Loyer looks the same to me, frail.
lol he's hitting the deck at an unprecedented rate these days.

Bigger guards can still really go at him defensively. Offensively, he's gotten better at handling physicality (see Tennessee and Arizona games).

My biggest gripe with him is when he tries to go all the way to the bucket when it's a lost cause. But the fact that he's confident and able is something you have to live with, and we'll likely need him to have one of those games where he looks like a twerp but keeps getting big buckets late.

It's also been nice to get Colvin some late run, and that Heide has jumped Morton in that defender off the bench role - because he still provides offense in the low volume role.

He doesn't look physically strong (and likely never will) but he's much better functionally than last year. And it shows in his play in March each year:

He's been up and down for most of the year. He's peaking at the right time—a good roll player.

Yep. Last year, he was our 2nd leading scorer and he wasn't ready for that burden. This year, he's our 4th leading scorer as Braden has stepped up and Lance has been great as a transfer. That fits Loyer's skillset much better.

It cracks me up when he drives to the basket, but he does get fouled about 10% of the time.

Michigan State was a one seed. They were ranked #2 by the AP going into the tourney.
That's very possible. Like I said, I didn't look at the records of all the teams going into each tourney. I just picked the ones where the winner had 7 or more losses.
 
Texas A&M Coach thoughts about Nebraska:

ON REACTION WHEN HE SAW NEBRASKA WAS THE DRAW…​

"Nothing. I know they play in the Big Ten. I know Coach Hoiberg has had every job in basketball. Player, all-league player, the mayor, an NBA player, an NBA executive, NBA coach, college coach. I'm somewhat familiar with what his style was when he was the coach at Iowa State, because that's when I was at Marquette. But in regard to Nebraska, I don't know."

Northwestern with 24 wins in a 20 game schedule has a case for the best B1G team of all-time.

Collins was robbed for COTY.
I don't disagree. I think Painter deserved it last year. This year? I just don't get giving it to the coach of the team that is expected to be the best from day 1.

Hey @Jaycg15, @cmore79 and @Fighter of the Nightman, what's the story with this guy? Looks like he is an Illinois reporter?

He’s a POS that 98% of illini fans hate. Hes been a member of several boards and it always ends poorly for him. I outed him at the board that I currently use the most and he was kicked off of it after that. He’s since started his own board but I’m not sure if it’s still going or not.

Illinois athletic department refuses to give him media access and many coaches at Illinois tell their players to not talk to him. I have zero respect for that dope.


Edit: He is 100% not a reporter. He is a fan who contacts recruits and has a Twitter account.

Gotcha. Pretty crazy that Dauster went after him so hard so I figured there is some history there.

He has had multiple dust ups with reporters/fans of Illinois as well as college basketball in general.
