    (2022) - PF Kaleb Banks to Tulane

    I think Race will come back and perhaps X. Doesn’t Kopp and Stewart have one more year too

    I want CMW to keep trying to develop his bench ; however, this seems like something the he should try in these last 3 non conference games. I 100% agree!

    As well as Bates!

    True, but the majority of our have their ups and downs too! For instance Kopp & Stewart.

    This is exactly what I am talking about and a game like this can build towards that! Come on Kaulie give props to a part of his progression!

    It’s the confidence thing that I’m talking about. It doesn’t matter the competition, a game like this can develop confidence. We’ll see how things progress over the next few games. That’s what I’m talking about

    Maybe not, but it can be a confidence builder. The next few games could tell a lot. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to get a players confidence back and a game like this could be the first step towards that!

    I think with JG’s performance today, which hopefully is confidence builder, our bench may start becoming an asset that we thought it could be. If JG and TB can contribute 12-16 points each game combined and RP can start giving us what he did today plus hitting an occasional shot, our bench will become an asset! These next few games will tells us a lot!

    No he did not and that was a big call against us!

    He’s been soft the last few games. I think it started when he had that almost knee injury

    And then some!!! We got a double double but what Woodson hopefully got is JG’s confidence back!

    It’s his team and we can question it and for good reason but I am confident there is a method to his madness. In CMW I trust!

    Nice win and they bench did their job! They extended the lead which is what CMW was trying to get done in todays game. Mission accomplished and a nice bounce back win! A couple other things of note: 1) This team is slowly gaining some mental toughness 2) JG, RP, and TB all played well off the bench. Even Leal played decent! 3) Lander sits behind RP for a reason

    IUBB vs Merrimack - 12/12/21 @ Noon on BTN

    And he took responsibility for that, but this is the type of game he should be able to do that in and it worked! JG, RP, TB has all played well and gained confidence. Leal hasn’t looked bad either
  15. IUFAN1976

    IUBB vs Merrimack - 12/12/21 @ Noon on BTN

    He knows that, but he is trying to develop his bench with the anticipation that a couple of those players might be counted on to finish close games, plus if team has a lead he doesn’t want any drop off.

    IUBB vs Merrimack - 12/12/21 @ Noon on BTN

    I hate to say it, but our offense has looked better with Phinesee at the point than Johnson. If only he can start knocking down the 3 ball. It would be nice if CMW would give him the start in the 2nd half, but we know that won’t happen

    My bosses niece is the starting lebero, not sure I spelled it right, for Nebraska.

    (2023) - C Xavier Booker to Michigan State

    Sounds like he should play go to Turdue and play for the Toiletmakers!

    That’s what I want for Christmas!!
  20. Sorry, I didn’t catch that! After re-reading it, I can see that now! Painter, like Keady, can find big men that aren’t highly recruited and develop them. Edey actually has coordination, probably from playing baseball and hockey. Someone told me he actually didn’t play basketball until he was 17. Who knows how this kid turns out, but I am betting he will be decent by the time he graduates, if not before then.
  21. Eeddy was the same thing and look at him. Painter is really good at finding diamonds in the rough when it comes to 7 footers.

    I actually think that will come. If he rebounds and defends, that is what we need out of him and when he scores, that will be the icing on the cake, IMO.

    And Rutgers was down a key player, Geo Baker! OVVVVERRRRAAATTTTED!!!!! Turdue Toiletmakers is probably the shortest time at #1 with a loss!!!! It couldn’t happen to a better team! The lost sleep I had last night, I’ll more than make up for it tonight!!!

    I think they were standing around because the ball stuck in ANC’s hands! I agree, we will continue to get better and we will see incremental improvement from individual players

    Yes he did and he did it again in the 2nd half after he picked up his 3rd foul. He should have pulled him down the stretch though, when he tried to play hero. He should of explained to him that he isn’t the go to guy, TJD is and Race or Parker should be our 2nd/3rd option, not him
