Grove played like a guy (and has played all year) the coaches told “you can’t get in foul trouble or we won’t be able to play any bigs.” I do see some potential
After Willis went out, having Langston bring the ball up is malpractice, and to add to that, most of the time Ike was running ahead to go stand in the corner, for god knows what reason, but that is the set the coach runs, leaving ZERO outlets for LR and his greasy handles.
JCJ is being put in a bad spot having to guard out of position, and looks uncomfortable and has to have a really high work rate to tackle the bigger or faster guys he has to guard.
Kai shows a lot of hustle
Willis logged 4 minutes and 7 other guys played. Turner not getting a minute, again, is worrisome
This team, right now, has more problems than a math book.

1. Asuma has too much talent to do so little....
2. Turner is fat and I'm betting this is a little message to him to get his ass in shape. They were desperate for rebounding and he couldn't get off the bench.
3. Willis can't shoot and is now hurt....
4. Reynolds should be playing on the intramural team where his 7th grade level ball-handling wound't be an issue.
5. I don't know who they are going to beat in the B10.....it's gonna be a historically bad season.

We don't have size. We don't have Big Ten athletes. We don't have Big Ten talent, other than Tyson.
Lack of size, length or quickness makes development difficult at this level for the future...to actually be good we need different players and/or different talent evaluators. When it comes to checking boxes on the what our stengths are...we don;t do much elite. Junk yard dogs....none of those either...quick, relentless, hustling, hungry...to make up for lack of skill or talent.
Vaiola helps the team a lot with his screens to get guys driving lanes and shots. Have not seen Omot....hopefully, he helps but we are short 3 guards.
