  1. I take him in a heartbeat. 2 months ago this was looking like a throw away season so to me we’re playing with house money anyway. Let him know this is Xs team and reign in his 3 shooting if he’s off. We could have an insanely athletic starting 5 and let Galloway lead off the bench. We would wear teams out so fast.
  2. I generally root for B10 teams with a couple exceptions: 1) Purdue is fine but I don’t want them getting a banner and 2) I despise Iowa/Fran more than any other in the B10 and want to see them lose by 30 round 1.
  3. He made a couple blatantly stupid mistakes at a critical juncture in the second half when I thought Purdue was about to punch back. Killed any momentum they may have had.
  4. Not sure if this has specifically been discussed, but after having watched 3/4s of a season with with the new rule calling flops as technicals, it’s probably been the most welcome and transformative change I’ve seen in 20 years. Gone are the days off guaranteed 1-2 offensive foul charge calls on road games and even last game it was refreshing to see the Rutgers player get called on it for collapsing to the ground after his 3 ball. In seasons past that would have been 3 foul shots. The charge taking thing was so over done and definitely the most annoying aspect of the game to me—it had become a gimmick. I’m impressed the ‘stick’ has been so effective.
  5. He should sit any time he shoots it. At this point the team is doing so many other things well we don’t need that shit.
  6. Exactly. Specifically, the last item on your list is the new dimension he’s added to his game that’s the main opportunity for him at the next level—something he’s really pushed the last month or so in bringing the ball up. He will never be a back to the basket big in the NBA and mastering those things he’s so good at are really great to watch in college, but won’t move the needle for pro scouts. If he can become mobile with that size giving him a variety of tools, then he’s got something. If the perimeter shot is not in the cards yet then so be it. Good for him understanding himself when everyone’s been shouting about developing the outside shot the past few years.
