From his freshman year, I see a player who has improved his field-goal percentage, a player who has improved his rebounding, a player who has improved his assists, and he’s also working on a team with players in which he doesn’t have to do as much as he did in previous years. Oh, and to boot, he did it this year after suffering a really bad injury that knocked him out of half a dozen games, and took several more more games once he did return before he was 100 percent healthy.

So thanks for providing those stats. I always find it insane when people use stats that clearly show they don’t know what they’re talking about. Now answer me this. How does someone who hasn’t improved get named to the league’s preseason All Big 10 team the next year, genius?

I’m sure you know a whole hell of a lot more than all of the coaches and media who selected him.

Fun with stats. I see as a senior
3rd worst assist year
3rd worst point average
3 worst three point shooting total

As a senior his scoring, assist, and three point numbers are all below his career average.

Real simple question, and please don't duck it. If he is scoring less and giving out less assists then the average of his previous years, how is that a obvious huge improvement as a player? Again, please if you have a legitimate answer, and aren't just an internet troll, please write it.

You are embarrassing yourself. Again, his stats.

The media is biased!! It has been forever. The media did not change their bias they changed their position when the party they support won or lost. Based upon your age I am sure you missed it with the transition from Bush to Obama and maybe even from Obama to Trump but it happens every cycle.

The media as a whole has not changed. What you are seeing is the position media outlets take has changed. CNN and MSNBC have taken a less attacking position now that Biden is in office. Fox and Sportsmax are on the attack about everything. The opposite was true when Trump was in power. The fact that all you see is a huge shift is nothing more than self-identification that you do not seek information from a wide perspective but rather from a narrow point of view. Nobody is surprised by this.


never before have we had the broadcast media networks liks cbs, abc, nbc on their nightly news and Sunday talk shows so overly partisan to one side. Its ridiculous when you step back and watch their behavior for 4 years and now in 2021. The false narratives that have been pushed that amounted to nothing and the hysteria over certain things is a danger to journalism and America

I never said he has made "obvious huge improvements" .....I just said he is better now than he was as a freshman.

You're the nut who said he has not improved "at all" in his four years.

I've already proven you are clueless, and showed you how several facets of his game are better now than they were when he was a freshman, despite having a bad ankle injury this season, which limited his improvement from his junior year, where he was showing a huge improvement from his freshman year.. You were wrong. Admit it.

I don't need to further embarrass you. It's so easy it's not even fun. You should just run away and hide now, before too many people read this thread and see just how stupid you look.

Got it. You don't watch the shows you know are increasingly biased because of their tweets.
And because the real new sources I follow make fun of how bad and biased they are. The ones mentioned above. For example, Krystal and Sagaar ran a segment yesterday laughing about how the msm covered biden falling on stairs vs trump grabbing a hand rail (linked below). You can do it to bud, just seek out good news sources.



this was also a good one

And this one i found interesting as well.

So yes, there are good news sources out there that can report facts first, insert their opinion while not trying to pretend their opinion is fact and keep you up to date on the lunacy of the propaganda you watch on cable. I do watch Tuckers opening 10 minute monologue on instagram once in a while as well because he is just a great orator, pretty funny and nails it more often than not. And yes, I watch it not pretending that every word he says is objective

Three interesting stories you posted. I'll give you my perspective which is that there are stories that are good and bad more so than good/bad media. People can only understand that by getting differing perspectives.

First - Really weak story from my perspective but I can see how some think it is relevant. They are trying to dissect how different media covers a completely irrelevant story differently. I think we all agree the media should stop covering irrelevant stories. I would hope that most people don't give a dam that Biden fell or trump stumbled. For those that do that's pretty weak stuff to puff you chest out at. But they like all media, they have to fill the air but stories like this are not good media. Ranks right up there with coverage of the Royal family -- who cares. Even though the memes are hysterical.

Second - The story is how the girls parents failed her not cancel culture. I've always taken the position that you never stop being a parent. My kids are 26 & 28 and her parents/relatives/friends should have given her a heads up years ago. The fact that she never cleaned it us is on her. This stuff is not new btw. At the advent of email decades ago, I had a male friend sit at a female colleagues desk and write and email to another male colleague from the woman's email. Guy got fired like he should have. Within that fortune 500 company, his action helped define a new norm. I could give you other examples. New technology always brings around a definition of what is acceptable. Parents failed. Anyone that thinks this is new is leaving themselves open to failing to understand also. I really have little empathy for those burned by cancel culture since most of it originated by stupid actions.

Third story - I think it is a great story and one that people should understand. When we look at things like voting rights, tax breaks, immigration concerns etc. this context is important. In my opinion there are less "swing" voters than people realize. Winning elections is more about going to the polls and this is why voting access is so contentious and some say bigoted/racist. The geographic party affiliation disparity that were talked about shows how divided this country is. Something that all should recognize.

