Tim Miles is fantastic

he seems like the most genuinely happy person on the planet 

they played really well last night...atmosphere at Pinnacle Bank is remarkable, best i've seen in the Big Ten all year...they only lost one home game all year and that was to Michigan, by one point 

heres my picks for All-Big Ten

First Team

Nik Stauskas (POY)

Gary Harris

Devyn Marble

Terran Petteway

Frank Kaminsky

Second Team

Yogi Ferrell

Aaron Craft

Tim Frazier

Drew Crawford

Adreian Payne

Freshman of the Year

Noah Vonleh

Coach of the Year

John Beilein & Tim Miles

coach of the year is too close to call...Michigan loses Burke, Hardaway and McGary and still finished first...Nebraska was picked to finish dead last and they wind up fourth and a great chance to make the NCAA tournament

For you guys saying LVille could/will get the last #1...I respectfully disagree...there's almost no way.

A lot of teams are still above them...Michigan, Villanova, Wisconsin (even though they lost), Duke, Virginia...

ALL of those teams would have to lose and LVille would have to win out...and I still think they wouldn't be to the 1 line yet.

My school Towson got bounced out of their conference tourney today. I was for sure this was the year that they'd make it into the big dance, oh well maybe in another ten to fifteen.

That hurt man. Was there on Saturday and had a great time. W&M deserved that win though. They came with the exact same game plan they had last Saturday when we beat them in the final regular season matchup, just this time Thornton's shots were dropping. I hope we don't have a huge decline in success next year.

W&M hit some shots that they normally wouldn't , those string of threes in the second half had me like

, especially that one where dude hit it off the glass. The other thing that bothered me is that I think Benimon was trying to do to much in the second half. I know he is the best player on the team but he has a lot of talent around him, why are you driving in the lane when there are three dudes waiting for you? Dish it out for the open shot. Any chance they make the NIT?

[osh kosh bosh]

I think Jermi Grant and Tyler Ennis are both better than CJ Fair.

 

[awwsome]

Marcus Paige flourishing

I think he's going to show out in the tournament

 

[seymore cake]

^ Hope he goes pro.

 

[awwsome]

Paige vs Tyus battles would be legendary though but yea he's going, his stock is higher than JMM

I've been watching all year and he constantly tries to drive with 3 defenders on him or waiting for him. All he needs is for it to work once and he'll try it the entire game. I think we have an outside shot at the NIT. If not hopefully they at least get a CBI or CIT invite.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Yeah I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Marcus Paige stock aint anything, he's not a first round pick. might as well stay and enjoy the UNC big man on campus yambs,

un guaranteed contract can wait.

 

[ricardo malta]

I think Jermi Grant and Tyler Ennis are both better than CJ Fair.

Not sure you can say they both had a better season than Fair did from start to finish.

 

[awwsome]

If Paige balls out in the tournament, he'll go first round, draft is not that deep.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I don't want to bog this down with draft talk.

Ill just say this.

6'2 combo guards don't have a history of going in the first round.

I'm going to be a homer and say LJ Peak turned into a ******* monster this year. Had he stayed at Whitney Young that team would have been ridiculous. Happy he got some national recognition.

 

[frshstunna]

I think Jermi Grant and Tyler Ennis are both better than CJ Fair.

Not sure you can say they both had a better season than Fair did from start to finish.

Yea CJ is def was the best player and leader on that team all season...Ennis was clutch and solid and Grant was cool some games
