Quote from: wadesworld on February 12, 2026, 03:45:27 PMI mean by "out of necessity" because none of the juniors or seniors stepped into that role this year.

Royce should've been starting from day 1, but let's not pretend he was playing well early in the year.  Through the Wisconsin game he was averaging 7.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assist, 0.6 block, 0.6 steal, and 1.1 turnover per game in 21.2 minutes per game, shooting 40.5% from the field, 20.6% from 3, and 57.1% from the line.  His minutes would have been higher against Albany (18) if it wasn't a blowout, Little Rock (18) if it wasn't a blowout, had 4 fouls against Maryland but still played 25 minutes, and Valpo (18) if he didn't have 4 fouls.

I'm 50/50 with wades on his takes, but he's right about this one. Royce was bad to start, which sucked, cause that meant minutes for Caedin, worst player to put on the MU uniform in the last two decades.

Damn, loved having him nearby.
Sheek starred for BBE so that's gotta be a decent landing spot for us, no?

Quote from: BM1090 on February 12, 2026, 07:28:10 PMI'm pretty cynical, but considering plenty have really good stories about him, I think it's more likely he's a really caring dude for those in his life and has some major, major flaws

I think going back "home" to WVU/Morgantown fundamentally changed and softened him, off the court at least.  No it didn't fix or alleviate his terrible drinking problem, but like we've said, a complicated and flawed individual can still have many good qualities.

It reminded me a bit of the father of a friend of mine.  Very accomplished cardiologist, good dad, really charitable and philanthropic in his community.  But he had a shockingly well hid and secret alcoholic streak for 2 decades.  Part of his philanthropic work also led to a really good relationship with the police in the semi-rural community, where my friend grew up on a big hobby farm, who helped cover up/look the other way on a few DUIs.  It all came to light when he wrapped his car around a lamp pole at 6:30 one night and it couldn't be hidden anymore.

So yea, alcoholics are complicated.  Some are complete unrepentant POS's (like my grandfather actually!) and some are otherwise very kind/loving/caring people who have a really insidious condition that can lead to really bad stuff that runs directly counter to their better selves.

Lets put it this way, Bobby Knight was an absolute basketball savant and hilarious in a reckless, unfiltered sort of way with the press or as a commentator.  But he was also pretty widely accepted as a dickhead.  I don't think the same is true for Huggins

Throwing your elbows around after a board should be a penalty regardless of making contact. It's so unnecessary

UW-Green Bay looked good tonight. 10-6 in the Horizon. Gottlieb!  Perfect landing spot for Tre Norman, Caedin Hamilton and Sean Jones. Sandy Cohen took his talents to GB...this trio should too! Do it!

Duke Brennan took his right hand off the ball so that he could elbow Marquette's best player in the face and it was only a Flagrant 1? What does it take to get a Flagrant 2? He easily could have given him a concussion, broken his nose, etc. It was so clearly intentional and there is no place in the game of basketball for that. Definitely should have been ejected. Now everyone thinks that won't get you ejected from a game so look for it to happen more often. Absolutely stunned that he wasn't ejected.
