I get the thrillinoise link was deleted, but the whipple 40 second link is good for some laughs at Clark's expense when he's playing for another team. Unfortunately, you've seen him do it for us.

Skyy Clark dropped 24 on Kentucky Wesleyan. It was not enough as Louisville still lost 71-68.
-
Sounds as if Clark is where he needs to be for HIS needs to be met, be the STUD, regardless of the results. Louisville should love the kid for the season.

Didn’t he have a big game or two for us against a cupcake?

There was another exhibition upset a few days ago.

Lol. If this guy blows up too they need to just fire this whole fucking staff for impersonating as basketball coaches.
Clark looked like total ass in that Twitter clip. He will be a B version of Mark Smith.
Slow as fuck.

Jesus. Duke and Scheyer just got the number 1 recruit in 2024 class to give them another top recruiting class.
Cooper Flagg could not be any more of a whiteboy smirkass motherfucker. Supposed #1 NBA pick in 2025.

Underwood is on thin ice. If we go one and done in NCAA I bet he is gone.
I know dealing with the challenges of today’s athlete in a social media world are no doubt a pain in the ass, but if you can’t relate to them you are not going to make it.
There is a reason are entire rotation is mostly 24 year old guys. Lol.
-
Zero chance he’s on thin ice if we win a game in the tourney. May certainly leave on his own, however. Epps really struggled the second half of last year, some supposed 46 points in a scrimmage means fuck all. I loved the kid coming in and he’s a crafty scorer at times, but reality is he’s an undersized 2 that is really streaky from deep and has to do some serious ball acrobatics to get the ball in the bucket when he drives into the big guys. Really wish we had RJ back but Guerrier is likely better for this team.

I think it is 60/40 there is mutual parting of ways if we win one and lose one.
0 for career getting to second weekend has become a large monkey on his back.
Loyalty smart guys say it is S16 or the door.
We will see I guess.
There is no question Underwood has trouble connecting to modern players and it is a lot more than an isolated case. I know the whole context has changed but he is too often an inflexible old school crazed redass on sidelines.
Having Anderson and Frazier around hasn't tempered him. If he wins it is tolerable. If not it is not.

A 9 game suspension from WVa hoops for impermissable benefits he received at Az.
What's the Az penalty ?
What was Harbaugh's suspension for violations and fibbing about it ?
How about Self's suspension ?
Lol
"As part of their evaluation, the NCAA determined that the University of Arizona's compliance systems and education met or exceeded their standards and national best practices. The University of Arizona received no penalties or corrective actions as a result of the NCAA's evaluation.
The athletics department will have no further comment on the matter and wishes the former student-athlete the best moving forward.
Considering this occurred while Kriisa was enrolled at U of A, this doesn't seem to add up. Then again, any matter the NCAA deals with rarely does."

Yeah it’s definitely some bullshit. The NCAA makes no sense and punishes all the wrong people. It’s pretty crazy.

The results of a secret scrimmage aren’t enough to threaten anyone’s job security. Come on man you’re better than this.
Secret scrimmages are glorified joint practices from my understanding. It’s more for coaches to work on certain situations and what not. Our game against Kansas felt more like a game that counted than whatever playground gym basketball went on in the Georgetown vs Wake scrimmage.

I never said this secret scrimmage was any sort of defining measure ::) - the fact he can't keep a lot of recruits here, cannot win in March, has misjudged talent, and is out of his mind on the sidelines is the issue.
Underwood is under a lot of pressure to get to the second weekend.
We lose first round he is gone and we will not likely be getting an easy game.
We win one and lose one and look bad doing it he is gone IMO.
Next year will be a wild scramble to replace 4 starters. This is a very important year and opportunity for him as he has enough talent to get to S16.

Yeah this thing of getting fired for not getting to the second weekend is silly. Do we want more? Of course. But we came from a coach who got five years or whatever and never made the tourney outside of what he inherited from another fired coach. After the first couple of rebuilding years Illinois has been a favored seed in 3/4 tourneys had 2020 had a tournament and we look to be in a position to be a favored seed again this year. Like it or not, that’s pretty decent for Illinois basketball. You keep finishing near the top of the B1G and making the tournament as a favored seed, odds are you’re going to break through at some point. After 15 years of wandering the desert this fan base isn’t going to be chomping at the bit to get rid of a guy who does the things I just discussed until it’s abundantly clear he can’t do anything more.

I really hope we have a good year and we see the second weekend this year. It has been nearly 20 years.
It is not silly to think he needs to get there. This is his 7th year. We will see what happens.
-
It's ok to lose. Disappointing but it happens. Ask Tx and UCLA from last year, or Ks this year. Just look competent when you do it.

Some people would say that is what happens when you rebuild from a tank and 3 to 5 more recruiting classes are needed before you can judge the head coach and GM.

The reality is this, is the BU tournament lack of success maddening yes. Have we has a fan base lived through much better/much worse, yes. However, regardless of what happens this year, BU will not go anywhere unless on his own accord. He will be losing 4-5 seniors most of which will get massive playing time and possibly the entire starting 5 if things don't go well with Rodgers this year. He/We will lose our Top 2-3 players at every position (less) on this team.
He will be rebuilding yet again, and without tourney success, less likely to get big name transfers. Yes we will have another solid-good class coming in, but with only that and some mid major type names/transfers, then we will be going backwards again next year regardless of the coach...that Coach will be BU.
Next year could very well end up being a shit show for us record wise.
Best Case Scenario for Team:
Rodgers - Could see jumping ship if things go bad this year
Goode - Could see being just another Asst Coach for us, seems to have lost it?
DGL - Loads of talent, BU needs to really focus on getting him better this year imo.
Dainja - He will stay and we will go back to an inside plodding offense next year.
Hansberry - Who knows right now
Harris - Really needs to put up like 1000 shots a day to be more than a backup energy guy
Johnson - We will be lucky to have him more than 1 year
Jakstys - Tisdale early, maybe late?
Butler - Unknown, probably start for us.????
That is a bottom of the B1G roster with very little to entice anyone else to come aboard via transfer or high level HS talent...BU isn't going anywhere with that on the horizen, Whitman will have no other options regardless of our finish this year.

Good news is there is a rising freshman in the JUCO ranks that BU is recruiting I hear....Always Wright 6'2" Top 50 JUCO player from Missouri. Go get him BU he is a game changer I hear.
-
Did Truth somehow make it back on the board?! 🤔
-
He does need to advance in the tourney, and this roster looks like the best chance to do that given the talent we’ll lose after this season. But making the tournament every year is a place we haven’t been in a long time. And BU typically does ok in the portal. Guerrier, TSJ, Domask are all transfer starters and probably three of our four best players overall. Dainja and Harmon are rotation transfers. We’ll be ok. We are long overdue for a surprise success of a season.

To do that you have to beat a higher seed, which the Illini have never done. (I think I have that right.)

It's early and I just have a couple scrimmages and an exhibition game to go on but I think this Michigan team is going to be alot better than 12th in the Big Ten. Our losses have been greatly exaggerated and our transfers look better than expected. I'll also put Sophomore Dug up against any PG in the conference.
Looking forward to Tuesday night. Asheville is a good opener. They won 27 games last year and return 4 starters and 2 subs from their top 8. They were picked to win the Big South again this year.

Thanks for dropping by, Sven. Is this the year Juwan finally beats Daddy Brad?

