Well that was unexpected

Winning a meaningless exhibition game in October versus #1 and then crapping out the first weekend in March is, unfortunately, on brand.

Exhibition sure but both teams were out there laying it all on the line in a meaningless game. Certainly had the feel of a game that actually mattered.

Ball movement is already looking loads better than last season. You think Mayer not being around to muck up the offense anymore might have something to do with that?

Free shots, free shots, free fucking shots. Gotta have them, though they did improve as the game went on.

Again it's an exhibition game so I'm not gonna get too carried away. I'll take the wait-and-see-until-January-16th approach.

Ball movement was really good and much better than much of last year. Was a great showing and hopefully this is a foreshadow of good things to come this season.

A lot of things to like. Domask is a really nice player. Guerrier is a really tough kid. We played hard.
Better shot selection and decision making. I am sure Underwood wanted to win. He left
Hawkins in when he had 4 and 5 fouls the last 6 minutes. Pulled Rodgers in last several minutes and did not play DGL or Moretti.

Not sure what to make of the point guard position.
Rodgers is not really close to being a PG. Harmon is OK, but a backup in a perfect world.
Our ballhandling under 1:00 minute when getting pressured was not good. I hope DGL develops quickly to give us another minutes option there.
Goode just looks overmatched athletically. Dainja looks like 10mpg backup this year.
Shannon is a fucking stud. Hawkins looks pretty much the same to me with a little better stroke.

We could be pretty good if they get something out of the PG spot and Hawkins can be consistent.

I do assume the help D will get better. Kansas had a layup drill going a lot of the game on us.
As for Kansas- they better find some perimeter shooting.

Man, our team is so experienced. Love it.

The crunch time lineup of Hawkins, Shannon, Harmon, Guerrier and Domask are a combined 113 years of age.

Hawkins at 21 years old is the youngest guy on the floor of that group.

I read the bio in FightingIllini.com for Guerrier yesterday. He put up decent numbers in 4 years with Syracuse and Oregon. And did it yesterday.
I had no idea he might be more than a 6th or 7th guy.

Based upon yesterday it looks like they are going 8 deep with the 9 and 10 guys (DGL and Harris and Hansberry) trying to crack in there as season goes on.
I am thinking Harris leaves after this year or at semester. They are going to commit to keeping DGL is my guess.


Underwood started the annual "Hawkins is an elite shooter who we want to shoot more (15-16 shots if needed) who hits 40-50% on threes in practice" bullshit again.  ::)
Hawkins is a career 28% shooter from 3.

Hansbury was playing well on defense and rebounding. He made same poor decisions -- bad passes and bad shots, went to the bench and don't think he got back in.

Did he take your picture from The Twitter and draw a penis going towards your mouth?

Observations is that the intensity level throughout was like a early 2024 game schedule wise....donations to help the people needing help was awesome, thought i heard over 1 million.

Players:

TSJ All American easy this year if he plays to this level or higher every game
Hawkins will be the perfect Robin to TSJ Batman all year, has to get more scoring in
Domask great add, has alot of talent and experience on how to use it all
Guerrier will be our permanent 4 all year, extra scoring rebounding we will need all year
Rodgers perfectly fine being go to, the ball will be out of his hands early and often and when it isn't he will drive and dish/shoot 15'er's. He will not be in at the end of games however.
Goode seems lost, overmatched athletically, lets hope he can become our microwave off the bench.
DGL I still think will be primary ball handler come conference
Dain looks like a career backup right now, but this game with KU skillset players didn't do him any favors
Harmon just seems way overmatched to me, he is a mid level conference player at best.
Harris will be 6th man all year nothing more...good energy, skillset has to be better

Overall we got what we wanted imo from this game, I would wager Self may have walked away thinking why other than charity did I do this to my #1 ranked team before the season. I bet he wasn't thrilled with this regardless of exhibition or not.

Got delay after delay getting from NYC to Nashville yesterday, got home super late, just catching up. Sounds like a nice showing.
