Nice run, Boo on the court so likely just gave Greer the start for senior night.

Greer with 4 of our 6 when he goes to the bench. No playing the hot hand because script

Cats with a nice lead, and shooting the ball really well. If Young could get up to dunk, he’s have 4 more points tonight.

Hard to imagine things will go this well in the second half, but that was a great half! Only one (very debatable) turnover, as well.

I don’t think Young could dunk even if he was on a trampoline.If he comes back he will be our starting center with a decent supporting cast around him.Well we will see.Still have a couple games left this year.Lets have a good 2nd half and finish this game strong.

How can a 6’10 player not dunk?

Really lame comment…you care more about your own agenda than how the team does.
What is my own agenda? Ryan Young is our most efficient player. Collins grossly utilizes him. My only agenda is going to every game, which I do, and seeing us consistently win.

He’s dunked multiple times in his career. Not often but it’s been done.

Ok, embarrassment timeout time. Lead down to 11 on some dumb playing.
I was hoping Collins would call a timeout after they cut it to 13 because we looked lost, and right on cue we turn the ball over and they cut it to 11.

Battle is only a Sophomore. This dude has some considerable time to continue to torch people.

IL is down by 5 at home to IA. I hope they come back or there will be a well worded letter to the commish

IMO, you did not need to repeat something negative about our coach that you already placed on another board minutes earlier in the midst of senior night and a great first half. Haven’t we talked about Young enough, or you just needed to do it then too? It’s obvious Collins does not think his offensive efficiency is enough to have him see the floor more. There’s more to the game than offense, so maybe he has a few reasons, or maybe he’s wrong. I’m personally not a believer that we become a markedly better team giving Young lots more minutes. I’m just as tired hearing you and others on this rant as you are about Collins not playing him more. Let’s try to enjoy senior night. Hopefully, more so than Coach K did.

My man Audige is the embodiment of that meme of the cat looking in the mirror and seeing a lion as his own reflection.

Why are we going to turtle ball with 3 minutes left still?

Can someone explain to me why CC was substituting Greer/defense for Beran/offense?

I don't think Pete is coming back next year, he was definitely saying "thank you for everything" as he was hugging the coaches when he came out.
