Marks post as "useful." Thanks, Rob. Who has the line?
-
I appreciate the work our second rate reporter does for us.
-
I like Rob. He is good guy and does a good job.
KenPom has us losing by one so I am sure Vegas has it as something like a Pick Em or a +1 or -1 either way.
This will be a tough one to get as they have two mobile scoring bigs and they are pretty good at home (13-1).
-

I agree. The second rate comment is from another thread.
It's hard to keep up with all the BS on here. lol
-

And it has been alleged in another thread that he is a 400 lb. Based on the videos and the game footage I have seen, he is sneaky big!
-

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Like, if he's 400 lbs, he must be 9 feet tall.

Good to know you lie and do read my posts.

Both their bigs have not faired well against Kofi in the past...that said kiss of death for us now... :o
-
Rob Phinisee is reported out tomorrow for Indiana per Woodson. Big plus for Illinois!
-
Indiana -1.5
IU hard to figure out. They beat Purdue at home. But got blown out by a bad Michigan team. They also blew a 22 point at Wisconsin.
Give me Illinois to win. I’m 0/4 on Illini games it’s my kiss of death
-
Well fuck
-
It’s difficult for me to come up with things I find less boring than coach/player interviews.
-
Check this out.

IU hard to figure out.
Like Illinois, because they've had multiple rotation players miss multiple games.
https://illinireport.info/2022/02/high-noon/
-
Nice write up Rob. Hoosiers play good defense so tomorrow will be an absolute war. Limit TOs and make FT.
-
Did I say less? I meant more.
-
Benetti and Hummel today.
-
Boroski and Courtney Green.
-
2 turnovers and a foul on Grandison, ouch.
-
Damn that was a good block by Davis. Bad call.
-
Glad Underwood got Grandison outta there quick. He doesn’t seem to have it today and great substitution right away.
TDJ has two quick fouls which is definitely a plus for us!
-
Ticky tack fouls coming the entire game need to adjust.
-
Damonte looked like his dad on that step-back three
-
Hey Tempo,
I'm one of the 5 starters again today.

-
Fucking box out!!!
-
Wtf are these refs doing?!?!?! This is complete horseshit!!
-
Unreal
-
Goode with a dumb intentional foul
-
Bo's a bitch.
-
I stated he was the worst ref in the NCAA
-
I swear illinois never gets any home cooking calls like these other teams do.
-
Getting worked by a bunch of hustle dorks.
-
The missed trip/wipe out followed by a stupid move by Goode and an abuse of discretion flagrant call is possibly the worst 5 seconds of 1st half basketball I've seen in some time. Holy shit that was stupid, and of course they go on a mini-run after we get kicked in the junk.
-
Boroski and Courtney Green.
They blow big time, screw up every game.
-
Well I guess the refs don’t call trips as fouls now.
-

Are you a fucking moron?

This Indiana team has very little talent when TJD is on the bench.
Terrible game from Kofi so far
-

Kofi has the touch of a jackhammer so far today.

Curbello can u make a layup?

Hey Tempo,
I'm coming off the bench again today.

You didn’t see him make one on a curl 5 minutes ago?
-
Payne is a goon.
-

Indiana is #1 in defensive efficiency in the big ten.

Kofi can't do a thing against the Herp Derp kid.

You’re a moron. If Illinois were to win the national title who would be more likely to be the reason why. Grandison or Curbelo?
-
You didn’t see him make one on a curl 5 minutes ago?
he's 1 for 3 in layups. Good job curbello.
-
I don’t know what you’re trying to prove. Unless you’re trying to prove you’re a moron. Because you’re doing that successfully.
-
he's 1 for 3 in layups. Good job curbello.
Who so far is playing great for Illinois?
-
That’s a fucking foul!!!

(https://i.ibb.co/F5qWtLy/Screenshot-20220205-111209.jpg) (https://ibb.co/v3vB86T)
He left the game about 3 minutes in, and has been on a milk carton since.
-
You’re a moron. If Illinois were to win the national title who would be more likely to be the reason why. Grandison or Curbelo?
You're a fucking moron. Curbelo hasn't started in 2 1/2 months.
It's a team game.
-
The fact we are tied given the circumstances I am happy.
-
That’s a fucking foul!!!
Borowski doing all he can to keep Indiana from falling behind.
-
You're a fucking moron. Curbelo hasn't started in 2 1/2 months.
It's a team game.
Hahahahaha
Ok. What exactly are you arguing? I have almost no inkling what your point is. But yes; you’re right, he hasn’t started since missing 5 weeks with a serious brain injury.
-
Terrible call on Indiana. Plummer stuck his leg out to get 3 fts
-
Pretty much the entire team has played like dung and only down 2. Would think that bodes well for the 2nd half.
-
Looking like Illinois thought the game was tomorrow like Rob did.
Spark would be disappointed in the Mn - Tempo hatefest in this thread.
-
Terrible call on Indiana. Plummer stuck his leg out to get 3 fts
Foul called for under cutting the landing space.
-
Terrible call on Indiana. Plummer stuck his leg out to get 3 fts
Helps make up for a couple of the bad calls against us.
-
Being down 2 at half after looking like shit is a plus, but also a plus for Indiana being up 2 at half with TJD only playing 4 minutes. Let’s see who wants it more in the second half.
-
Foul called for under cutting the landing space.
But you can’t stick out your leg to create a bigger landing space. I think I saw an offensive player get called for a warning doing that this week.
-

Yeah, but Mn is scoring big points in pointing out that Grandison starts and pre-season All-America candidate Curbelo does not.
-

Your posts are very telling as to who your allegiances are to. It’s definitely not the Universtiy of Illinois. Not one post from you regarding the shitty calls going the other way. Go to the Indiana board.
-

And there have been quite a few of those.

