Very true, but he definitely can start at a Power 5. I guess the next 100 days will tell us a lot about next season and beyond.

Sudikolf...thanks for including the interviews,,insightful and interesting..good to hear Ben R. loved to watch that guy play D

Rather than Rubin transferring maybe he can help us pull in some more Chicago kids.!!!. He really has impressed me...when I saw him in the scrimmage I was like he is going to need some time..but he has a maturity level for a young kid....wonder how his brother is doing?

I felt like there was a lot of encouraging stuff in the game vs Creighton and some of the usual bad too, which really bit the team. For the past two seasons, the Ramblers will go through almost every game having stretches of 5-7 minutes where they only get a bucket or two. It seems there was one of these stretches in each half against Creighton costing the team a net of about -12 to -15 points. These stretches are a rinse-repeat from game to game. These stretches shockingly have a nearly identical pattern: a group of turnovers leading to easy buckets and/or extra possessions for the opponent, missed points in the paint, defensive lapses leading to a good look or two from behind the arc, and frequently being upside down on team fouls not allowing any buffer from the foul line or any hope of stopping the opponent's momentum. If we look at 25-30 minutes of the Creighton game, The Loyola University looked like a team that belongs. Against even halfway-decent teams, the Ramblers fumble the game during these dead periods. Against really good teams, the doors get blown off during those dead periods. Ramblers could be a top-half A10 team if they can have the in-game consistency to reduce these long-scoring droughts and stay in games.

Receiving ZERO playing time at UNI.

He'd look great as a starting 6'8" guard at LUC in 2025.

Speaking of which, UNI is in control this am against Texas Tech @ Atlantis.

Creighton got smoked by Colorado St in the championship. 69-48. Shot 6-29 from deep. Woof.

They didn't even look like the same team we played. Crazy how many open shots they missed today.

Maybe they were hungover after celebrating their big win over us
