7 pm BTN
These guys just lost to WIU Friday night I think.

Hawkins is out with a knee so I think we’ll cover

Gonna miss air balls from 3 and the bitching, moaning and complaining crap?
-
Is anyone watching this game?
-
Yeah
-
It appears Illini just trading baskets. But I'm mainly focused on the Hawks game
-
Kinda. Dainja might score 40.
-
Nice baseline move by Dainja for the reverse layup
-
Nichi is creaming himself right now probably.

Came here to post this
No pun intended

Apparently Bardo has not said anything to piss people off...yet
-
How'd Danja miss that dunk?
-
WTF is Moretti doing against the press?
-
The dancing bear is struggling to finish.
-
Southern's press is giving us fits
-
WTF is Moretti doing? JFC
-
WTF is Moretti doing against the press?
Moretti is probably thinking about Nichi taking out his dentures and gumming his penis.
Probably distracted.

One would think the B1G teams are going to study that film...

Didn’t have control of it when he got it up to the rim

Or Underwood would make some adjustments...

Shannon with authority

I doubt I can replicate his dismissive laugh

Shannon looks great. Need this effort every half every game

I hope he practiced his Free Shots yesterday

What about 3 point shots?

DGL needs to practice his free shots

The Fighting Shannons are looking very good right now
-
Oh oh. Moretti tripped over Nichi
-
Moretti down. Nichi's heart just sank.

DGL's mom is probably happy

He called bank. I heard it.
-
Moretti. Snake bite.

Moretti. Snake bite.
Maybe we will get a Photoshop of Moretti with the snake biting his crotch like the one with Weber from back in the day
-
Moretti is playing well, DGL would get more playing time, if he didn't try to highlight reel everything.
TSJ IS an All-American
Dainja SHOULD be starting when game plan sets up for it.
Domask gets lost in some of the game action
Rodgers is a WING, and a damn good one.
The rest of this team is complimentary at best.
Overall good first half, defense started poor, then picked up nicely...as TSJ said It's too damn easy...LOL
-
DGL got his ass posterized. That was brutal.
-
Domask living up to his last name tonight.
-
I have a novel idea…let’s sit our runaway freight train of an All American before he gets hurt pulling some Superman stunt in a game we are up 30+. I know they’re trying to pad his stats but I’ve seen enough.
-
Where's Hawkins today

He has a knee.

DGL needs to hydrate better.
Check that. Probably rolled his ankle on Robb taking pictures under the basket.

He Knee'd's someone to help him with that attitude....knee's didn't look like he was hurt sitting on the bench bent over and looking less than involved for most of the game.

Harris is going to have burn his redshirt at this rate.

How much do people expect all these guys to play once things get serious? What is the rotation here?
-

Shannon has really improved. He is going to make an NBA roster.
We are a mess at PG. The offense is simply bad with Rodgers on top or Rodgers on the floor. Moretti looked much more like a possibly usable player. But his injury looked bad. If that is high ankle kiss him goodbye for a few weeks. As noted DGL tries to do too much at times.
We were 5-22 from 3. Other than Goode right now we are terrible from three.
Oh, and 21 TOs.

He’s alluding to the fact our guards kept getting hurt and leaving the game.

Good question. We have another scrimmage game on Friday. With Hawkins being out and playing poorly and nobody has stepped up at PG, and really nobody but TSJ playing well, I think they will be searching for several games. Goode making a case for major minutes as a shooter. Domask is really uneven but needs to be out there.
I think we will see TSJ and Domask and Hawkins playing 30+ minutes a game and the rest is up for grabs.
-

Does anyone but Nichi expect Moretti to get decent minutes once the real games begin? DGL?
I have no clue as have been only watching off and in when not on BTN+.

Harmon, Hansberry and Moretti at least showed a little bit tonight, albeit against a severely overmatched team. Shannon was 1-5 on threes, think he was too open.
-
We are now 39 - 131 for 29% on 3PFGs.
We are taking 26 per game.
I think against fundamentally sound defenses with a rim protector we are going to struggle a lot.

Harmon got undressed on one play, where Bardo referred to lingerie...can't see Underachiever liking that.
-

I don’t think so. Hope is that DGL can keep getting more and more minutes at PG.
-

I’m sure he didn’t, but he did have a decent stat line in 15 mins of play and made a three. Gotta start somewhere.
-
All joking aside about Moretti’s cock in everyone's mouth, he showed some ability to go north south with speed with the ball and his head up, see the floor a little bit, and make entry passes.
Rodgers is out of position and cannot stay in front of quicker guards. Have no idea what they will be trying to piece together. It’s fucked if Moretti is hurt and DGL is trying too hard to make an And1 Mixtape. Harmon is just a guy.
TSJ is going to have a lot on his shoulders once we hit the serious games in December.