I really hope our season starts and ends well this year. We will be potentially be horrendous next year, and that will be an experienced Big in Dainja.
Our lineup next year could be as of now, not one that exactly looks as if it is B1G caliber by any stretch.
Rodgers
Goode
Harris
Dainja
Johnson
DGL
Moretti
Hansberry
Jakstys
Butler
Hell we might only get 60pts a night if we are lucky....and Johnson will have 1/2 of them and only stay a year.
Man I really hope we have an extended season next year will be brutal for us. The talent drop off will be huge outside of Johnson/Rodgers/Hansberry law firm.

It’s completely idiotic to project next year before this one has even started. Especially in today’s college basketball environment with the transfer portal. I’m sure Underwood and the staff will figure it out. I mean look at this year…

Playing for the basketball graveyard that is Depaul basketball is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But the kid did it to himself. Now he's gotta live with that consequence.
-
RayJ Dennis had 7 turnovers...in the first half.
Bullet dodged?

I remember having full on text message wars with Laurence Holmes regarding the trash that is DePaul basketball. He used to rag on the Illini nonstop then act like DePaul was anything other than the Big East’s cum sock.

Jayden Epps 7/19 for 22 pts last night in a loss to Holy Cross. He looks to be the alpha on a not-so-hot Georgetown squad. His defense hasn't seen much improvement as the guy he was guarding torched his ass for 33 points.

RJ would help, but in reality he would be fighting with TSJ/Guerrier/Domask/Rodgers...who else for playing time? He is also averaging .154 from 3' range, so we would realistically have a one trick offensive pony if we still had him. Wish him luck, Podz got away, RJ left.

Underwood sat RJM in the corner and was ok with RJM bricking 3s until he'd seen enough. That's not RJM's game.
Just like pg is not Rodgers' game.
-
RJ is just another guy as well if we had him. He brings exactly the same thing 2-3 of our other players bring. The PG is the issue. We don’t need any more wings who can’t shoot the 3.

It does seem like Edey gets away with a lot of shit and gets a lot of calls.
He is a load for sure, but Purdue has same issues as last year IMO. The transfer from SIU helps.
-
It’d be nice if Kofi was officiated like Edey is when he played…
I think the difference is that Edey plays a finesse game, he plays like he is soft...Kofi played like a bull in a china shop all the time. Not fair, but honestly the visual on the types of play will constitute calls going a certain way imo.

If by "played like a bull in China shop" you mean Kofi got rebounds by establishing inside position and by "finesse', you mean Edey rebounds by reaching over the back; then I agree.
If Kofi rebounded like Edey; he would've fouled out a lot.

It could be viewed this way, I think if you watch them both, Edey appears soft, appears to be fragile...Kofi did not.

He does reach over a lot. Edey is 305 lbs. Actually bigger and weighs more than Kofi.
Nothing soft about him. He gets hit a lot, but dishes it out every play. Officials generally have two standards with these big guys underneath as opposed to guards on top.
He is slow as shit but has more finesse down low on offense than Kofi.
His size might get him in the league as a spot guy off the bench.

FAU with 6 players in double figures for the 2nd time this year in a win over Butler

As of today Torvik has us at 43 and out of the tourney.

KenPom has us at 11-9 in BT.
Loyalty is ecstatic, however, and thinks we will be Top 15 soon.
Next three games are going to be interesting.

I thought Torvik kinda liked us going into the season? Not sure what 5-6 wins and a tough close loss to a clearly top 5 caliber team have done to push us out of the tourney but whatever.

We were favored in that game. We were home. That one got away and was there for the taking except a few guys really took a dump.
Our lack of half court execution killed us and is why we have the 65th ranked offense in country right now.
Last night the announcers stated UW wanted better halfcourt offense. Once we get into the conference it will be
the key.
Last year we rode the UCLA and Texas wins through the BT tractor pull season to secure a bid.
We need an out of conference win vs ranked team. FAU is the media darling this year and probably over ranked so
we need that one. Will look good.

FAU put up 90 something on #12 TAM. It's early and rankings are a guess, but we'll have to hold FAU to 2/3rds of that.

We should win that one. FAU lost to Bryant.
They are experienced good team but give up a buttload of points which is hopefully good for us.
I think our defense could prevail in this one.
On the other hand, not sure how much our defense has really been tested. We are ranked #9 and Marquette is #17. :o
That makes no sense except we have played such terrible teams so are racking up the D stats.

I would go the other way, but who knows.
A win at Tenn on the road would be a signature one for the resume and confidence.

Would be a good time for CH, Guerrier, and Domask to start hitting threes at their normal modest clip. They are 8-50.
Should be double that.
Maybe we will have a lights out games vs FAU and Tenn. (https://www.mylespaul.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/fingersx.gif)

Rutgers will be a pickem. Illini will be 3-4 pt favs over FAU. Tennessee will be a 6-7 pt favorite over illini. Illinois has played 4 games against teams outside the top 275. 2 of which were in the 330s.

Tennessee will be a bad matchup for us. Same team make up as marquette.

Lose to both FAU and Tenn, 8-9 seed and early March exit here we come.

If we lose both of those then the only for sure Top 25 type games left are the 4 conf games vs Purdue and MSU.
OSU and Wisconsin might sniff around with us in Top 25 ish range at times.
We could be scrambling to get in if 10-10 and early exit in BTT and just a home win vs MSU.
But if people start playing up to ability we could get things really going in next couple weeks.
-
RAC/Jersey Mike's has always been a tough venue for opposing teams but IIRC Rutgers did lose their fair share at home last year. But still life on the road in conference play can be a bitch.
Fully expect Tenn to be a loss. FAU is formidable but we can take them @MSG.

He is bulky and kind of slow, but can be effective with his physical size and angles. We didn't see him attack to get fouled like that last year.
Hard to argue with scoring in double figures every game and he had 20 and 19 vs Texas and Indiana.
Epps has 65 points in his last two games with 13 3 pointers.
Avg 20 ppg./ 5 assists/ and shooting 45% from 3.
Melendez on other hand has been pretty bad. 2-21 on threes.

You are right. He played 20 minutes off the bench and went 1/10 with 3 TOs and 0-8 from 3. :o
He may be one of those kids that just can't handle the stress at this level even though he has some obvious skills.
-
Melendez, the one dude who went to LSU and broke something, the other Puerto Rican guy who went to St Johns and sucked and left again.
Seems a recurring theme with guys who left that thought they should have been better even though they were given a lot of PT here and had some success here.
Pods is different since he wasn't given an opportunity here, that's a mistake unlike the three above.

Melendez showed some flashes as a frosh. Was playing injured as soph for us and lost confidence and couldn't shoot. Team culture was a total fucking mess which didn't help. Looks like he is in a bad head place again.
Miller had bad advice from his family which thought he was a one and done talent. Was decent at times for sure as a freshmen. Had injury year. Was streaky as fuck at LSU and either hot or cold- mostly cold. Now his eligibility for another transfer is in dispute at ASU.
He might turn out to be pretty good.
Curbelo is a just a pretty fucked up talented kid. Was out of control except for about a month his freshmen year in second half. Then he looked like a future star at times.
Got hurt and was messed up for weeks. Rumors about off court issues, drug use, and attitude issues. Also now on second transfer at Southern Miss and not allowed to play yet.
When he is good he is special but that was always rare.
Epps is the guy that I wished we could have worked through whatever the fuck was going on. Had obvious natural scoring ability. Was in middle of total shitshow last year and I am sure both he and UW were both at fault for the bad relationship.
Was apparently pretty defiant but UW can be and was a fucking ass.
Oh, and the Podz thing...... this staff........
I am pretty sure there is plenty of fodder for serious negative recruiting and it had an impact on the total whiff this summer.
Put a more mature bought in Epps on this team who plays a little defense and we are in very good shape.
-
I read something here or on TOS about Matt Mayer publicly commenting on Epps being hospitalized and not sure if he’d be okay? Apparently it was memory holed and never talked about again. Anyone know what I’m talking about? I was super excited about him coming in…not sure what happened but he really struggled down the stretch last year. Couldn’t hit water from a boat. But that’s often times the case with freshmen hitting the wall playing big minutes in the B1G grind. But something definitely happened and it didn’t seem like he and UW were on the same page.
Melendez just lost whatever mojo he played with his freshman year and wasn’t even close to the same guy again. Who knows what happened there?
I’m pretty much in the same camp as Spark is on the Podz situation. He didn’t play much on a B1G championship team as a frosh behind some super seniors. The staff wanted him to come back, but they’d recruited some pretty solid guards so he decided to move on to a place he could be The Guy. He put a ton of work in, and the rest is history. He wouldn’t have helped us much but for one year maybe anyways.
Most of the guys that have left or been run off haven’t done much elsewhere. The whiff on PG this offseason was colossal and will certainly be this team’s limiting factor. We are going to have to kill it in the portal after this season to remain competitive.

