<![CDATA[Flory Bidunga]]>Is the best player in the country the last two games. Furthermore he has been the main reason for the win streak and hasn't had a bad game since WVU. BYU game he was just as good as the last two. Didn't get the ball enough against Colorado and ISU. Guards were cooking against ISU so I get that.

Tiller is coming along as well.

I just hope he comes back for one more year... because with him next year, we will surely be picked to win it all!

Occasionally they may you shake your head (i.e. Saturday) and occasionally they make you religious (i.e. Monday).

Flory has been the most consistent energy for the team and (a little credit to Fran here) is likely the B12 defensive player of the year. I knew he would improve year over year, but his growth has been remarkable.

I'm very happy for him because it now seems obvious he made the right call for himself and the team by staying.

I think he's realized it's more humiliating to an opponent to spike it to himself or a teammate. Really made a difference as far as stops go. He's been brilliant... kind of starts slow, but he sort of gets a feel for the how the game's being called before unleashing the full Flory.

Edited to add... Flory and Council down the stretch are unstoppable. They have an extra tank of energy or something. So fun to watch.

Anyone know if they keep stats on blocks out of bounds vs blocks that stay in?

My one minor critique is he goes for the block marginally too often and misses some defensive boards but that’s picking nits.

And did y’all hear his comments about Self hugging him in the post game last night? He’s pretty funny! And seems like a really good person. This team is special.

Chinyelu from Florida is another strong contender, can guard 1-5 as well and saw a recent clip of him doing what Flory does. However, Flory's ability to protect the rim is far superior.

As front courts go, they are making a case to be recognized as one of the best.
