@salukiworld I still have my Wonders Saluki Jersey. I wish he had stayed.
I do too. Even if you make the argument that Brown has had a good season at the 2, Brown is gone in March (or April if Southern makes the Final Four) whereas Wonders has two more years. Wonders clearly had talent; it's a shame he and the coaches couldn't get on the same page about his playing time and future.
There is a lot of roster-building work to be done in the backcourt this spring.
Don't see Wonders ahead of Davis or Ferguson that would've been his position as I don't believe he is a good defender he would have been a liability on defense spelling Brown but that is my opinion
Glad Wonders had a good game. He was definitely a good shooter. I thought he had trouble guarding athletic players and being guarded by athletic players. Wish him and the other ex-Salukis nothing but the best, except when Banks plays us.
I still feel the loss of Verplancken was the biggest loss other than the two obvious ones.
Foster Wonders just hit a game winning 3 for 17-9 first place Green Bay

Big 10 Conference stats:
Jones averages 29.8 minutes/game for Purdue, 3rd most. 2nd in scoring at 14.8 ppg. Shooting 37.7% from three. Shooting 87.2% FTs. Only 22 TOs. 2 assists/game, 17 stls.
Domask averages 36.8 minutes, most on the Illini. 2nd in scoring at 18.7 ppg. Shooting 35.6% from three. Shooting 88.3% FTs. 37 TOs, 4 steals, 3.9 assists/game.
Filewich is having a nice season for Wofford, averaging around 9/9. I don't really want him back, but I'm glad he has found a home.
BTW, he is actually a worse FT shooter than Ebube! I had forgotten that he was terrible at that.
(Inflammatory political snark)
Domask with 31 points/8 rebounds in his return to Wisconsin

In that game he once again played "too many minutes" at 35. In fact, 6 starters, between the two teams, played more than 35 minutes, including one @ 37 minutes, one @ 38 and one @ 39 minutes. I watch WAY more basketball than my wife wants me to (it's one of my vices) and it is incredibly common for a player to play 35-38 minutes per game. I assure you, it is not just an XJ (SIU) scenario.
watched him play in the vmi game yesterday. He was on a good roll and I dig the mustache and headband look he is rockingFilewich is having a nice season for Wofford, averaging around 9/9. I don't really want him back, but I'm glad he has found a home.

Illinois/Purdue tied at 64 with 4:15 left on Peacock. Jones is struggling but Domask is coming up big in the clutch
Illinois lost but Marcus was the man. What a game for him
Marcus has to be all-conference. Jones All-Newcomer. Mast All-Gargoyle. Krikke All-GladToGetTheHellOutOfValpo.
Good for Lance. He has really helped Purdue. Could have helped us more if he hadn't been at the point.