Dainja, Hansberry, Goode, Harris, Rodgers, Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Moretti could all be back next year. They'll add Johnson, Jackstys, and Butler.

It was a pretty good win even with the weird rules. Kansas is really good.

Guards: DGL, Moretti, Butler
Assuming no attrition, the most obvious needs would be another wing, and a serviceable point guard. Another big for depth?

I feel like posting this roster just serves to highlight why we’ll need to be very reliant on the portal. Tons of question marks and guys with significant limitations. Almost no star power aside from Johnson and probably not as a freshman. DGL maybe? Anyways if I am a high level transfer player I’m not looking at this roster and having concerns about playing time, I’ll put it that way.
Some decent pieces but nowhere near where the personnel needs to be to maintain or improve on what we’ve seen the past 4 seasons. Need to have better prep classes than 15th-30th and some of those guys need to stick around and pan out. Granted we could have taken a 6 man class like Purdue did this year and inflate our rankings but that’s not ideal either.
Like the mix of preps and transfers as a concept if you can reliably blend personalities and manage the turnover and related chemistry issues.

Look at the game logs.
Epps took 19, 22, and 18 shots to score 22, 31, and 34. In other games he took 4 shots to score 5, 12 shots to score 16, and 8 shots to score 10.
In his last two, Epps took 40 shots and scored 65 points.
The point I saw made was he is not going to get 20 shots to score 30 points at a better program.
Shannon shots: 10, 12, 16, 14, 13, 10.
Points: 16, 15, 21, 22, 24,19.
In his last two, Shannon took 23 shots and scored 43 points.

He is doing pretty well for his first year as a FT high minute starter and he is the go to guy and focus of the D on that team.
His Eff FG% is 58 which is very good for the amount of shots and the number of threes he takes. I do not expect that to stay there.
Shannon's is 61% and was boosted by his huge game from three vs WIU on Sunday. I also do not expect that to stay there.
I would welcome Shannon getting more shots. however.
No question that Shannon is more efficient overall, but I sure wouldn't mind if we had a bought in Epps here in place of Rodgers on top.
-
Yeah- this looks pretty thin and we do not have a discernible system on either side of the ball other than go play hard and make plays.
First a caveat that the only full games I watched were KU, Southern, and WIU.
I am discerning that BU is working in his systems. Spread offence and half court pressure defense.
? Some of it looks like semi organized chaos.
As for next season, they have good players returning and a couple good ones coming in.
Between Gibbs-Lawhorn, the Italian kid, and Butler, they should be able to move Rodgers off the point.
Goode, Rodgers, Buck on the wings, you have a shooter, a slasher, and a junk yard dog. plus DGL can slide over.
Johnson, Dainja, and Hansberry has the potential to the best big rotation we've had in a very long time. Rodgers can play there if needed. Jackstys should probably red-shirt.
That's without adding anyone from the portal.

Don’t stop him now, he’s on a roll!

Next year's point guard?

I hope Butler is a stud here but man I don’t want all my eggs in the “three star true frosh combo guard with no other high major offers is our PG next year” basket because that’s shades of Chester Frazier and Jaylon Tate and yikes

Some of the smarter members
A. Always talking about penises....
B. Everything is relative, I guess, when discussing the intelligence of the posters around here.
-
Epps might be the focus of the D, but he is also the focus of the O. Cooley can coach and is getting him good looks against lesser competition. He's not taking 20 shots at UI and he isn't a point guard.

Rating and offers is about where the resemblance ends. Although I would take another Chester.
Everything I have seen says Butler is complete point guard. Kind of a bigger Jalen Brunson. Gets called a combo because he has the size and shot to play off the ball. Plus the handle, passing, vision to play point. Can get to rim and kick, dish, or finish with with hand through contact.
Maybe overlooked in part because he is more of a skilled basketball player than an above the rim athlete?
Lack of exposure?
A Chester recruit.

No he is not a point guard. He does avg 5 assists a game along with 4 TOs. Kind of Ayo like who was also never a PG.
No he would not get 20 shots a game at Illinois. For the record he gets 13 a game at Georgetown. Shannon gets 12.
Yes, Cooley and just about anybody else is a better offensive coach than UW and our staff.
Yes, he probably still plays halfass defense.
And No, Rodgers is not a point guard.
It would be nice to have another consistent scoring threat to go with TSJ since we run an alleged positionless offense.
I think the overall net value to the team would be higher than Rodgers assuming Epps and UW could co-exist.
But it doesn't matter - he is not here.

He is a 3 star #163 recruit.Generally players play to their rankings. Guards are usually easier to assess and project.
Nobody goes under the radar much these days.
I hope he is an outlier and does well here.

Funny enough he was exactly the type of guy John Groce wanted but could never get

Something else allegedly happened with Epps here too. Insiders say it was personal, off court, not basketball related. They refuse to say what or even hint.
Then there was the tweet by Matt Mayer.
Epps parents rushed out here.
He was shooting well last year, then he wasn't.
I hope bringing that up is ok with PA man.
Cooley is a good coach, Epps is closer to home, and things are looking up for him. Some at TOS like to cite his current success st GT as evidence our staff sucks.

It takes years of rapport, credibility, insider knowledge to get to that level on Loyalty. It then allows you to make such grand statements and Illini fans worldwide must listen. It surely can't be wrong. It's Loyalty.

There hasn't been a better athlete than Preston Pearson. He was a 6-1 high school center from Freeport. Was also a good baseball player. Walked on to play basketball at Illinois.
Once missed a dunk. The ball careened off the rim, went airborne, and came down near mid-court.
Punched an opposing player and knocked him about 20 feet.
Blocked Lew Alcindor's sky hook.
Played 14 years in the NFL as a running back, receiver, and kick returner.

Yes, he would definitely be in the discussion. As would Nunn, Winters, Paul, Harper, Gill, Anderson, maybe Battle, Liberty, Hamilton, Notree, DWill (as a pro), Luther to name a few.
Most of those guys saw NBA time and some had stellar careers which for better or worse is a key indicator of very high level athleticism.
Shannon makes the list of those considered. I think he maybe catches on a roster somewhere.
I think the thing on Loyalty about him is we have not had a lot of really high level athletes in recent years. Ayo is very fast with the ball in open court and good athlete, but not really super athletic.
Frankie was smooth as hell and amazing , but not an elite athlete.

