I am starting to wonder if Wilson and Porter are going to be here much longer. I just will never understand how people can't get in shape from a responsibility standpoint by the age of 18. They are adults. I'm quickly losing confidence in them both. I don't see either one of them as being able to be a good teammate any time soon. Looks like Iowa State might have their next two players for the 2018-2019 season
Between the bears sucking , the sox sucking, NIU football and basketball sucking , this is my darkest fan sports period ever! At least Hawks are decent

If there's one thing college students are known for it's definitely responsible, reasoned decision-making.

Many college students make responsible, reasoned decision-making. Those college students are mature, responsible, and intelligent young adults. When I was in college, I know that that was certainly the case with me and my friends. However, there are also many immature and irresponsible kids in college. Seems like we have a few of those on the basketball team.

Maybe Montgomery needs to buy a book on putting together a winning team. Read a Coach K book recently. He has a buddy system for making sure guys don't miss the bus or are late. There have been times when past student athletes have missed the bus, due to oversleeping it's up to the leaders on the team to make sure guys aren't late or miss the bus. Hmmmm leadership.......

One day we will beat a Big 10 team in basketball. One day...

Exactly I cannot stand the attitude which is becoming more prevalent today that college students need to be coddled and treated like they were in middle school I really thank the lord I'm not going to college in this era.

I'm starting to fear that maybe it's just not possible to build a ball winner at NIU

In all honesty I was just joking around anyway, I had visions of you screaming "THEY ARE 18, THEY ARE ADULTS" at your monitor like Mike Gundy at a press conference.

It does amaze me the number of stupid things athletes will do that put their scholarships at risk. Football teams, I kind of get because there are 100+ kids on a team so something silly seems inevitible, the other sports seems like it'd be easier to keep a handle on.

And NIU is tied with Oliver Nazarene at the under 16
