I think Wigginton has finally hit his stride. It's a good thing, too, because these road games won't be a cakewalk.

You don't jinx someone as talented as Lindell
Not to jinx anything but........ I'm going to jinx something. Just kidding. 
I do agree with you.
I do agree with you.
Seeing the development of this team I would have really enjoyed LW healthy for the whole year. We would have still found out how good the freshman are with LW playing.
Surprised this thread isn't called "Lindell Wiggington.."
He's attacking and it's making all the difference in the world. I think his foot may be feeling better.
No idea how you defend us when Wigginton, Shayok and THT are on the floor together. You're going to have to put a marginal defensive player on one of them, and maybe two depending on how many "lockdown" defenders the other team has.
He's been lights out the last week but I think he's just getting started. He was vocal last night about WV's inability to guard him. I think he feels like no one can when he's playing like this.
He played his best game of the season last night on both ends of the court. He's hitting his stride at the right time. Lard is inching closer as well. If those two are playing at a high level in March, the sky is the limit with this team.
That would give you a legit group of 7 P5 high level players, plus Talley, Conditt and Lewis as needed for depth.

His best game is getting to the rack. Puts more pressure on the D and opens things for others. As long as he's not settling for threes, he's tough to stop.
It's crazy how many times a game he hits the floor. I'm not sure I've watched anyone fall to the floor as much. He worries me, because I'm afraid, one of those falls is going to be a twisted ankle or wrist.
He is amazing when he is aggressive. He just explodes off the floor and is at the rim.
Now Lard just needs to find a way to stay on the floor. Not going to count last night against him as Jacobson got tagged with some ridiculous calls as well.
True, but I don't think you put all three out there together very often. To me the great advantage is you have 3 scorer/creators, and if one has an off night, it's not going to slow down your offense at all. And you still have 3 other guys on the floor who are highly capable complementary pieces offensively (MJ, Halliburton, Lard, NWB).
You also have everyone getting a few more minutes of rest, which helps late game and next game.
Last night if you walked on the floor, you were tagged with a foul, regardless of which team.
Check in, whistle blows, foul.
Its was a training film on how not to referee a game.
Both Prohm and Huggy, were like WTF?

Lard has to realize at times it is better to let someone go then foul them. When guys have you beat right under the basket it isn't worth it to get a foul. Just go straight up.
I feel bad for Lard, that guy can't catch a break. His first two fouls last night were anticipation fouls.
Helps tremendously when he gets calls. Many nights teams are allowed to body him.
Yeah, not often, but sometimes. It's a potent go-to option for when we really need a bucket at the end of a game. In that situation, I'm going Babb/Wigginton/THT/Shayok/Lard.
I wonder if Wiggington's struggles early on were because he still wasn't 100% as well. He was finishing really well around the basket against WVU.
Wiggington's wrist was bothering him so hopefully it won't be an issue going forward. Didn't seem to affect his free throws.