I remember the Illini playing UCLA pretty tough in 1970s with Walton and Wilkes and John Wooden had said some complimentary words post game about Connor. Kinda tough for a 6-6 center to go up against Walton but he held his own.
-
Not sure he’d be top 5 on the ‘89 team…
-
He’s really explosive and strong. But it kinda seems more like the kind of ability that’s been earned from hard work in the gym than pure natural athleticism. If that makes any sense.

I remember the game against UCLA after the slush fund. 1st time seeing Lew Alcindor/Kareem play. Was amazed at what he could do. Score that day was like 120-82. Dave Scholz and Jim Dawson were the only really good players the Illini had left after the slush fund. Jones, Dunlap, and Kuberski would have made that team so much better, no doubt.
-
Kansas being a team I somewhat follow for family reasons I can advise they are a confident 2-guard short as Jackson and the rotation guys aren't as polished as Dick (went there, no regrets) or Braun and they're missing some on-court leadership that they've in the recent past with large roster turnover (Hunter just may not have that personality trait in his quest to be a heel). If they win the B12 I will be surprised.

Iowa put up 103 tonight.
Their freshmen big who was ranked #180 or something is averaging double figures playing like 15 mpg.
Our Top 60 freshmen big is really kind of a non factor so far.
Of course he will need two years in the weight room and has to learn the complex system we use before he could possibly be expected to contribute. ::)
Iowa is same story as usual and tries to outscore you.
Fran is a bigger dick redass than UW but he can really coach offense.

Torvik has us projected at 18-13 and 10-10 based upon our performance to date.

I've said all along that RJM should stay inside the arc. So he had a double double last night and didn't score a point from 3.
He should have played for Weber. Every time he parked his ass in the corner hoping for the ball so he could brick a 3, Weber could holler "mooooooooove !!!!"

One of the posters said it wasn't a reviewable play. As fast as the decision was made, deciding it's not reviewable is a rules issue.
He was out of bounds.
If it was a rules issue, maybe tweak the rule.

Replay showed Miller stepped on the right sideline with his left foot just before releasing the ball. Though officials reviewed the play, because they missed Miller stepping out-of-bounds in real time, by rule they couldn't overturn the shot.

It had to be a rules issue as fast as the wrong, in fairness, result was reached. They couldn't review the oob so the 3 that shouldn't have counted won the game for TCU.
"Instant Replay / Out of Bounds, Goaltending and Basket Interference - Per Rule
11-2.1.e.1 and .3, Instant Replay is permitted to review out of bounds plays and
basket interference plays under certain situations:
1. Out of bounds
a. Only permitted in the last two minutes of the second period or in
the last two minutes of any overtime period;
b. Review is only permitted when an out of bounds call has been
made;
Let me get this straight. The challenge could have been done in the last 2 minutes of the game but only if the TCU player was ruled oob. If the player is called oob and the shot goes in, Georgetown can challenge.
If the player is called oob, and replay will show he wasn't, and the shot goes in but is overruled due to the oob call on the floor then TCU can challenge and the shot will count.
The rule will get changed.

Kid does seem like a grinder/gym rat I guess, sure he is a pretty good young man. Overall I think he is a good fit, nothing more, and over matched for the B1G. I hope I am wrong and he excels for us.

One of the stranger things I remember in college basketball.
He was obviously never going to sustainably shoot 60% from three like he did in limited minutes as a freshman, but if you'd have told me he was going to be 24 of his next 124 (19%) I would've called you a liar.

I’m sure they’ll portray it as for health reasons to cover it up. Let him go out quietly.

Our insiders are saying there was definitely an incident Friday involving Juwan and that it has nothing to do with his health. They won't say what exactly happened though.

Well fuck. Michigan might not be such an auto W anymore.

One of them has now confirmed the Sanderson story. Sanderson was getting on Jace Howard for missing rehab assignments and Juwan got triggered.

Howard also got in a spat with the Wisco guy and that wasn't in practice.
Harbaugh and Howard is not a good look.

Saw Howard on the bench involved in game today. Iowa is playing really poorly all of the sudden.
UM looks like they have a few guys who can score but otherwise suckass.
Howard is fcking mentally ill.

The NCAA rewards cheating. You have to do it hard enough to succeed for a while, and have to be smart enough about it to prevent the death penalty. After that, you’re golden.

Just read the Charles Jackson (CJ) article about the ILLINI getting national exposure. Pretty simple and accurate.
IF the ILLINI continue to build a 2-3 primary scoring option night in/out, and if we can find a better way to use CoHawk/Dainja inside, then with our remaining schedule moving forward ONLY based on what we do KNOW right now we should do very well the rest of the way.
We play very few teams with dominating inside players, which sets up better for us IMO, and we have only lost 2 games so far, both against Top 10-15 ranked teams.
Something like 18-4 to close out the season...25-6 I would consider a very good record with this group, that should place us in a fight for reg season title vs Purdue, but I do think we will lose both against them so we will not win the regular or the conference title this year. I think Edey takes them both.
This record should place us squarely on a #3-4 line for the tourney, and as long as we don't play teams with high end inside players, of which in the Top 25 there are 5-8 teams with those types of players that will give us serious problems. We should be able to get to the Elite Eight at least.

So we are going to go 16-4 in the BT?
And we can "at least" make the Elite Eight as long as we develop a consistent offense, figure out our post play, and we do not play anybody very good.
Got it. ::)

Hey fuck head you seem to have an issue with my posts, why don't you read them instead of trying to condense them down to your IQ level and belabor a point that you seem to have a hard time understanding that you completely lose on every time you get behind the keyboard.
The point is that we will not play anyone that has "really" good post players, which means we are up tempo, we will play up tempo and win against inferior up tempo teams, most of those in the conference, but your math is excellent though, maybe keep with that moving forward.
Please stay at the end of the bench where you belong, or go over to another forum where I am sure you might sound intelligent....wait a minute scratch that no chance of that happening. I see ya down there.

How in the fck will he take OA’s spot?
Chet hasn't recruited anyone of note in his career. He can’t easily point to guys he had a hand in bringing in that are well known, or he helped in getting to NBA.
He is kind of guy you might hire as a niche player development guy if you value his defensive mindset to have around and who will be loyal to the program.
You don't need to use him as one of the 3 assts who recruit. At best, he is your third guy if you have two other guys who can take the lead with that.
We have Gentry who apparently is a real pain in the ass Barney Fife for Hulka who we can’t fire and nobody wants.
We now better find someone who can really recruit their ass off.
Best to Chet, and hope he develops some relationships somewhere that help us, but not crazy about this hire.

The walk on was a transfer from some directional school where he was also a walk on? His sr. dad was a real good player / shooter for PU back in the day. Junior was a chucker but couldn't shoot for shit. Pretty good defender though. Still can't recall their name(s).

If they can get the ball up the court and hit enough from outside they could be a final four team. They look better with Jones and an improved Smith.
Don't see how they do not win BT comfortably but that is why they play the games.
-
They’ve already beaten four top 10 teams in Tennessee, Gonzaga, Arizona, and Marquette. Gonzaga has fallen off some, but still. And a better-than-their-record Alabama team. That’s nuts for this early in the season. Painter still has to prove he can win in March, of course. Pretty hard to think a team that spent a lot of last year ranked #1 and brought pretty much everyone back (along with a couple good new faces) isn’t elite. Pains me to say it as I work with a lot of Purdue grads.
-
Agree they are playing at a very confident and high level. They are making threes at high percentage which was a problem last year.
Jones gives them an experienced athletic guard to help handle being pressured.
They will go as far as the guard play as Edey is a constant and a force that nobody will really do much but hopefully slow down.
They may be best team in country. It took a ridiculous game by Buie and NU to beat them on the road.
They have four road games in BT where they could stumble but are actually projected on paper to win out in KenPom which is crazy. Torvik has the same.
They then do both give them three losses more due to luck, weird games, an injury, or an off night, etc.
There is always a night or two where a team goes 5-22 from three or something. They went 9-29 tonight which is what they did last year and that made them vulnerable.
If other team is hot they could lose a game like that. They were 5-19 in the NU loss. NU was 10-20. They had 17 TOs (and Smith had 6) while NU only had 3.
It will take a confluence of shit for them to lose games in BT and in NCAA.
It happens.
We are actually a tough match up for them in that we are playing good position and help D, and we contest the three and can gang rebound on a good night. We do not force many TOs though which you almost have to do to beat them. And of course hit shots.