I do after tonights game dependent of course on nature of injury? Some can say what they will, but at least tonight and some of the last game, the kid had a flow going for us with sets and up tempo but under control. Would not shock me to see Rodgers go to the wing and us have a starting lineup of:
TSJ
Moretti
Rodgers
Domask
Dainja
Off bench
Hawkins
Guerrier
Goode
Hansberry
DGL

Going from Utah Valley whatever to a B1G schedule, as lackluster as the league may be, is quite the step, don't you think?

Good bench guy, nothing else, gets to say he went to Illinois vs Utah Valley. Good for him.

He is trusted ahead of both DGL and Moretti in rotation right now overall.
I can bet that in the stretch he will be in more vs an FAU or Tenn or Rutgers.
We have no great options. None of Rodgers, Harmon, DGL, or Moretti should be starting or playing major minutes anywhere in a power conference, but we have to play somebody out there whether we like it or not.
-
I guess this is good as any place to post this instead of starting a new thread but man our teams statistics this year are god awful. This is after the Southern game.
We 54 for 93 from the foul line 58%
In 5 games we have shot 131 3 pointers only made 39. Good for 29% :-\
And to cap it off we have 70 assists to 66 turnovers with just 1 player Terrance Shannon in averaging double figures through 5 games.

Agree with all of that, he is still just a bench guy. The ILLINI got passed over by alot of transfers this past year, yes they got some also, but that is the reason he is on our team. Any other P-5 team, he is just a bench guy, same as with us...he just gets more PT here.

So the shooting is not much difft than last year but the free shots are worse.
As LKDog has said repeatedly, roll the ball out and see what shakes is not a sound strategy.

We have a major problem with our halfcourt offense right now.
We can't shoot and we do not have any offensive flow.
Everything is east west. Except TSJ who just takes matters into his own hands.
They tried running the fucking weave faster last night. Oh boy.
Then TSj just said, fuck it- nobody can guard me and let's get this over with.
Yes. Dainja feasts on weaker low D1 teams.
UW is committed to playing Hawkins at the 5 because Dainja is much less effective vs decent bigs.
Our only real scoring threat is TSJ. Domask is not getting looks or being put in situations to score.
We have one guy averaging double figures.
Here is an interesting stat.
Harding from Iowa has played 40 minutes all year in 4 games.
Has 17 Assists.
That would lead Illinois.

Another interesting stat.
Goode is 14-30 from three.
TSJ is 12-33.
The rest of team is 13-65. 20%.
Guerrier is 1-16. He is playing very tight.
We are 249th in the country on 3P%.
Hopefully these new guys who are proven (Domask and Guerrier) settle in.
Amazingly Moretti looked decent even with stopping to service several cocks in his mouth along the way.
But, he is just a guy who can dribble and pass with his head up. We have such a low bar on this team. ::)
If Moretti is not hurt seriously, he and DGL need to play more. Go with it.
End the Rodgers experiment.

That could all be a problem come Jan 16th.

yeah Rodgers is actually quite good at being a garbage man around the hoop, nothing more
he's extremely athletic but can't shoot or defend a PG so wtf is he bringing to the table at PG

As well as January 6th.

well we have 2 PG's on the roster that we recruited for that role so ???

Apparently has a sore penis from Nichi sucking too hard on it.

Hansbury had a nice stat line. 22 min, +19. 8 pts, 4-5. 7 rebounds, 2 off. 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 to, 2 pfs.
Guerrier 5-6, Dainja 5-7, Shannon 7-8 from 2.
Rodgers 5 rebounds, 4 off, in 13 minutes..
Led 75 - 41 with 6:25 left.
Yes, it was Southern U.
-

That’s probably a 3-5 day injury sounds like.
-
It's peak Illinois that i say "hey, Moretti might be usable!" 30 seconds before he goes down and can't walk on his own power.
-
Someone has to play the position.
It will be Moretti. 1) He IS a PG 2) He up tempo's under control 3) He sees the passing lanes with ease 4) He handles it better in transition probably not named TSJ, and 5) TSJ already thinks he IS a good PG. TSJ voice will have him on the court imo. Let's see.
I thought DGL would be the PG by conference season, I was wrong, DGL just tries to hit too many homeruns...we need Moretti to facilitate and add some points, we don't need a homerun PG, when we have a homerun Alpha. This will get Rodgers back to his best area of play as well...wing/cut/rebound/ block shots...etc.
-
Forgot to mention that Guerrier's shooting is affected by a wrist injury.
Moretti has a foot injury. Severity unknown.
