Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Drink one, see how you feel, then go for that second. Five. . .

Did Meyer talk about pounding Monster Energy to play COD in the same media availability as expressing his concern about Jayden Epps? I’m getting whiplash.

ā€œWe’re all very concerned about Jayden, and for his future, also I gave myself a killer headache by taking Monster Energy intravenously.ā€

ā€œTerrance, does what Hunter said about Illinois fans bother you or make you want to win for the fans?ā€
ā€œNo. Whatever Hunter says it doesn’t bother me.ā€

Love that. :rofl:

Wish that players would say that more often in ā€œrivalriesā€ like this when reporters try to spur them on. Mayer was the same way. No man, we are just trying to win a basketball game.

I also love Mayer breaking down his advanced stats.

ā€œI’ve told Coach Underwood what my mindset has been. I believe in shooting threes and try to shoot as many as possible, and I’m 6-9. So the efficiency I’ve done it with… if you look at my numbers, it might not look that efficient. Its 36% from three 42% from the field but true shooting is my favorite number and that’s been pretty good and I always maintain a low turnover rate so I think he believes in what I’m saying.ā€

Between this and the Monsters, you need to get Matthew on the pod.

I also like that he is trying to convince Underwood in the legitimacy of advanced stats

Reminds me of a lab mate I had back in the day at UofM. He would carry around a gallon sized tub of powdered caffeine and just ingest if plain when needed. Very strange and was not at all worried about the possibility of accidentally OD’ing on powdered caffeine.

Maybe someone should let Mayer know there are more efficient methods out there.

I usually don’t like the concept and the over use of ā€œcoach speak,ā€ but this is coach speak. I mean, what’s he gonna say, ā€œMichigan is terrible and all we have to do is show up and we win?ā€

Chocolate-covered coffee beans, son.

I think the kid may have passed out in practice, but obviously I have no real idea. Prayers for the kid. Obviously we want to win but not at the expense of the health of a player.

Well…is an airball caught by the defensive team a TO. Probably should be!

Illinois radio says concussion for Epps

Shannon’s injury definitely made it sound like he got caught or took a shot.

Feels like Illinois has had a ton of concussion issues recently but might just be selective memory.