FAU is quite an enigma. Quad 1 wins over Zona, Virginia Tech and Texas A&M and two Quad 4 losses to Bryant and FGCU.
They have defensive issues.
-
Speaking of defensive issues, 6-6 Stanford drops 100 on #4 Arizona.

Arizona deserved it

Arizona is overrated. They should have never taken on Caleb Love.
My sleeper team is BYU. They are outstanding. I’d rank them in the top 5.

You do realize they have only played 1 decent team so far, right? They lost that one to Utah, and were down 14 in the first half also.
I will take Ole Miss, bet them in June. Ranked, heavy transfers, heavy good guard play, and a coach with a chip on his shoulder imo.

Look at BYU’s scoring differentials. They’ve blown out nearly everyone. They are in the Big 12 now so they will get plenty of chances to show how good they are

Maybe but you CHOSE them now, not based on how many chances they will get. You stated Top 5? No way they are anything close to that and the Big 12 will hand them a 10-8 conference record or very close to that. 11th toughest SOS left and all in conference...blow outs have been against nobodies.

Freeman from Moline (Iowa) is looking for sure like one we should have gotten. The kid can play, probably would have had to take Harding as well imo.

Andre Curbelo had triple double tonight against Georgia State.
The really ugly part about that is he only shot 5/21.

Nebby shot 60% from three and 85% on free shots. The type of shooting you need to take down #1. Tominaga is a fun kid to watch.
-
Wow. They really handled them. Forced 13 TOs, rebounded with them and shot lights out.
-
We only play Nebby once this year. Thankfully it's in Champaign.

Hoiberg might finally have a squad this year if they can just play around .500 ball on the road.
-
As is Illinois tradition, Trey Kaufman-Renn, the dude who played the game of his life against us, doesn't score a single point against the Huskers. He didn't even so much as get a single shot up in 15 minutes of action.
-
Nebby shot 60% from three and 85% on free shots. The type of shooting you need to take down #1. Tominaga is a fun kid to watch.
Doesn't hurt playing at home and visitors shoot 39% from 3 pt, with 10 more attempts and force 14 TO, get 9 Stl, and rebound evenly against #1 team in nation will get you some wins. Renn/Gillis basically switched games and scoring vs us and them.
We shot 42% and 85% also against them. We just didn't rebound, otherwise box score is very similiar.
-
Hoiberg might finally have a squad this year if they can just play around .500 ball on the road.
It's pretty tough to play .500 in BT on the road for anybody in any year. They don't make it easy.
I think the league average overall winning percentage over the years is like 33% for visiting teams. Crowds are tough, refs always allow too much physical play in league. Not shooting on your rims.
Worth 3-4 points easy, or more if you lose your shit for just a few minutes.
So in a very good year this year we might go 9-1 at home and 4-6 on road for 13 wins. 14 if we go 5-5. We only have a couple home games that could be trouble. One this week, and Purdue.
If we could hit 13 we will have solid 4 seed, or even 3 seed depending on the quality of wins.
A long way to go, but we are playing at high enough level on offense now to have pretty nice year.
-
I saw that PU was at Nebraska and thought Nebraska may give them a game. Then I saw that the 2 Big10 games last night were on the Peacock.
The bench goes 10-12 with 5-7 from 3 and 5-5 on their free shots.
It would have been nice to be able to watch some of the game.
-
Yeah, I looked for it on BTN and they had women's games.
I ended up watching Alabama on the SEC Network.

Yeah, its a lot better basketball than a lot of men give it credit for. I don't really care if it bugs ILLLove when he turns on YouTubeTV though. I get the same thing sometimes on ESPN.com, where they show 'Top-25' scores with men's and women's games together and you have to pay attention to which it is.
It's never-endingly telling the shit that people come up to try to rip on me for here. LOL.

These conferences adding teams that are nowhere near the other conference schools is a joke. Rutgers and Maryland going Big 10 and now UCLA, SC, Oregon, Washington coming in. A joke with these schools having road trips to East coast or vice versa.

That loss will not sit well with their boosters.

And it won't. This team has 5 new starters, 2 frosh and 2 sophs. Team struggles at the offensive end. Nobody that can take over a game offensively. The fan base is going to be pissed off. Really surprised how Cronin has fallen.
UCLA has been my 2nd favorite team since 1967, was in awe how they beat the Illini by 38. Been to Pauley Pavillion a few times, including Illinois game in 97-98 season.
-
That loss will not sit well with their boosters.
Correct and the buyout if they choose ( I would think they might after this year) to move on drops 4 million per year after March 31st annually. After March 31st of 2024, 16 million is the buyout price, before March 31st 2025, and 10 million after that, so on and so forth through 2027-2028.

Nebby will get some wins, but I think without Topianga or whatever the correct spelling, and his energy and a above par game from him, many a night in this league will result in more losses still.

He’s a projected a 1st round pick in the draft too 😱 these NBA teams are dumb ass fuck. It doesn’t matter if a player is good in college or not anymore. It’s simply potential and that’s it. So many busts because the player has never done anything yet.
-
Boswell has been pretty good in college though.
Double digit scorer, 4.3 assists on 2/1+ A/TO ratio, shooting 43% from three and 91+% from the FT line coming into today.

-
Our Thursday opponent beat Ohio St today.
Have to come out with a ton more energy, effort and discipline than what we just showed against Maryland.
-
That insane level of ball movement and connectivity we’ve had disappeared the last two games. I do think part of the way we looked the last two games is guys having been pretty fucking sick and all that goes along with it. The other part is MSU came in wanting a rock fight and pretty much got one.
And Maryland is just not a good matchup for us, ever. There’s talent and length on that team. I feel like every year they have a whole roster of interchangeable dudes that all look about the same size and are athletic but not particularly skilled. And I only know the names of like 2 of them. Every other team in B1G I can at least name most of their contributors by this point in the season.
Anyways fuck Maryland because that changed the trajectory of the whole season and the perception of this team sans Shannon.
Win this game like we should have and we are still looking like contenders in the league and even have a little bit of margin for error.
But lose it and we kind of slip back into a group of teams chasing (or leading, for now) Purdue and lost any margin for error. Plus we changed a game like Purdue in Champaign to basically a must win versus a house money game in order to have a shot at a top 3-4 seed. And that’s only IF we win out at home and win half our away games. That’s how big this loss was imo.
-
Will come down to shooting. I have watched them a couple games when they were hot and they have a few guys who can fill it up. When not hitting they do not have a lot else except some athleticism.
OSU was 3/25 from three, and UM was 12/23.
Anything like that kind of differential cannot happen or we lose.
But you can say the same for any game on the road or home. Have to hit some shots. We shot like shit vs MD.
I hope the defense and rebounding gets back to a decent level each night.
One thing about our D is we do not force any TOs. We have to get extra possessions by a better rebounding margin.
That has not happened in last few games. Been out rebounded in 2 of last three games. Were just even vs MD.
Nothing easy on road anywhere.

