Basketball is (kinda) back tonight. Of course I don’t think we can make any final determinations one way or the other until January 16th.

I thought that theory was shown to not hold water last year.
I could be mistaken tho.
And hopefully Jasn is going to provide some observations.

Anybody paying good money to watch this exhibition?

Is this basically aggregated pirate streams? Used to have a jailbroken Firestick 6-8 years ago and this kind of seems like Kodi.

Nah dude we swear by that theory for every sport here.

Sure it wasn’t 3 to 5 years ago?

We're playing the NAIA Braves with an arrowhead as their logo ?

How’s the free-throw shooting going? Any freshmen bigs going 0-4? Need to know if I should panic.

Yeah, but how did the Free Shot shooting look in warm ups?
-
So it's like 10 bucks for 4 games, decided to take the plunge and the feed is horrible lol go figure, better than nothing i suppose
-
We haven't made a free shot yet.

I seem to remember hearing the feed is awful and the announcers are students.

Lots of 3s and dunks though 🤔

I'm just looking at stats, no video. We haven't taken 1 yet. Lol
12 min gone and they haven't either.
-
Ottawa is really bad one guy on their team thinks he's steph curry jacking up 30 footers lol
-
Domask seems like he is a really smart player great court awareness from him so far
-
Oh and Shannon missed a ft on an and 1
-
Hansberry has good hands he's a bit undersized though it seems
-
7/17 on 3's
6/9 on free shots.
Not bad, not bad...so far.
-
16-20 from 2.
-
It's so hard to gather anything from this crappy competition but looking good so far

14 assists with only 5 turnovers will do that.
-
Rodgers still can't shoot ft
Looks good driving to the lane though
-
New announcer trope just dropped
"Everyone on our team can run a sub 5:30 mile"
-
Nobody else watching eh lol
-
7/17 on 3's
6/9 on free shots.
Not bad, not bad...so far.
14/42(LOL) from three
12/22 on free shots.
Welcome back to reality.
-
Post-game stats said 13/39 from 3
43/74 overall
Scrubs played a lot of minutes but we did shoot far worse in the 2nd half
-
I forgot about the damn thing. Thanks 97.
-
97, who was bricking the Free Shots? Starter? Regular bench guys? End of the benchers? I feel like we should be concerned and Tempo will get riled up.
-
Sorry I’m gonna have to do observations since Jasn is still on his sabbatical. I’m watching the highlights on The YouTube. Most of the misses were in garbage time late by subs.
I was so focused on the PG situation all off-season that I didn’t really give credence to all the newcomers, and they look really good for the most part.
Domask is really solid, Harmon will help, Hansberry and DGL are going to be really good at some point. Guerrier is a proven producer.
I know it’s against Ottawa, but we can examine how the new guys look compared to our players who have played at this level before, and these guys look like they belong.
PG is obviously still a major concern, but I came away feeling pretty good about this squad. I still don’t see them challenging for a B1G title but I think they’ll be a big step up from last year.
-
I will say this team looks a lot deeper than last year's squad as well, lots of interchangeable parts and a lot of kids that can do many things
-
Team looks much more mobile/athletic and interchangeable for the most part realizing it is Ottawa.
DGL-Moretti look really comfortable and will own the PG by year end imo.
Rodgers looks good penetrating, however gets to low, doesn't look to shoot, only looks to dump out, cannot make a free throw.
NBA er's looked the part, Coleman didn't look flustered, and TSJ went right a few times, both will help their stock status imo.
Domask is a really really consistant player, especially a passer it seems.
Hansberry will be our below the rim rebounder, has a knack for the ball.
Dain looks the same, a little more athletic possibly.
Harris will only get time if defense is there
Harmon spot shooter at best, in over his head from an athletic, talent standpoint.
-
I look at the box and see the starters at 7-21 from 3 and the bench with the same but Hansberry with a double double in 14 minutes.
-
12/22 on free shots.
Welcome back to reality.
This probably has PAMan in the fetal position. I’m sort of freaking the fuck out myself.
-
Ottawa’s free shot defense was solid.
-
Tempo will be happy...

Illinois shot 12 of 22 from the free throw line in Friday's exhibition win against Ottawa (Kan.). That's just 54.5 percent. But Brad Underwood isn't worried. Terrence Shannon Jr. making all six he attempted and Justin Harmon going 3 of 4 stood out more to the Illini coach.
Especially Shannon. With the new block/charge rules, the veteran guard might be a frequent visitor at the free throw line. He shot 79 percent at the line last season on just shy of seven attempts per game.
But Illinois is coming off a season where it shot 67.9 percent at the line as a team. That was among the 50 worst teams in the country, and one of the primary culprits a year ago (Ty Rodgers) missed all three of his attempts in the exhibition game. And 54.5 percent still 54.5 percent.
"There's a lot of reasons for that, I guess," Illinois coach Brad Underwood said. "Ty missed a few. I think we're a really good free throw shooting team. We've shown that in practice. Guys that get to the line, Terrence made all of his and Justin. (Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn) is going to make them. We've got some guys shooting them that probably won't in real games, but, yeah, we'll be good."

Ty Rodgers puts the throw in free throw

Telling comment imo, before the season starts up....

Yeah, if you believe bullshit from coaches.

Telling as in Gibbs will be running the show imo before the conference season starts. Rodgers is a player, not a facilitator, and as such cannot have the ball in his hands during any crucial moment...Little Italy and DGL will be guiding the ship. Rodgers may start there, but it won't be all Jolly for us or him.

Moretti didn't show much in the exhibition other than a really stupid pass, don't think he can shoot or make a layup, at least rodgers can make a layup and rebound
I would wager that DGL will get more minutes though as the season goes on, he looks solid for a freshman.

Well I did say both? Little Italy, maybe Little time, but none the less, Rodgers will be supplanted by conference time by someone. He is far better being our swiss army knife, do it all.

14 minutes. 4 assists. 3 rebounds. 1 turnover. 1steal. Didn't shoot well. 1-4. 2 points.
I watched the long highlights. Looked okay to me.

he looked like he could have maybe started for Ottawa
not really seeing a b1g caliber player, but whatever
-
For some reason Nichi wants to suck Moretti's cock. Like real bad.
Maybe Moretti is his great great great great great great grandson.

Noted. But it's getting much more difficult to trust anything he says. We're also a great free throw shooting team, per Coach.

yes, don't forget the Alex Legion "never missing a shot in practice" crap either lol
and jaylon tate was a good passer too, not going to say he should have been a b1g starter either
-
Was there a bigger nothingburger in Illini history than Alex Legion? I’m struggling to think of one.
-
Moretti looks to me like an ****, PeeU, Wiscky, caliber offensive player. He has obvious big time ball handling and passing skills. He will shoot well. Sees the court. I don't know if he fits into Uberwood's defense, he might be too small too slow.
For the kids, uber is a German adjective meaning over, above, super.

This is true.
Underwood is an elite bullshitter.
We will know more about the point guard situation after game tomorrow.
I am assuming we play more of the planned rotation and minutes.
I would feel better about this team's ceiling if this staff could actually really coach.
Until they show that we are only Top 30ish.
Most guys here could get us that with this depth.
