Because overreacting is like 99... No, 100% of what we do here.

Guess there's only one thing to do...[attachment=2152:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1432783447.412682.jpg]

MSB was once offered a Dos Equis, and declined.

the other side of the pillow thinks MSB is cool...

point token... I mean taken

This! I cringe when I see people say "defense is all about effort". It's also largely about fundememtals and IQ. I learned so much about defensive fundementals and positioning, how to properly hedge and fight through screens, etc in college. We were putrid at the fundementals of defense. Guys constantly playing straight up and down, constantly with their hands down, constantly turning their back to the ball and while others watched the ball with their back to their man. It was awful. The good news is those things can be corrected. Hopefully they will be, we'll see.

there is definitely something shady going on at Oregon... almost 200M in revenue versus 110M in expenses?   what the hell is going on up there???  I mean...damn...drug dealers and pimps are jealous of that kind of rate of return...

Like Kim Jong Un, MSB does not poop.

Got a good laugh out of this one.

I think we have all forgot what the real issue is. You can coach a defensive set that will overcome any athletic deficiency. Think back......Remember, we had NO sets. We would try a thousand defensive sets in one posession. If we stick with one or two defensive sets and coach until they perform until they can do the sets in their sleep, we will be a top 100 defense

I kinda agree with you because I know Thon isn't as smooth as his mixtapes. However, Carmelo Anthony, Anthony Davis, Karl Anthony Towns, Kevin Durant and 100 or so other Freshman disagree about how big of an impact Freshman can be. Ps-maybe we need to recruit more "Anthony's". My off the cuff list is heavy Anthony. Haha.

This is a big decision for him. Not sure why we are overreacting so much about him taking his time.

@AssemblyCall: It's silly to get worked up over offseason workout reports … That said, Troy Williams is going to be 1st team All-Big Ten next year. #iubb

MSB says "If you think a Polar Bear has Cool toenails, u betta check me out!"

The world DOES revolve around MSB

He looks like a HMP with a lot better basketball IQ n hands.

Not only Kentucky:

MSB was offered the lead in the new Conan the Barbarian movie, but turned it down because he was told he couldn't wear the candystrips.

MSB birthed himself.

Two years ago (the year Vonleh was here) we were a top 50 defensive team according to Pomeroy. That team with Vonleh was WAY less talented than last year's team. The difference? A defensive minded big man to clog the middle. Of course our wings weren't good defensively last year but adding a big man as a second line REALLY helps. It's like having a good secondary in football. You could have the best or worst D line but if you have a good secondary it makes a big difference, and vice versa.

How I've learned to hate the word 'handler'.  Nothing more than de facto agents or even worse, glorified pimps!  Yes, I'm old, cranky and didn't get my afternoon nap.  Deal with it!     :rtfm:

  I think Yogi, JBJ and Troy all got told they needed to improve their defense.  Which hopefully helps us out, since they all seem very focused on getting to the league.    With our lack of depth up front improvement in our guards is going to be a must they can't be getting beat every time and putting Bryant on the spot. 

When MSB was born, the only one that cried was the doctor: NEVER slap MSB!