We've got road games at MSU and at Md before then and need to get as many wins as possible in the other games before the final 3. The defensive intensity needs to come back, starting tomorrow.

Jahmir Young is that dude.
Cats threw multiple guys at Reese and forced 6 TOs out of him. Against us, he was simply backing Hawkins down and eating his lunch all game long.

Good observation. I heard Hummell taking about that too. Hawkins not physical enough to guard 5's with strength and length. He fouls too much when frustrated. That is our trade off of him being a matchup problem for other team.
We should have tried Guerrier more maybe who is stronger. Showed double more to make Reese work or give it up.
NU does that pretty well. They play a higher risk trapping D.
We play good position and packline but really do not have a center that can protect the rim, nor do we produce many TOs.
We have to really be moving our feet to stay in front to stop 2s, and get rebound position. We have not been doing that as well lately.
Have not outrebounded anyone in three games.
-
12-8 seems more likely to me unless something changes
We will see, I can see it either way. All depends if we start rebounding again.
-
I'm in the 12-8 camp also and would think worse than that may be more probable than better.

Have known Clark since 4th grade. LOL. My kid had to guard her in AAU Basketball and also Club soccer.
You can't tell on TV but she usually is the fastest player on the court. Just a generational amazing talent.
Was a little dramatic. She has always been a handful emotionally.
Have seen it all from her for years. She has really matured. Happy for her.
Supposedly makes $3 MM in NIL.

I've seen much worse from men's college players as well as NBA professionals. I think she could have been trying for an award here, but then again, the players safety should be the most important thing when fans are allowed to storm the courts.
I think there is a place for both the fans having the experience as well as maybe extra steps can now be worked out to assist in safety as a result of this happening, it could have been much worse, in this incident and many more in the past.
-
She sold it because she was blindsided and didn’t see how obviously it was an accident. Unfortunate situation, hope neither person is hurt. I don’t think either person did anything wrong, really.
Maybe she was crying because she scored 45 on 25 shots and her team still lost.
-
Her flop and throwing arms into that annoying vest wearing lady running with a cell phone out is one of the better things I've seen in college bball this year.
She's already the GOAT and this makes me like her even more. It's great.
Iowa though. Not great after CC. Don't think they'll make another run at the title this year.

Gotta love the ESPN bias, when ever at any point during a college basketball season would you even hear/read about an 11th place team in a conference that is falling apart, the same team that sports sons of 2 NBA players, at least 2 potential first round picks, and the same team that has a record of 8-11/2-6 in conference.

-
Was she always the best girl in the court since 4th grade? Was she always taller than others or did she have a later spurt?
Yes. First time we played her in 4th grade she was throwing fullcourt baseball passes to break our press and drilling threes.
She was ultra competitive and the queen. Bitched at teammates, opposing players, refs.
Had D1 college offers in junior high. Has really handled the pressure and matured and thrived.
She dates Connor McCaffery. LOL.

Then they look average against shit teams.
I think they play down to their competition.
They play Memphis twice coming up.

Illini seem to do the exact same thing now and in the past...play down to competition. I hope BU now has that figured out, but us having a hard time recently with some wins, states otherwise.

-
LOL. Good for him.
They did appear to get hosed on the last call at the baseline where the PU guard cleared out the defender trapping (and several in first half where Berry got thrown around like a ragdoll), but it was usual BT reffing all around where it is way too physical.
Never changes and just have to live with it.
It's like kids club soccer- you have to see what rules they might apply each game and how physical it will be.
I like Collins and NU looks to be a solid tourney team with a chance to win a game or two based on their guard play and coaching.
Buie is just ridiculous.
-
PU has taken close to 90 free shots in 2 games vs NU.
I'm guessing that Courtney Green doesn't do the NU at the gofs game on Sat, or their 2 following home games vs Neb and tPSU.
But maybe he will. Lol
Buie's free shot performance didn't help NU. He didn't make any, but he didn't take any either.

Our Sunday opponent is hosting the Badgers tonight. AJ Storr is cooking them. Member when he committed to us?
Badgers up 16 at half.

Wisky falling apart. 20-3 run by Nebby.

A 20-3 run for Nebraska. !!!!!!

Had to figure a run was coming

Wisky blew 6 point lead with three terrible possessions at end.
Could lose.

OT in Lincoln. Hope we see some tired Husker legs in Champaign on Sunday

Not a good shot for Nebraska at the end

They suck on road. They are really tough at home.
-
Wisky looked totally disorganized at end of reg and in OT.
Wow
-
Nebraska showed good composure til the end after their run ended.
-
All right all right all right
Hopefully Purdue gets a pissed off Wisky and we get a tired Nebraska this weekend. Makes a win against Nebraska a little better on the resume as well.
-
Second straight year the Badgers pissed away a huge lead at Pinnacle and lost.
-
Nebraska a basketball school now
Hoiberg averaging about 4 million per relevant win at Nebby
-
They suck on road. They are really tough at home.
So long as we don't do the "come out flat at home and piss the fans off" thing, we should win by double digits.
Nebraska a single play and we don't have to go to Pinnacle? You have to capitalize on that.
-
I’d like to think the fans will be jazzed up to be playing a team that just took down #6 and has beaten Purdue. Need to reestablish our home court presence and make tAH a place no one wants to play. Fans have been way too passive and fickle in recent years. Give the entire student section Adderall or something I don’t care
-
We should handle them, but it is starting to enter that later phase of season where teams pull off some upsets on road.
-
Coach just got to keep us in the top 15 moving forward I guess....LOL

Road Games to finish for all teams, potential records. Best Case Scenario obviously. Think the best will rise to late season play levels and separate themselves.
ILLINI 4-1 (lose to Wisky)

Nice win for the Gophs. Cats cooled off at the wrong time shooting 2/15 in the final 11 minutes of the game.
-
Lol @ Michigan. What a dumpster fire Coach Slappy Howard put together there.
-
Reese just scored his first 2 points on free shots, with 1 1/2 minutes to go. Terps did have a lead with a few minutes to go.
Sparty wins by 9.
A stat showed the top 3 offenses in the conference all scored 67 vs the Terps. Us, PU and xxxx.. Md leads the conference in defense.

I wonder what the ratings will show with Duke vs UNV compared to The Caitlin Clark show.
Goes to show men's college bball without true super stars well sort of sucks.

Wisky taking its shot at PU.

Containing Edey so far.

Braden Smith is a cocky little fuck.
Jones is a player.
Purdue is really a pretty complete team.
Teams will need to pull one out of their ass to beat them.
-
They also hack the fuck out of everyone and get away with it.
-
Absolutely hate watching Purdue play and can’t wait until Edey is gone. He’s like watching paint dry.

Opportunity to move in to a tie for second if we take care of Nebraska

#10 in the AP, #12 in the coaches and #14 NET.
FAU holding on at #20, Gonzaga got 2 votes and Sparty got 1 in the AP.

We just need to figure out a few things, especially on D schemes, and get a couple big wins heading into tourney.
Looks like it may be becoming Domask's team which isn't a bad thing.
Oddly, the only guy hitting threes right now is Hawkins. Still a lot better than last year overall.
-
Kansas goes down to K-State with only 7 players. Control McCullers, Kansas goes down, the rest of that team ain't good enough to carry them far this year.

UNC loses at home to unranked Clemson.

OSU win is about to be Q1 no longer. Not that it ever had a chance of holding up as a Q1 to begin with.

And Rutgers wins at Maryland.

