That’s about right in keeping with how our fair state conducts business.

Maybe it was a tactic to light a fire for the seniors if they hear his reaction. I don't think he's going to give up with this team, but it's more frustration that he's tried a lot of things and the team just hasn't gotten better at defending, rebounding, layups.
I think we all had high hopes for Meta and Corey, but after a few games this season it was evident their ceiling has pretty much been reached.
I think AJ was a good pickup to help with offensive rebounding and honestly thought he'd be a solid bench player. He is a very weak starter and we knew that he had trouble finishing at the rim, which we see almost every game, but it's other guys like Burch and Timo that miss easy ones near the rim.

Timo should develop a mid-range jump shot. He would be perfect for that. Burch has a good one and Montana is getting better at it.

For sure - Timo does a nice job getting to the basket - he's super quick for his size, but has trouble finishing. If he develops mid-range he'd have the option to shoot the 3, pull up from mid-range on a drive, or go all the way to the rack.
I really like his upside and what he's shown this season, tho much room for improvement!
Wheeler's mid-range jumper from the FT line is usually $$.

I think Timo has proven to be our most aggressive rebounder. Especially on the offensive end.
I don’t understand why most of our team will turn and head to the defensive end of the court the minute the ball leaves our shooters hands. Look at some of the games we’ve gotten pounded and you’ll see 2-3 of our opponent players under the basket trying for an offensive rebound and a second chance shot.
I would think that they are subject to FOIA for that information.
My understanding is that NIL and the House settlement payments are separate entities. So I don't think the revenue sharing falls under that law.
Yes - revenue sharing is different than NIL - you can do both. NIL is doing an ad for a car dealer, chicken shop, etc. Revenue sharing is the idea that people show up for a game to watch you play so you should benefit from that.
The way that Illinois schools structure their revenue sharing, under state law, is through an exclusive NIL rights deal. So it falls under the NIL law. I also assume that will be updated in a future session of the Illinois legislature.
The NCAA declared it would not enforce any NIL regulation after they lost the 2024 antitrust case-

So for the next year and a half, there was essentially no oversight or regulation of NIL deals, and things got ridiculous with large amounts of NIL money and nobody knew where it was all coming from or where it was going.
Then last October, the NCAA finally adopted a few new rules to try to stop the unregulated NIL money-

But I suspect these new rules were more for show than actual enforcement, since the NCAA still does not really want to get back into policing the NIL money. So since there is not really anyone investigating any of this, it seems likely there is still a lot of "dark money" and cheating going on.

Been saying that all year. We do not follow our shots. Don't know if that's being taught by the coaches but it is a major problem.
ISU Blue game Alex took a shot from the corner and turned and headed down court. If he stayed he would have had to move 10 feet to get his own rebound. Instead an opposing player came 20 feet to get a rebound.
To me Timo is our best rebounder. If he improves by next season as much as he did from last season he will be really good.

They do that because we do not want to give up fast break layups. I do not agree about doing this because rebounding our misses to me is more important as it gives us a better opportunity at second chance points. The other thing I wish we would do on defense is draw charging fouls because this would keep opponents from just putting their head down and driving recklessly to the basket.
