Would definitely take him

Fair enough. Then maybe he needs more say on this team.

I agree - I think Medved has his way of doing things. Ben has his way. Maybe Thorson had more input there and less here - Or vice versa. I'm wondering if Ben is open to Thorson talking about what worked / didn't at CSU. He should be, if he's not. Seems like CSU has done OK without Thorson...

30-0 run....what? How are Illinois fans feeling right now? You've gotta consider it a great year but that's a tough way to go out.

I get your point but 2 weeks ago didn't Payne say he was excited about what this group could do next year? Mitchell will be coming back though clearly it appears.

I'd think Betts should contribute next year and hopefully surprise us a little bit. He was a decent recruit and has good size. Seems like he is supposed to be able to shoot a little bit too. There's definitely talent with the current guys still on this roster. Can they get coached up? Have...

Unreal, it really is amazing

Tubby Smith had us in NCAAs 3 out of his final 5 years. He's the only competent hire of the past 3 coaches. Richard was not ready for this job, and even he had us in 2 out of his 5 final years. Was way down on the list for Teague who really botched that coaching cycle. It's really not out of...

That was the best basketball game I've watched this year Unbelievable

This game is fantastic - Gotta be the 2 clear best in D2 Both very good at their style of play NSU is tough man - Hoping Mavs can pull it out

Agreed that would be ideal, but missing the tournament this year and the following years likely don't matter for Ben. He'll be done. It's a tough spot right now.

I agree you can't fault Garcia. But Garcia 1 on 1 won't win most games as we've seen. We either need a better offensive system OR better players around Garcia. I'd say a little of each is needed.

I refuse to believe we can't do what Iowa / Wisconsin teams do.

I did see from Ryan James article that Morgan is headed to NEB for his next visit. News, but not the type we want.

Morgan is the first official visit - Any sources for who else we get on campus would be appreciated. Not much time to swing and miss this year.

We should not be compared to Northwestern. We should always be better. NW is a terrible job and they found the best coach they could ever hope for in Collins.

Alright maybe I was riding the wave of being pissed off about Payne hitting the portal too hard, Garcia is likely the better player. I will say though, Garcia needs to be able to play better team basketball. His best games were when we just handed him the ball to go score 1 on 1. We didn't win...

Sounds like it

I really like Payne, but I really don't like his back problems.

So here we are at this point: Asuma Hawkins Mitchell Christie Betts Grove Garcia Fox 5 Transfer Spots Available I'm pessimistic on Ben, but this roster isn't that bad to build on. *Pending further departures
