Man’s win tonight

Circling back to your point - with Grant and Ace on the court together, Martini was a fine choice to insert for those filler minutes alongside two guards (mostly J Will with Jordan spotting - I personally would not play Davis with a smaller front court line up as he’s a poor rebounding guard - but JWill and Jordan together offer enough depth with Dylan as a rotation). That line up would’ve been fine for the stretches without Ogbole.

I still think with no Ogbole or Lathan on the floor is puts Ace at more risk of picking up fouls.

Ace wants to block every shot and already struggles a bit staying on his feet and avoid fouls.

With a small lineup he needs to play bigger so you’re probably going to increase his risk of fouling and he was borderline foul trouble all night. If he picked up that extra foul at any point it completely changes the game.

Latan’s defense was pretty weak last night but it wasn’t just him. Nebraska had a few runs where it seemed like nobody was defending well including guys like Dylan, Grant, Dercack.

In the end Sommerville only played 15 minutes. I don’t think sitting him a whole half is the answer. We need to keep giving him some opportunity to grow and develop. There’s gonna be games where Ogbole is off and we’ll need him.

NCAA Revenue Sharing

That’s because that is not financial assistance. Guaranteed the “walking around money” is small enough it is able to portrayed a something like a per diem replacing meals they miss.
that's exactly what it is but its whether they miss or not. men get 800 gift card per semester plus 1750 per year stipend. Girls get $12 a week in season only. lol

Court level chirping at Nebraska

Several times during the telecast you could clearly and audibly hear court level $hit stirring. Dylan Grant in particular was talking a lot and making his presence felt with blocks and bodying

And Pike — he’s calling out our guys by name, willing them to raise themselves to that next level.

“Cmon Ace!”
“Cmon Dylan!”

It’s incredible. Gotta keep building on whatever this mojo is. Keep chirping.
On the block in 2nd half you could hear Grant yell “ Give me that $hit)

Loved it

“Grant”-ed. It’s time to make the move.

Grant is really growing throughout the season, and it's great to see. Huge upside, and he's playing much more comfortably and within himself on the court. Defense improving, decision making improving. Looking forward to big things from him.

First stint (3 games - Wagner, (n)Texas A&M, @OSU):
20 min, 0 pts, 0-8 FG (.000), 0-5 3P (.000), 0-0 FT (.000), 3 rb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 0 blk, 0 tov, 2 pf

Second stint (4 games - Wisconsin, Purdue, UCLA, @Nebraska)
77 min, 33 pts, 14-23 FG (.609), 4-8 3P (.500), 1-4 FT (.250), 11 rb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 5 blk, 3 tov, 4 pf

OT: Cooking up some LoBro!

Will try this

I thought that lo bro texture wouldnt work in a crockpot?
Anything works in a crockpot over time but the liquid is very important and time wise this takes hours like a slow cook bbq. The meat gets so tender as most do and it's easy to pull apart. I've done three in one pot at the same time so keep rotating them so each has a long time in the liquid. Gravy master can be added and/or worcestershire. An onion in at the start isn't a bad idea. Many possibilities.

OT: Moderate to Significant Snow (and some rain SE of 95) for Sunday, 1/19.

Lol what kind of map is that 2-4 plus?

seems like Dan copped out and didnt make a call for no jersey
0-10" lol and what's with the -2-4"? Is that supposed to be 2-4"- meaning 2-4" but could be less, kind of like 2-4"+ is 2-4" but could be more? Although to be fair if one looks at the NWS low and high maps (<10% chance of each) they show a range of 1-10" for most.

Chris Long reopens recruitment

I didn't even look at their schedule. Just looked.

Losses: Tenn, Clemson, Ga Tech, Miami, SMU, BC, Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Pitt
Wins: Colgate, and maybe UConn.

They will have a difficult time replacing McCord's production. Being generous, maybe they win one of Ga Tech and BC.
That is a tough schedule......................................................... for the ACC.


I see that as 2 wins, 4 toss-ups and 6 losses

GAME 18 NEBRASKA: Step by step, one by one

The bus ride on Sunday to Penn State could be a Great Adventure with the prediction of snow .Timing of departure will be key .Rutgers is moving forward and Penn State is heading downward.Make the foul shots at crunch time and it will be a smooth ride home.
I think it’s more of a coastal storm, so should not be a problem for the bus heading west into central PA.

Manny Ogbole appreciation thread

Huge! Jump ball was so big and he had no business getting it that ball was behind his head.

Don't mess with the starting lineup or anything we've finally found something that is working. He looks like a different guy coming off the bench let him come in and put in that work on the boards (and play more minutes overall).
This is where I'm conflicted. The bench guys have been such a boost you don't want to mess with it, but the starting line up has really been pretty bad together. 3 of the four halves they've played together they've been outscored by like 6 or 7, putting us in holes. I'm not sure if its Acuff or Sommerville I'd change, and also not sure who I'd replace Acuff with, but would like to see him in a spot he can be more assertive offensively.
