The Big Ten Tournament is one day away. I know it’s been a rough season, but we all still like to dream and hope for a magical run. I mean, we’ve had flashes of potential where I would say I wish we could play like this all the time.
So here’s my question…
If you had to pick one player to step up and be the difference maker in our BTT chances, who would it be, how would they do it, and why would they be the difference maker?
Would it be Ace popping off? Martini/Ogbole being the rim defender we’ve been needing? JWill being a reliable floor general? Grant being the second coming of Dennis Rodman? lol.
For me, it’d be Acuff being the consistent spot up 3-point shooter that we’ve always needed. Mainly because I think it’s entirely feasible, but we haven’t tapped into it enough. When we were blitzing Michigan in the first half of the second game, he was a critical part of that run. It was wild how on-point we were on offense. Somehow we got away from him in the second half. If we are to beat teams like Purdue, we absolutely need to keep pace in scoring and Tyson definitely has to play a part in that and open things up for Dylan and Ace.