Damn

Rutgers are road warriors lately

Sparty sitting at 7-17 on free shots.
The gofs might get a home win with 10-17 on free shots.
18 seconds to go and gofs up 3.
And the gofs with the win, outrebounding Sparty 31-28.
We'll get a pissed Sparty on Sat.
-
Gophers get it done vs Sparty.
Which means Sparty will probably beat us by 15-20 on Saturday.

I like our chances vs a team that was out-rebounded last night by the Goph's. Sparty out rebounded us barely without TSJ crashing the boards, plus this was an adjustment game vs the Goph's....next one up for us!

#3, 21,22,23 all lose last night....St Mary's, TCU and the mighty Sycamore's moving into the Top 25?

In St. is good. That coach hit the portal like a mother fucker, and got some studs. They'll get an at large, if they lose in the valley tournament.
-
Per Barttorvik, Illinois might finish 23-8, 14-6 with losses to MSU, Purdue, and Wisconsin and flirting heavily with being a 5 seed in the BTT. We really need to find a way to win 1 of those 3 games. And also not lose to Maryland again which will be a challenge. Not to mention playing Iowa on the road is never easy.
A lot of games still to be played but we are going to have to beat a couple ranked teams if we want to get off the 4-5 seed line for the NCAA tournament. We have that classic 4/5 seed resume.
Honestly we may have a better shot at beating Purdue at home than to beat MSU or Wisky on the road.
-
Who is in any position to bump us down to the 5th seed without some sort of collapse !?
-
A 4 or 5 seed is basically the same thing.
You play a one seed if you get out of the 4/5 R32 game.
Would be better to get to a 3 or drop to a 6. You play a 2 seed in S16 game.
There are only two games left in regular season that will help us move up, and a few that can hurt us.
Otherwise we need a run in BTT and knock off Wisconsin or Purdue in process.
The BT has a lot of mediocre teams that can get hot at home for a game and beat you.
FWIW CBS has us as a three seed right now. That would be a gift. Our signature win is on neutral court vs FAU who is #50 in Torvik.
-
West Region in current bracketology report:
https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2024-march-madness-men-field-predictions
Actually this 3 seed bracket would be very tough to get out of, would rather have the South however.
-
I think he meant 5th seed in BTT
-
If Correct we finish 14-6 it would be hard for us not to get at least a 4 seed or higher in the BTT. But 13-7 would open the door to that 5 seed.
-
If Correct we finish 14-6 it would be hard for us not to get at least a 4 seed or higher in the BTT. But 13-7 would open the door to that 5 seed.
No way that there would four teams ahead of us in BTT if we have a 13-7 record.
Everybody besides the top 3 are just not that good. BT may only have 5 teams in dance if they are not careful.
I think only us and Wisconsin will get 13 or more wins. Purdue will have 15+ wins.
We will get a 2 or 3 seed in BTT barring a collapse in second half which I do not see happening.
The problem is that there is little to be gained in BTT unless we get to semis and beat one of Purdue (or presumably Wisconsin if they stay near the top).
Otherwise an earlier loss to an unranked bubble team, which is always possible, hurts us in NCAAs.
The BT is 4th worse P6 this year. Being a bigger frog in a small pond has only so much value.
-
Just win baby

Yeah- you can only play who is on schedule at this point.
We have some opportunities to take to another level.

Sycamores with the hammer down tonight, gonna be a very tough out come March.

Wisconsin 5/19 from three, 13/19 free shots, 20/35 from two.
Michigan 5 blocks.

Thought Wisconsin was kind of a fraud all along, but losing to Michigan on the heels of two heartbreakers is soul crushing
-

They were over rated when ranked 6th for sure but AP rankings are kind of a joke. They have very solid lineup and one top level W vs Marquette.
They look like the third best team, and maybe 2nd best in BT if we falter. Worst case for them is probably 12 wins unless they fall apart.
Probably a 4/5 seed in NCAA.
Speaking of seeds- how would you like to see a 5 seed (per CBS) Auburn? They really get after it. #4 in KenPom. #3 in Torvik.
-

They have go to the RAC Saturday. Rutgers is riding high off consecutive road wins. That could be another problem spot for the Badgers.
-
Wisconsin is one injury from being relevant now or into March, they are not very deep to say the least.
If AJ Storr is that one incident...well they are really done for.

I would have put them in the 10-14 range in the conference. Maybe 13th and 14th. They may end up 10-13 with Sven's team hanging on to 14th.

Johnson has done a good job this year. We better beat them.
-
FAU losing in OT to UAB?
Arizona/Utah 105-99 3 OT!!!
-
WTFIFAUD
-
They had time for a decent shot there. Welp. Our signature win takes another hit.
-
FAU is 25th in NET right now. Just need them to stay in top 50 NET for our win against them to be Q1.
They had been playing better before tonight winning 7 in a row. FGCU and Bryant losses are serious anchors on their resume though. Probably should still make the tourney.
-
I’m not so worried about them being a Q1 win as I am them being our signature win. Kinda feels like we will have to find a way to finish 7-2 and beat Purdue to justify anything better than that 4/5 line. Of course it’s a crazy year and everyone around us keeps losing, but we just can’t go into the tourney with FAU being our best win. 100% chance we get buttfucked in second round matchup against a top 10 KenPom team again like Auburn if we don’t take care of business.

We don't want anything to do with an Auburn. Nasty.
We need a win vs PU or Wisky assuming Wisky isn't imploding by the time we play them.

Tournament success is like curb appeal. It's what casual observers notice.

Badgers tanking hard.
-
Go Rutgers! Wisconsin in a free fall lately…
-
I have mixed feelings about the Badgers free fall. Makes our double bye much easier to get and could help lock us into a top two finish if we get a W today. On the other hand it will still be tough to beat them in Kohl and a win won’t be nearly as good if we indeed manage one.

Badgers down by 21 !!!!!!

Who is this Jeremiah Williams? /s

Gard has clearly lost his team.

This years tourney may very well have the most higher seeded upsets ever in the first round. According to the current Bracketology, I could see as many as 12 lower ranked teams winning the first game.
This year will be a wild ride, it has been already.

Yeah I remember a few folks that were disgruntled because Underwood couldn't make a Michelin star meal out of the shit sandwich of a roster Groce left him. Holtmann walked into a Thad Matta constructed roster and it just so happened to be his best year at OSU. He followed that up with middle of the pack finishes, and he had EJ Liddell for a few of those.

Mark Smith debacle, his failed freshman season, the publicity behind it in the St. Louis region...not surprised at all that Liddell didn't want to come here. Underwood got ALOT of blame in the papers and behind the scenes with families to my recollection. Jamall Walker was the lead recruiter (had to look that one up), getting old.

They’re just reverting to the mean. They were an NIT team last year that added a good player and had a soft schedule to start the B1G.

I'm sure they will suddenly find it again when we come to town.

Why isn’t it a moving screen when Edey backs a guy down to clear the lane for his guards to drive?

They get away with a lot more than just that. I think i seen a stat where Purdues opponents have had more fouls called them than Purdue in 63 of their last 64 games in the last 2 years.

The ladies got a big win today roughing up the #14 Hoosiers 86-66.

