if you look on the slo mo replay, Langborg's elbow hits the navel area but of course the RU guy has to sell cracked nuts
Loyer...has the B10 figured him out?
- Thread starter Boiler Buck
- Start date
Some people struggle to put on weight.
And you can gain strength without putting on weight.
I think he's just struggling right now. Obviously don't know if he has an injury but his shot is flat. His FT's are flat which normally means leg injury or just fatigue...
Just finished watching the game and Matt even mentioned Mason shooting more on the move after the game . FWIW, it didn't have to take a couple of years to be effective doing that
Agree. While in fairness to Fletcher he's now listed at 180 versus his high school listing of 165 and I have no idea how much his weight room numbers have improved, he really gets thrown around and pushed off balance when opponents are allowed to be physical with him. Continuing to add muscle and strength seems like the next logical step for him.
I suspect he'll never be a 200 pound plus guy but it seems within the realm of possibility to follow a Ryan Cline type trajectory where Ryan went from 170 in high school to 195 his senior year at Purdue. I don't remember Ryan getting thrown around the same way that Fletch seems to.
I will never feel bad for Chris Collins and his NU teams, any time they get screwed it's just things coming back around, but totally agree with you here. That's intentional and a flagrant 1, IMO, but it doesn't look to me like he's trying to hurt the kid, just aggressively clearing space. The flagrant 1 on the Rutgers kid to me absolutely should have been a flagrant 2 as the only purpose of what he did there was to try to inflict inventory.
Glad to see NU take the loss but another example of poor and uneven officiating.
I believe Loyer should pull up for the jump shot instead of trying to drive to the basket. He doesn’t have the strength to take it to the hole. Also agree Jones hasn’t found a shot he doesn’t like, when he runs the point almost assured he is looking for his own shot first. Also agree Loyer’s shot looks flat but who cares if he makes them. We need Loyer to help stretch the floor so let’s hope he gets more consistent
Northwestern and Rutgers stretch the rules and put the onus on the officials. Knowing they won’t call all the fouls their way of mucking up the game and gaining an competitive edge
Did Loyer lift a single weight in the off-season? He has the build of a middle school kid and just gets bullied.
Weights are not his problem.
Standing around on offense, and not working hard to get open is. He has become an easy guard.
In a CMP offense famous for "Move".....he seems to be allowed by coaches to stand around and watch
This isn't the same offense from 10 years ago. And not moving on offense doesn't have anything to do with him not be able to get through screens or bullied to the basket.
Yes more PnR.
But you have the admit he is standing around watching. It's easy to see. Not alot of movement without the ball.
Loyer makes some of the worst entry passes I have seen at any level of play.
The timing, angle, height, etc or all of the above with his passing is just so abysmal. His entire game is reduced to taking wide open threes (if just wide open) or driving for a weak soft floater. Zzzz.

Painter is not benching nor limiting his boy. He will die with Loyer for some reason we can’t imagine. We all see the need to get a more physical player at the 3 spot but apparently Painer has his blinders on.
Were you saying “zzz” during the Tennessee or Arizona games ?
Just stop it. The kid can flat out play. Yes, does he need to be aggressive 100% of time....sure, but he's good. He plays well against good/great competition. I'm not sure why he tends to take games off, but so does half this team. They need to be gritty every single possession and/or game... including Zach and Braden.
I am not an X's and O's guy so what I say here may be completely wrong, but I tend to agree that it looks like we're at times relying too heavily on PnR and when that breaks down or is taken away we struggle.
also like this past sunday where it took too long to get into the O, where Smith was just dribbling out by half court then wait too long to get into sets, too often Edey gets it w/ 5 secs to go and the D knows he has to do something and they collapse on him
