Former Illini in action tonight:

Dain Dainja vs Missouri: No made FGs, but 2/2 from the line! That's a win in itself.

Nico Moretti vs Indiana St: 19 pts, 5 rebounds, 3 assists. 7/9 FGs. Nichi, you still with us?

Amani Hansberry vs Robert Morris: 9 pts, 12 rebounds

Sencire Harris vs Robert Morris: 4 pts, 4 rebounds

I truly and honestly believe we are better off without all of them. We have much better players currently.

And Dug McDaniel didn't even get into the game. When they asked Tang why Dug didn't play he just said "coaches decision" and left it at that. Been telling people for months that KSU has the most overrated transfer class. I've also had several Sparty fans try to tell me that Tre Donaldson was a downgrade lol.

Right there with you.

I do think it was a kinda weak call but that doesn't excuse his childish temper tantrum that cost Uconn the win in OT or his punk ass behavior postgame blaming the refs and calling out a Memphis player for making a "half-assed" effort on the rebound. I don't care how many championships he's won. Who the fuck are you criticizing an opposing player's effort? Fucking asshole.

Hurley is a TOOL a 5* one at that...success breeds jealousy, I get it, but his narcissist personality is way overboard. This year will not age well for UCONN or him, I would venture to say. He does not have a 3 peat team, and may not even make it out of the 2nd weekend.

 I would not be surprised to see the recruiting take a hit as well. He has 1 5* and 3 4* coming in next year, lets see if he keeps them.

Best Lineups for us moving into B1G play:

Starting 5

KJ ( 1st all around everything for us)

BOZ ( 2nd primary ball handler and 1 defense)

Will (2nd primary ball handler-1A scorer)

REZ ( Can guard 4's and also can handle rebounding with White out)

Tomi ( Could be our most important player this year...including KJ)

2nd 5:

DGL ( Obviously not has talented as the starters across the board- can spot all of them in the guard slots for approx 15-18 minutes a game)

Humrichous ( less pressure, handles rebounding/can guard some/can shoot more)

White (athletic/can rebound/score/handle the rock-if we can keep him, he will be B1G for us next year imo)

Booth (needs to bulk up, has skill set, just not the ability in high level games on perimeter defense)

Davis spot minutes, although I could see BU using him more before then to get some seasoning and depth built up.

Curbelo in more trouble.  Sad

Found this and it is not even a month old....sounds as if Andre Curbelo maybe needs some help getting mentally stronger off the court, as well as deciding even if he wants to play then or now. Wonder if that is what prompted this???

https://www.wdam.com/video/2024/11/03/time-out-with-southern-miss-guard-andre-curbelo/

He just sounds as if he struggles, even in the way he talks about his game, the team play, seems to hesitate with thoughts. I hope he gets the help he needs, whether he plays again or not.

Didn't mind the hype train when you was punking everyone in the path to glory....just your hole now Danny Girlie.

If your gonna claim to be the KING of the Mountain and you certainly have been for 2 years, well a few other teams may want to take that King Kong swing at you.

Gotta take the good with the bad. As the great Valvano once said Don't give up, Never Give Up. In Girlie's case: Just Shut Up, Please just Shut Up. What a TOOL.

True.
"Notched the second triple-double in Southern Miss history against Georgia State. He had 13 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds..."

"Last season, Curbelo, who transferred from St. John's and played first at Illinois, missed the first 10 games because of a pending NCAA eligibility waiver. He was then in and out of the lineup due a concussion. Curbelo had a triple-double on Jan. 4 against Georgia State, the program's first since 1980."

Just watched a really good game BYU vs Iowa State...BYU wins in double OT. Saunders and Hall can both ball out for them. They will be a tough draw for anyone.

I will say the Euro guards all have a distinct issue with T/O's. Demin had 6 turnovers and he didn't even handle the ball as much as KJ. 1 game maybe, he has had 19 in the last 5 games. KJ for us just had a 7 T/O game which prompted some moves imo, and he has had 14 in the last 5 games.

That said I will give this staff credit for getting the best guard of the two players overall, and we got the B1G bonus with the best Ivisic brother of the two as well.

Texas A/M has 8 seniors, look out for them come March, Arizona looks like they play down to their opponents ( they will not get into the Sweet 16 imo), Kansas looks ordinary, Miss St is going the wrong way at the wrong time (may help us with seeding).

Dainja Zone with 19-8 tonight. Good for you Big Fella, Purdue got 46 from Loyer/Smith, lets see Friday what they combined for. Vandy losing to the Hogs, that will kill them for getting in/seeding. Groce got the Zips 16-1 in conference, 24-6 overall, he seems to be a really good JV coach.

Good game overall tonight, really good games.

We're officially locked in as the 7 seed in the BTT. Our Thursday opponent will be the winner of OSU vs NW/USC/Iowa I'm guessing. Still lots to unpack tomorrow there.

If we advance, Michigan or Maryland will be waiting for us.

Jayden Epps with a nice airball FT as Georgetown loses to Depaul..again..for the third time.

I would like to think that even a bullshit school like the University of Illinois would score at least one win over Depaul.

Underwood wanted to play 5 out and Dainja didn’t fit that. He sat for long stretches last year even when playing well because having him on the floor clogging the lane kind of wrecked everything else we were trying to do with Domask booty ball and TSJ attacking the basket. I’m glad he’s doing well. Not convinced he’d be putting up the same numbers in the B1G.

It doesn't take a genius to see he is not a B1G player right now.

He has good length and raw athletic talent. That is why they recruited him.

Of course, coaches only see the players in practices, in games, and on.game film. They don't have the special insights we, as fans, possess.

Booth has been startlingly incompetent all season. He has the tools, but seems like he’s in outer space. The sequence he had in one game where he checked in, tried to get a rebound and had it bounce off his head out of bounds was a microcosm of his time here. Guessing he’s just not a good fit with this team/staff and Brad is yelling at him too much.
