Trent Lockett granted release to be "closer to home" UPDATED (4/10): Marq Leading What would be closer to "home" than the U of MN? This could be a huge transfer if he chose the Gophers. However, I want to note that while I'd be excited if he came here, it's definitely under horrific...

I'm anything but old-fashioned, but I can't for the life of me figure out why Amelia & Marcus focus so much on Rodney's # of dunks compared to Joe's, or someone's lack of dunks, or how many dunks so and so has this year? Seriously, they mention it at least every other article and/or tweet. I'm...

Well...I know the board will be in meltdown mode, and probably justifiably so...but how about a few positives? 1. Williams with 19 and 14 2. Coleman always attacking, 14 pts, 6 rebs, 3 steals, 2 assists and only 1 TO. I think he proved that giving him more playing time was a really good move...

Or do people just not care to write anything? Or is everyone just too frustrated? 0 posts, only 3 people in the chat room...do people even know we have a game tonight?

Since a number of folks seem to disagree on this one, I thought I'd pose the poll above to the board.

I know they lost at home to Cal Poly 42-36, lost @ home to Nebraska, barely squeaked by Cal State Northridge and Morgan State, are 326th in the country in pts/game, 327th in rebs/game, shoot 44% from the field, and 29% from 3, but my Lord, they are an awful team.

I saw something even crazier the other night...112 members and 950 guests browsing the forum?! I just have to say, everyone out there reading, JOIN THE SITE! It's really easy to do, and the more members we have the more fun it gets with debate, discussion, etc. You know you want to.

Teams simply can't go on 25-5 runs with no timeouts called, and no change in our defensive approach. News flash; we were getting torched from 3, with Dayton had little to no inside game to speak of. We're talking a team that was picked to finish 6th in the Atlantic 10, looking like a bunch...

I know many issues going on right now, but I can't for the life of me figure out why Coleman is getting 4-5 min a game. Especially in a game like this tonight, where it was a basic run and gun game, everyone slashing and pushing the ball, Coleman gets 3 minutes?!?! If anything, see what he...

I just figured I'd consolidate what will be a lot of bantering into one thread. Note: I don't even plan on participating, just didn't want 15 different threads on it wasting space on the board.

Since it was buried in another thread, I figured I'd start a new thread as it appears to be worthy of it. Given JohnnyGopher's sources and track record of insider info over the past few years, I figured his insight on the issue would be worth more than anyone else's. Which is what gives me the...

2010-11 All-Big Ten Men’s Basketball Team As selected by Big Ten coaches FIRST TEAM Jared Sullinger, Ohio State JAJUAN JOHNSON, Purdue E’Twaun Moore, Purdue Jon Leuer, Wisconsin Jordan Taylor, Wisconsin SECOND TEAM Kalin Lucas, Michigan State Trevor Mbakwe, Minnesota William Buford, Ohio State...

I think confidence is a huge thing in the game of basketball, perhaps one of the most important qualities that a player can possess. Williams, Iverson, and Ahamnisi seem to be our 3 players that play on an entirely different level with confidence. Rodney: if he scores early, or hits a jumper...

Maybe it's worked in the past, but Tubby's "motivational" rants, calling out players doesn't seem to be working so far in Iowa City. If anything, the guys look more tentative out there. They're not playing with any confidence whatsoever; they look scared to make a single mistake.

Now, I realize he's a freshman. However, he seems to have at least a decent skill set in being able to get the ball up the court, he's shooting a decent percentage, etc.? The only problem I see are his turnovers, but in fairness to him, he often gets thrown into the game for 2-3 min at a time...

Michigan State down 24-6 to Iowa @ Iowa right now...ouch!

After looking at some recent games, I don't think many people appreciate how ridiculously tough it is to win on the road in the Big 10. Look at Purdue; they shell MSU at home and look like great. Next game at OSU, they get run off the court, and look like they don't belong in the A-10. They...

You're right. He'd probably be the first one saying it himself. Does anyone think that it's his natural position, or a position he even truly wants to play? And most importantly, if we want to win...does he have a choice? It's pretty obvious that if we had ANYONE else that Tubby felt was a...

Nadine: "I have a bad feeling that Mbakwe will not have good news coming his way" Her Tweet a few minutes ago. This doesn't sound good.

I know Maturi is Maturi, but does anyone think Mbakwe will miss any time over this? If what's being reported is true, I don't even see him missing the Purdue game? Especially considering he wished her well after finding out she wasn't doing well lately. How can you sit a kid for that?!
