IU has to play another guard. Which one will he turn to if X misses time. Gunn will get more minutes but they can’t play with just Cupps, Trey, and Gunn.

Galloway played some point last year.

If X is only out for one game I wouldn’t be surprised to see Trey (35), Cupps (25) and Gunn (20) eat up the 80 guard minutes. There might be a few minutes with Banks virtually as a 2 or perhaps Leal will get a few minutes.  Hope I’m wrong but I think it’s going to be ugly.

Your looking at, and linking, an article from early June.  Since then UW and Oregon joined so those schedules were “blown up” and the BT released new schedules today.  
We are no longer getting the schedule  “break” we thought we were getting in June.

Also, main take away. 
 

If we can keep him, Tayven Jackson will be a damn good QB here. I’m not sold on Allen at all, but Walt Bell is the biggest question mark to me. Not a lot of faith in him. He’s digging us holes with conservative play calling. 
 

Tayven showed he can air it out today. Let him loose.

He has already transferred once so would have to sit out a year if he transfers again. Have to think that helps us keep him.

Has there been any indication/info as to why Durr has sat the last two games? I hope it’s not because he got caught hanging out with Snoop Dog because that’s typically three games and I think the Illinois/Kofi game is one of the primary games in which we need him.

Yet you posted. Thanks.

Yep, I’m not going to start it but will respond.

Your welcome.

you'll be safe now!  no way you'll get Covid or the flu if you got the shots.

I don’t know why this stuff continues to get mentioned on a sports forum but since it is…….it’s incomprehensible that people joke about the effectiveness of the vaccines. Literally NO ONE said they would 100% prevent covid just as no vaccine is 100% effective. They are, however, indisputably saving lives, reducing hospitalizations  and there are daily sad stories of people needlessly dying because they were not vaccinated.

PS, Great win today.

No turnovers in the normal offer... it is tough turnover when you steal the ball and get called for traveling because you cannot really land.

Yes, that was a bs call. He ratio was actually 9-0. His improvement (settling down yet still having a high motor) is a huge development for the team.

Really liking how X has been running the team lately. The “out of control” ratio has gone way down and he consistently plays hard.

Is Durr injured or suspended

After the previous game Woody was asked about Durr not playing and just said “coaches decision”.

Durr must still be in the dog house

No Kofi, and Donta Scott...

Thanks.

Figured it was either Illinois injuries or a MD player had the game of his life.

My god, Maryland. 

How in the hell did they beat Illinois by 16?

Crazy has the refs have completely changed how they're calling the game the last 5 or so minutes. 

I don’t even mean against one side or the other, they've just changed what a foul is and isn't. 

That's horrible officiating.  

That’s one of my biggest issues with BT refs. One half they let guys get mauled but then call chippy fouls the other half.

Keen eye for the obvious but…….really hope we get off to a good start in the second half. Avoid 8 points in 8 minutes and we can get the W.

I've not watched a game this season and thought that. We had 3 and 4 subs on the court plenty of the time, in the first half. And I was told since last TH the starters WERE the problem? I can't keep it all straight.  Durr was suspended, so that obviously gave more mins to other people. 

Maybe I missed it but I don’t recall anyone saying all 5 starters were the problem.

Seemed to be more complaints when all 5 starters were taken out at the same time (hockey line substitutions) and complaints that both Stewart and Kopp shouldn’t start together which is quite a bit different than saying the starters (all 5) were the problem.

I missed that

There will a lot of players that want to take a extra year asked to move on at a lot schools. That is going to make the portal even crazier

 

The portal will be crazy. As an example all 13 of our scholarship players are eligible to come back next year and we have three incoming recruits. Three current guys have to go. Nearly everyone assumes TJD is leaving which means, if true, we still need two more departures. Going to be a bit crazy.

Woody had kind of an interesting demeanor when he said Durr not playing at all was a coaches decision. Not quite sure what to make of it.

Woody just mentioned KL not being able to play but getting him ready so I guess the medical redshirt rumor isn’t true.

Prior to Nebraska I hoped we would go 3-1 in the next 4.

We did so, although I thought the loss would probably be to PU rather than UM, and it would be good (but more challenging than the current 3-1 run) if we can go 2-2 the next 4. 
 

One more step to the tourney.

He's already played this year, how can he redshirt?  Are they going to say its medical?

Medical redshirt is a rumor. If true, not sure why the program wouldn’t say so.

Not terrible second half. Terrible last 4 minutes. Penn state was bound to start hitting a few. But they are just getting wide open looks now. Team is tired. 

It wasn’t just the last 4 minutes as we only had 2 buckets in the first 9 1/2 minutes of the second half.

When our D is really locked down…Man o man.

Good to get the W and move on.

Look at Leal in Geronimo’s ear. Not on the court but imo MVP as a teammate

That was good to see.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Leal get a few minutes.

Great first half, except for Rob, so I hate to nitpick but 2 buckets in 10 second half minutes is not optimal.

Loved the effort right out of the gate following a disappointing performance vs Michigan. Good to see how the guys reacted/responded.

Penn State has 12 offensive rebounds 

That’s not bad off 100 missed shots

Nice feed by X. He is having a good game and his defense has been  relentless.