A lot of you guys continue to be nuts. We’ll never make any sort of progress in this country until people are really willing to open their eyes to the issues on BOTH sides.

Yes, the media has gotten more aggressive, likely driven by social media but also by traditional agendas. More people need to acknowledge that.

But on the other side, more people need to acknowledge that Trump‘s approach (and that of his team) to pretty much anything is also not allowing any of us to move forward. One of his lawyers is literally arguing right now in court (relative to the election fraud claims) that “reasonable people” wouldn’t have agreed with the assertions she was making about the election. You can’t convince me that ISN’T part of the problem.

We need to figure out a way to de-emphasize the extremes who have no interest in anything other than shouting louder than the other side. We’re failing massively at that. Which means not only are we not making any progress, but we’re actually going backwards.

I stand by the stats you posted. He improved in several areas despite a bad ankle. The fact that you are too clueless to see that speaks volumes of you, not him.

He improved enough to be named preseason All Big Ten, and even after missing several games, still made honorable mention All Big Ten... yet not once have you commented on that!

Your basketball knowledge is limited to reading a stat sheet. And not even reading it correctly.

You guys must be kidding with Geo’s year over year stats.

You know he only played a couple minutes in the SH game (he scored one point and that counts in his per average game by the way) and didn’t play in any other games this year against non Power 5. Think that has nothing to do with it. Apples and Oranges. Plus he was hurt both this year and last year and eased back into the rotation. On top of that, he needed to do more the first two years because we weren’t good and had less options.

I will disagree that his ankle had nothing to do with his play down the stretch. He was simply not the same player, post ankle injury as he was pre-injury. Not as athletic or explosive. Probably lost confidence in himself to do things he was doing more regularly in his junior year.

Otherwise, I will agree that he peaked his junior year...but I do contend that his injury absolutely played a part in that.
Well as a former h9gh school,level bball player from the 70s..who has bone chips in both ankles and a brake or 2...I will say there is always the chance it did. I just didn't see any evidence of it effecting his movement. I thought it was all about where he chose to shoot from. And maybe it effected his confidence to go inside.
Cheers.

Thank you for showing your true colors.

Question: do you think the attack on the national capital in early January was a "false narrative", or do you think Trump actually won the election?

Is it a false narrative to suggest that only city-dwelling minorities in 5 states were "cheating" in the polling booth while all the people in states that picked Trump were perfectly clean? Sounds like a false narrative to me. Does that have a racist bent to it?

Trump tried to take away our DEMOCRACY and establish a white supremacist state. Fortunately the judiciary and some republicans with backbone stood up and preserved it - for the time being. All the media outlets that you bash reported this accurately . The courts 100% disagreed with your take on the situation, but as usual you are undeterred.

All these networks that you claim were overly partisan supported democracy and opposed a white supremacist authoritarian nation. Guess we know where you stand, but your true colors have been obvious for a long time.

Question for you and Flux. How is somebody saying they think Fauci is a fraud and untrustworthy a political statement? Are you referring to those links that I can't see or just his statement itself? What does a disagreement with a perceived Medical expert have to do with politics?

Ask yourself this:

Is @sunsetregret a medical expert? If not, what do you think was the basis for his opinion?

What if the opinion is, its not a good cause? Have you studied the issue? What are the implications and ramifications for all sports? How does this impact the equality of all college athletes? Were you a college athlete? Do you know how college athletes get treated? Do you know the perks they get? My guess is you haven’t studied the issue therefore you would be making some assumptions.
Your last line is filled with assumptions. And yes, I did study the issue.

Im thankful for the job Pike has done here,but he needs to get better as an in game coach.The strategy at end of Houston game was a failure and his handling of some players ,and free reign like RHJ to continually shoot the 3 ball at like a 10% clip for final 3/4 of season was questionable.Foul shooting improvement?
As for GEO ,he seemed disinterested at times during this season.I admire his stance on his beliefs and following thru on them,but did it distract his focus on the end prize? Hard to read players attitudes,as a whole tho during covid lockdown season.

Oh Yes, it was CNN who insulted John MCain. It was MSNBC who talked about "grabbing pussies." It was CNN that ridiculed disabled people. It was MSNBC who demonized Mexicans. It was CNN who endorsed violence against political opponents.

Oh how they twisted Trump's kind and noble words to discredit him. It's all their fault.

lol..nope. Well see, at least I asked and tried to understand the position/logic vs. telling somebody what they thought and why. (that's a general comment about things today and not specifically directed at you).

Waking up at 4am cause I still can't get that game out of my head. But as for this thread, I can do that.
