots many.
All the other teams in the BT seem to be going the wrong way, except Michigan. Iowa could better??
IU went from 32.8% to 35% with player exits, but added in Carlye @ 33.3% and Rice @ 29.6 %, they drop back down to 33.8%. They could improve with Goode @ 39.1 % to 34.8%, still very average.
