  Yeah you would think that would be the case, but it's the opposite. I think in Yogi's numbers, there is a little more to the story. Yogi has had to really step up his game on the offensive side of the ball, while playing about 39 mpg, so he's more prone to being a defensive liability. Having TB would help take some more of the offensive load off of Yogi and also help out everyone's defensive numbers.

  Nope, lower is better for Defensive Rating. Just measures points per possession given up while you're on defense.

Same, but I already took one astronomy class and I've basically just tuned out for this one, thinking that I could get by on past knowledge. That ended up being the wrong assumption to make.

  Man, one day I hope that stats like these are more important, but right now Astronomy is kicking my *** so I should probably focus on that :lol:

You can find Defensive Ratings for each year on sports-reference.com. For example, Jordy:   Freshman: 110.8 Sophomore: 108.7 Junior: 103.4 Senior: 97.9   Would go in depth about every guard, but I have 3 tests this week and should probably focus my time on those instead.   Edit: Found this and thought it was interesting.   Yogi from year to year:   Freshman: 97.0 Sophomore: 104.1 Junior: 111.8   So a trend in the opposite direction.

All that is is a report of the two tweets which don't really mean anything. Going into the tourney, no one is going to openly say "yeah, he's gone."

BILL WALTON TIME!!!!!

Awesome.

Illinois basically fighting for their big dance lives and coming out flat.

nope

The loser is out either way. No quality wins and low SOS

So have we flown down to see him yet? People still at their posts on flightaware?

  That is some quick grad school. Must be taking the max amount of credits, which is super impressive.

  Nick Zeisloft is graduating from his grad program in two semesters? Impressive.   Anyway, the room will be here for TB if he chooses to come here, we will find a way.

Man, I hope Nebraska loses. I want northwestern. Maybe CTC can improve his record against them to 5-8

He wouldn't get as many minutes as he does for us, but he has also improved a TON since last season, so who knows. And he carried us the last three games, so I'm not surprised he moved up to #1. He follows the Rockets gameplan, only shoot 3s.

Just imagine if they still had the #1 rated offensive player in the country (NZ)

Man they are playing like a 1 seed. Crazy...

I absolutely love watching the games he calls. Actually, I don't really watch because I couldn't care less about the Pac 12, but I listen just for him. He makes everything so awkward with Dave Pasch. It's all very odd, but it's more entertaining than Dickie V.

Keepin it close!

Why do teams just completely fold against UK?

Turning into quite a game. What a shot on that 3.

  Yes I do know that and I'm with you 100%, but last year we had 0 teams as a state and notice, I didn't include Purdue!

  There are potentially three other Indiana teams that will make the NCAA tourney with Butler and ND having a good chance of winning a couple. Valpo will probably get beat early on, but good for them... (Just trying to make our state sound a little better :) )   You're right though, rough year so far.

Yeah man, it was rough. Only had one position player and one pitcher actually play who will be on the opening day roster, but embarrassing either way. It's a fitting start to this season though, where most days will be the same; ending in a loss.
