    Adding guys mid season

    Yep...and this is a culture building year. The guys they have are building that and playing in the system. That's how you build the foundation.

    Through 12 Games, Cade Tyson leads the B10 in scoring @ 22.8 per tilt

    The nice thing is that the strategy of this offense isn't...hey Dawson, go make a play. The strategy is constant player and ball movement. So while opposing defenses will concentrate on Cade, it is tougher to do so against movement.

    Gosh that kid is a tall drink of water. Has he grown? It appears that he is taller than the 6-6 or 6-7 I thought he was.

    Through 12 Games, Cade Tyson leads the B10 in scoring @ 22.8 per tilt

    If Cade ends up scoring 18 + a game this year- which I suspect he will- Niko has a GREAT story to tell to future portal guys and for that matter, all recruits. A guy that couldn't get off the bench at UNC is looking like a star here. Guys are getting better under Niko from what I can see so...

    ***OFFICIAL CAMPBELL AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I doubt that we will ever have big money. But I think with revenue sharing, we will have enough money to get really good players- not superstars but guys with skills that fit the system and have the size and athleticism to compete at this level. I think with the right scouting Niko can find the...

    I can't wait to see how this system works with better talent in the future.

    How Taylor ever got rich is beyond me. He seems to screw up everything he touches- at least in his old age.

    ***OFFICIAL TEXAS SOUTHERN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    You may be right. I thought I had heard he was much heavier in his first year of college and maybe he is on his way to where he needs to be? Not sure. Niko knew he was getting a guy that was overweight, that much is for sure.

    The other alternative is to get him to lose weight. He'd be reasonably athletic if he were 30 pounds lighter. I'd love to see him do what Mo Walker did here.

    A good comparison of two inherited programs: Gene Keady - won about 61% of Big Ten games Matt Painter -won about 65% of Big Ten games So he took a great program and marginally improved it Bo Ryan- won about 71% of Big Ten games Greg Gard - has won about 61% of Big ten games Not bad but he...

    This isn't that hard. Hoiberg had a history that showed he could win. Ben had no such history, ever. He is a good guy who took a job he was fated to fail at- because he had no history that would carry him through the rough waters. To recruit at a high level, a coach has to make players believe...

    Nebraska has Mast, who is terrific, and they played hard on both ends of the court last night. Their talent doesn't bring to mind top teams but they are a solid squad that will look great when they play as hard as they did last night. They run the same stuff Niko does on offense but with the...

    This is not the Wisconsin defense of old. Nebraska is getting anything they want. By the way- Sam Hoiberg is actually a good player. There is no way that I would have believed 2 years ago that the 6 foot Hoiberg could be the starting PG on a winning team. But he is. It turns out that players...

    I get it with Turner, he gets lost on defense at times. But you physically have zero shot with Grove in there. Turner at least is a big body on the boards and setting screens. Grove may be a player at some point but he is 20 pounds of muscle away from that. Whatever the case, there was a huge...

    29-2 run in the 2nd half. I don't think I have witnessed a stretch like that- even from the Gophers. Ouch. Purdue is 12-15 in the half

    This is pretty impressive - they had a chance to fold and didn't. Down 5 is pretty respectable considering the foul differential.
