We take care of home court and win at Illinois, we'll be in good shape. Maybe not to win the Big Ten but get a good seed in the tournament. |

I seriously doubt benching Troy for three games is going to improve his attitude. |

He had been doing much better before today. He reverted back to hedging way too far. |

Well it can't hurt. Crean has tried other things and that hasn't worked. Why not try this? |

the "funny" thing is...going into the season we were wondering if we could keep JBJ and troy for another year prior to turning pro. and i have to say, and i'm sure i'm not alone...1) the team really did start to play better complete ball after JBJ went down and 2) if troy is not going to be in the right mind, we're a better team without him on the court as well. yogi will be missed next year for sure. but if people come back and actually improve, embrace the idea of defense and above all else look to compete every minute of every game...next year could be interesting. though i don't think it can be a team that relies on the 3 as much. don't know...but it's an interesting situation. |

OG was a +6 yesterday. I don't agree with the idea of benching Troy for 3 games. His issue isn't lack of effort. It's lack of focus and control. Personally, I'd like to see him come off the bench. Not as a punishment, but just so we can see what OG can do with some serious minutes. As for next year, a lineup of Rojo, Hartman, Morgan, OG and Bryant would be a huge lineup that could really cause havoc defensively. Of course, it's much more likely Blackmon and maybe Troy are starters next year again. |

Well nonetheless, something has to happen to Troy because his current role of starting isn't paying big dividends. Still would like to see the dude benched for 3 games, that should get his focus back, IMO. As far as Hartman, that guy plays hard but he needs to look for his shot more. I think he looks to drive and pass a lot. Seems like he shot it more last year than this year. He can make big shots. Edited by dedicatedIUfan, Feb 16 2016, 06:38 AM.

we're not benching TW for 3 games, let alone should we. could he start from the bench and come on as a sub...sure. i could like that. but the truth is we need troy if we think we are going to win anything or make any noise down the stretch. i will say, though, as much as we need troy...and we do...think it's also time to understand he's not a great a player. he's a great athlete and an average DI player. that's what he is. if he comes back for his senior year...i will expect more of the same. |

We aren't winning the Big Ten, but we can make some noise in the Big Ten and NCAA tourney. We need to look at the big picture. |

Well at least make him earn his starting role again!! I say bring him off the bench, IMO. |
