The departures of John Beilein and Thad Matta, along with the aging of Tom Izzo, are really having a noticeable effect on the Big Ten. 

Painter really has taken advantage of the exodus of establish coaches.

I personally wasn't impressed with PU tonight. Thought less of UM.

I was at the USI game, I thought PU should have won it 15+ until I looked at the score since Um is missing some guys I think

 Matt Painter's coaching is light years ahead of Juwan Howard.

But how do Painter's boxing skills compare to Howard's?

Painter tried the Rocky approach by punching a side of beef but stopped 2 punches in and ate the whole damn thing.

If Edey were 3" shorter and 30 lbs lighter he'd be a JAG. He really isn't special outside of being a modern giant.

I've said this before. Edey's greatest "skill" is being so big and not being a total stiff at the same time.

I don't think it's arguable that TJD is the more complete player...Edey is just huge and on the number 1 team in the country.  

Looking at them side by side....

Year Avg: 

- Edey avg. - 21.4 pts, 13 reb, 2.3 blocks 1.3 assists. 

- TJD avg. - 19.7 pts, 10.8 reb, 3.2 blocks, 3.4 assists. 

Over the last 7 games:

- Edey avg. - 20 pts, 12 reb, 2 blocks, 1.7 assists. 

- TJD avg. - 24 pts, 14 reb, 4 blocks, 4 assists

If TJD keeps this up, not sure how they give it to Edey over TJD.

How do you only average 2 blocks a game when you’re behemoth-feet tall.

Note: From the perspective of someone who greatly contributes to the definition of short.

I saw some stats the other day (I'll see if I can find them) and other teams just don't attack the rim that much when Edey is in the game. It's also part of why he doesn't foul a ton.

Now, he should probably average more blocks and definitely more fouls, but he doesn't have as many opportunities for either as a TJD or Dickinson according to the numbers.

[rcbowla 7,513]

I say take it at Edey over and over again until he's in foul trouble or out. Eventually you'll get enough calls on him and then you're playing a not very good team after that. May give them a 10 spot but I'd imagine you can get that back at that point.

Wasn't this the game where Knight said something to the effect, I thought we were in trouble until I looked down at the other bench and saw Dale Brown, and then I knew we had a chance?

Not sure.  I know he said it but I’m not sure if it was this game

Wouldn't that be competitive face slapping rather than boxing?

Oh I need to rewatch. Been awhile. Underrated sheehey game, underrated yogi defense game, Crean went to Zeller every time down the stretch: perfect. Beilein should’ve been less sentimental with seniors in the first half.
