Tamin said, “I’ve probably got a record of some sort.

Who else is his competition for spending time sprawled on the Hilton floor?

Ashley Joens came to mind.

I love Tamin. And I know he can't play any differently and that is a big reason why we love him. But holy hell do I panic every time he leaves his feet or lands on the court.

The last few games I thought he looked as fresh and as healthy as he had in a while. He was definitely hurting today.

4 games left in Hilton for Tamin. We should celebrate him during each. Being there today, the crowd really recognized his effort each time he checked out of the game.

What happened on the dead ball where Tamin ran across the court to our sideline? Looked like they did something to his shoe/foot, then he trotted back onto the court.

Think he scraped his leg, and motioned there was blood on the floor where he fell.

They quickly wrapped his leg while two other guys wiped/mopped that spot on the floor.

So is there a chance of a medical redshirt?

 

[Pizzapitter]

Probably a thread unto itself.
What does Tamin do, post college career?
Who he "is" will alone be enough for success, $'s beyond.

Was Tang one of the guys mopping the floor?

Tamin may be the Last great Ames kid to play for his home town in a long long long time.

 

[Pizzapitter]

Tamin will thrive beyond "next level" bb.
Not a chance in hell-heaven that he plays in the NBA.
Tamin epitomizes "great college bb player," who will never play an NBA second.
We keep hoping for something north of 35% 3 pt shooting
Never gonna happen.

Blessed, that he carved out legitimate college greatness here

Yeah, pretty spoiled to have him. Though from Hoiberg to Tamin Ames is on pace to produce a great player about once a decade. So give it a few years.

He got absolute blown up one time under the basket trying to get an offensive rebound. Not sure if what seen on tv. I was at game(sitting in student section...long story) and he was obliterated. Like blow tfu.

I imagine he will have a good career in Europe. Not a bad gig to get paid to travel there, experience some great scenery and culture.

Talked about this to the person that sits next to me at the game, probably no NBA career, but why not him and Mrs. Lipsey move to Europe play Euroball for a few yrs at good money see a few different countries, move back in 5 to 10 yrs and between his ISU money and his Euroball salary he could do pretty much whatever he enjoys when he comes back and be quite comfortable.

 

[cyclones500]

I could see Lipsey getting into coaching, and he'd be a good analyst.

 

[TitanClone]

Sign him up as a really well paid assistant coach. Him and DG bodying guys up in practice would be elite practice competition.

I would have sworn that at some point in the last couple of years Tamin made a comment about how he wasn't going to be playing basketball past college so that's why he goes all out and plays injured and all of that. Maybe I'm mixing that up or something though.

I think there were at least 3 separate times he came up particularly gimpy yesterday. Once with his wrist. Once with a leg. And once with the cut on his leg.