Houston and Iowa State should be a dandy
-
The Cyclones lighting it up at a pace to finish with 16 points.
-
Yeah they really look overmatched here in the early going
-
Refs swallowing the whistle and letting Houston play that physical is gonna make it tough for anyone to beat them anywhere let alone at home
-
How is Houston getting away with all these fouls?! Iowa State is fouled on every single possession. Unbelievable and very egregious.
-
It does seem really lopsided.
-
Announcers discussing the physicality as well and how it’ll translate to NCAA tournament.
-
My God, they’re letting them kill each other out here in this game 😂
Edit- don’t get me wrong, I like this play better than the touch foul bullshit.
-
Total 180 here in the second half. That’s why these refs take so much shit. Literally two different definitions on what is and isn’t a foul from one half to the next.
-
It’s a slippery slope with allowing physical play. When games get super physical I think it makes the officials’ jobs even harder, which is the last thing they need.
I personally like seeing the higher scoring games the last several years. Part of that is more possessions due to shot clock changes and other rules, but it’s also partially due to cracking down on some of the rugby style shit that had come to be the norm in certain leagues. The B1G was notoriously slow to adapt but is slowly coming around. Consistency is still a huge issue obviously, and no one really seems to know how to officiate Edey.
-
It is always enlightening to me to watch a game in person near floor level. Refs have thankless jobs. The game of basketball is so fast and physical as hell and the court is way smaller than it looks on TV with the size and length.
If they called everything that could be a foul nobody would make it through a game.
Generally they do a good job. I have ref friends and one gets assigned to D1 games sometimes. He just texted me about coaches in recent games going over the top and having to T
them up.
A job I would not do in a million years.
And yeah, the B12 is a war out there. Houston and ISU play some serious D.
-
They catch a lot of shit, and many times rightfully so because they have such an impact on the outcome, but it is a bitch of a job and I’m not sure they are put in the best position to succeed.
-
They can't win no matter what.
Also they get rated on their performance every game. A lot of pressure.
-
Iowa starting to play better.
Can't sleep on them when we play them.
-
Iowa will be a problem. We get em twice down the stretch. Their big guys will be problems for us in the paint. They are abusing MSU down there and thats with MSU making 3s
-
Very likely our games against Iowa will be a shootout. Could see both teams going into the 80s and even 90s.

Their top 6 guys in the rotation can all score the ball on a given night. McCaffery off the bench is out of his funk. Sandford is a bucket.
Perkins can get hot as we know. Krikke is clever scorer and has nice midrnage. Freeman dunks a lot and has an uncanny nose for the ball and they find him.
Dix is a decent shooter. They move the ball and run a clever offense with a lot of cutting and screens and rescreens, and of course love to run like hell.
They also press a little bit and play some zone to try and cover up their general disinterest on defense. They have been playing hard lately.
I think if they have 9 wins when playing us at home in Iowa City it will be very tough to get out of town with a W.

Dix is a decent shooter. They move the ball and run a clever offense with a lot of cutting and screens and rescreens, and of course love to run like hell.
They also press a little bit and play some zone to try and cover up their general disinterest on defense. They have been playing hard lately.
I think if they have 9 wins when playing us at home in Iowa City it will be very tough to get out of town with a W.
Owen Freeman from Illinois would’ve been a nice get for us in recruiting, but I don’t think we went after him at all really.

Wow. They are hot.
Yep. Just raining threes all over Uconn's candy asses.

Really that kid has developed beyond what anyone would have ever thought at this point.
I watched him several times in HS here locally. Looked like he had potential down the road.
Sort of like one of those Wisconsin guys who becomes pretty good by their senior year.
Was like #182 nationally but did have several high D1 offers per 247. He has been really good for them.

Houston will be #1 if they can get by Baylor Saturday

There was stat flashed on the screen last night about home team winning percentage in P6 conferences. BT was leading with 70%, but they were all in the 60's which is typical.
I think the general rule of thumb in BT for years has been home teams win about 2/3 of the games overall.

Yeah watching Houston now and they are a clear reflection of what Underwood wants us to be. We’re like a poor man’s version of them currently 😂
Oh and they’re DAMN GOOD!

Houston plays grown ass man defense and I don’t want to see them embarrass us, but if it means we made it to the second weekend I’d take it in a heartbeat.
Houston is the rich man’s version of what Brad was trying to do early in his stint here. These days we seem to be the upper middle class man’s Iowa.

I think a lot of that defense has to do with pride and effort for Houston too. I don’t see us putting that in like we were earlier in the season. We definitely have potential.

Payton Sanford with the first triple-double in Iowa history tonight in a win against Penn State. Hard to believe it’d never been done before their history. Especially having Luka Garza as two-time NPOTY.

Iowa is still in the hunt to sneak into NCAA's. Needs to win @ NU, or Illinois at home to have any chance, and then win at least one in BTT and hope they make it in.
Going to be a tough one at Carver.

Kansas no longer a favored team imo....without McCullers, pedestrian at best.
Projected #2 seed but do they stay there? Losses are telling, and their last 3 are not easy. At Baylor/Houston, home with K-State who they lost too already. 21-7 becomes 21-10 easily #4 seed then?

Don't care what the "journalist" said but Woodson and the former coach of Sven's team deserved to be on the hot seat. As well as the former tOSU coach, but that didn't fit the narrative.
I'm not sure the gofs coach ever was on the hot seat but that didn't fit the narative either.

Amy team INDIANA included, will be hard pressed to let a "average" to "good" coach go with all the firings so far. Some of these schools would probably take a Woodson in a heartbeat if available. He is not the worst out there, he is nowhere near the best though either.

Yes and no. I also think it’s about consistency. I think this call was the right call.
I also think the call against Philly in the SB was pretty much bullshit. It was the only holding call of the game, and there were obvious plays where Jersey pulls happened and weren’t called. I also think the KC receiver had virtually no chance to catch the pass foul or no foul.

Football is crazy. Half the passes downfield are thrown with the only intention to try and draw pass interference.
And agree the calling of that and holding is very inconsistent.

Fucking squirt guns here we come

This year just ended up being another UConn Buttfucking Invitational.

Saw him when showing a UConn player celebrating a bucket. 2 Hawkins shots. 1 Rodgers, I believe.

UCONN is the new Duke, Kentucky, Kansas of the world.
Hurley makes it very easy to root against and dislike them as a basketball team.

Why all the animosity for Hurley? Total legendary gym rat family.
His dad was an iconic coach. Obviously his brother's accomplishments speak for themselves.
He actually played successfully in D1 at Seton Hall. He coached in HS and paid his dues for years.
Nobody handed him anything.
That team was the most fundamentally sound, well constructed, and cohesive roster in the country. He has a staff that helps create great gameplans and adjustments.
He should continue to do well because of his work ethic and ability at every aspect of the job, and players seem to want to play for him despite (or because of) his relentless intensity.

5 three point attempts for Purdue. Wow.
Painter called Underwood for advice
-
I don't get the hate either, his whining and crying to the refs and standing on the court during games are about the only things I can see people disliking. He's always complimentary to teams he's whopping the shit out of and seems just like a typical east coast tell you like it is guy.

We're not projected as a contender as it stands right now.

Well we’re missing about 5 players and no real contributions from this season coming back. I wouldn’t worry about it. We’ll be there eventually next season.
-
Yeah, we could have four new starters.
Crazy stuff.
-
Cautiously optimistic about Domask. That would be huge. Somehow Coleman comes back and we have a core we can really build around. They don’t and it’s gonna be a big pile of who the fuck knows. Do think the staff has earned a little trust after this last go around. But improvements can be made for sure. Hopefully Brad is looking at the UConn model.

Agreed, but UCONN nearly had to do that, worked out pretty well there. Granted we are not UCONN, 6 titles in 25 years and IF we were, I would argue we would be the most insufferable fan base out there. LOL

5 new starters would not be surprising whatsoever, but I think they can be 6-7 seed since Underwood's had success with the transfer portal. Just can't see another season like this year with so much roster turnover.
