    Season tickets

    Thanks all. I wanted to wait to chime in so as to not start some negative post. I like and respect all the answers, no wrong ones here. I opted out. Last year I was on the fence and had buyer’s remorse. Then I contemplated this year the food and bathroom situation and it didn’t help. Finally...

    Core is back.🩸🩸🩸

    If he’s going to start for us I would rather he had played last year. That’s all I’m saying. And while it’s one thing to say everyone knows we need a back up center who we get is important as they’re going to play the majority of a half of each game. That’s what I mean by weaknesses not yet...

    Core is back.🩸🩸🩸

    While I like the portal gets I’m not sure the needs are fully addressed. Gurdak looks good but he’s what 24-26 mins a game? How we fill the other 16 mins at C is of the upmost importance. I’m concerned Sydnor hasn’t played in a year. Everyone dismissed that with Grant who ultimately flopped...

    Core is back.🩸🩸🩸

    I hope you’re right. I just feel very fortunate last year we had a bad Penn st and Mary twice each, and played the NW and Ore OT games at home.

    Core is back.🩸🩸🩸

    I’m sure they’re all nice people. And they have improved, and I’m sure that will continue. I just can’t get that excited about a returning core that can’t win in the big ten is all. I’ll root for them. Hope they surprise, but it’s not like the core of a sweet 16 team is running it back.

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    Thanks for this thread and to all who added input. Obviously so important who the other teams in conf keep and who they add. Digesting all this it seems our ceiling is about the same seed we had in this year’s big ten tourney.

    What’s the win loss record in those 80? Not trolling just asking. I know of our limitations in roster building, some NIL, some not. Retention can be a good thing but it’s hard to get excited about retaining players who don’t have a winning record under their belt.

    We are deluding ourselves

    Are you asking me if I’m sticking by “a competent coach in the NIL era should be able to produce a bubble team with $10m in 2026-27”? Yes. If Pike can’t get this team to the bubble I don’t think the answer is give Pike and the same staff more money and run it back again.

    We should go after Najia Hines...but will we?

    Eventually you did explain very well how Holloway was similar, and I now understand and appreciate that many of your posts are about correcting misconceptions. Just the initials one was you can’t wait to hear the complainers complain about Holloway in a few years if he was Rutgers coach. It was...

    We should go after Najia Hines...but will we?

    I’m not sure you complaining about people possibly complaining years from now is really correcting a false narrative. Some of your other posts I now see are doing just that but the one I commented on not so much.

    1) it was comical. I also joked the other day that Wooten entered the portal. Geez. Breathe. And 2) yes I did call someone out for stoking fires and basically got an explanation that’s it’s ok in some cases and I don’t understand what that means.

    We just blew our budget on Duarte

    Could Ware follow the Myles Johnson path

    Myles had like a 7’5” wingspan. Ware has nowhere near the frame to even start down Myles’ path.

    So, who’s here for next season (running list):

    Yea I was just busting. But you’re right in today’s age who knows.