Did you go to the dictionary and look up "starter"?
gt!!

It’s bc I’m not a loser that bitches about the refs every game.
Curbelo got tripped no call. Indiana guy got tripped no call. That’s even.
Kofi got fouled but then Frazier hit a 2 on same possession. Doesn’t matter.
Kofi hooks (no call) then gets a foul call. IL got a break.
Plummer flat out stole 3 points for sticking his leg out. IL got a break.
Watch the game.
So I’d say the refs haven’t been bad at all for Illinois in fact they been partial to them slightly

Yet you bitch about the Plummer 3…. Weird huh
-

gt!!
Go to the dictionary and look up “idiot.” Paste a picture of yourself next to it.
-
Yet you bitch about the Plummer 3…. Weird huh
Yeah I’d say Illinois is +5 in points via bad calls. The Plummer 3 pushed it further in their direction
-
Wow great defense by Trent
-
Go to the dictionary and look up “idiot.” Paste a picture of yourself next to it.
Curbelo should be coming in soon. Lol.
-
Tough to win with these 1 sided zebras. Indiana sets a moving screen about ever time
-
Ever since Davis 2nd foul its been pure home cooking
-
I guess the Bosmans-Verdonk experiment is over.
-
Why the fuck would Payne, Goode, and DaMonte be on the floor at the same time?
-
Why the fuck would Payne, Goode, and DaMonte be on the floor at the same time?
Are you suggesting that if you look up the word "idiot" in the dictionary, Underachiever's picture would be next to Mn's?
-
Get some Curbelo-Kofi pick and roll action going
-
Grandison with a quick 6 points!
-
Here comes the Grandison made two 3s > Curbelo comment from Mn.
-
Can't give up the baseline. 3 empty trips in a row.
Atta boy Grandi!
-
I guess the Bosmans-Verdonk experiment is over.
Good question. I don't understand it. Better to have him on the floor when on offense, Payne's only offense is if he can rebound a miss for a dunk. You can't have Payne and Williams on the floor offensively.
-
Curbello cant finish this year. Been brutal besides the purdue gm.
-
We’ve never had a NPOY. Would be really nice to see Kofi win it, but he’s got to be the man night in and night out. Needs a strong finish here.
-
Won’t show up on the stat sheet, but nice defensive play by Kofi there.
-
Kofi has no idea where the basket is today.
-
He’s pressing offensively.
-
There you go, finally some touch on that one.
-
Kofi with the 3 point play the old fashioned way.
-
Starting to pull away. Keep it up.
-
Trent Frazier doing Trent Frazier things!
-
Let's go! Finish these fucks off.
-
Trent coming to play today
-
Trent is just a straight up BALLER!
-
Kofi has no idea where the basket is today.
He knew where it was on the layup and a foul .
3 for Trent! Up 9.
-
Indiana is the team I wanna beat the most every single year
-
Trent might go down as one of the most underrated Illini ever. Being overshadowed by Ayo and Kofi his whole career, but he's the one that kept it all together after Groce
-
Man, if we choke off a 9 pt lead…
-
Trent might go down as one of the most underrated Illini ever. Being overshadowed by Ayo and Kofi his whole career, but he's the one that kept it all together after Groce
Thank fuck he didn't play a single second for Groce. No way he's the player he is today if Groce got his hands on him.
-
love these Saturday 11 am games need more of them
-
3 good d plays by Kofi in the last couple of minutes
-
I love you Trent Frazier! 😂
-
Thank fuck he didn't play a single second for Groce. No way he's the player he is today if Groce got his hands on him.
Agreed
-
Kofi is killing any dreams TJD had of playing in the NBA lol
-

True. His career has been an interesting one. Will say that he’s had a great career from beginning to end, but he’s more of a supporting player deluxe. Probably can’t be your best player if you want to compete a national title, but he can definitely be a reason you do compete for one.
-
I can't believe I just finally had this thought after years of watching basketball, but shouln't free throws by called free shots???
-
don't let up

Lol dude he’s been here 5 years so far and they have 1 tourney win. They haven’t competed for anything even with him being the 3rd best player on the team
-
hit free throws
my gosh
-

Are you suggesting the dictionary entry for "idiot" include Tempo's, Underachiever's and Mn's pictures?
-

First two years the supporting cast was trash, 3rd year the tourney was canceled, and last year they just brain-farted but had a very realistic chance at a Fina Four. Next to Gonzaga they were the top choice.
-
Hit your free shots, dadgumit!
-
Hit your free shots, dadgumit!
That's what I am talking about.. join my movement.
-
Just play solid defense and hit your free-shots from here…
-
hit free throws
my gosh
Gotta make sure Plummer gets the ball, 93% shooter.
-
What a hook by Kofi.
-

I mean you could argue Frazier can be a supporting player on an upper level Big 10 team. That’s the extent of his career.
Buy lot of guys could have be that if they are playing beside Kofi. Look how effective Plummer is, and he was just a guy at Utah
-
Dagger from DaMonte.
-
Damonte dagger
-
Nail meet Coffin ..
Dagger meet chest..
fat lady start singin

He’s capable of a 25 pt performance at any time. That’s better than “argue he is a supporting player on an upper level Big Ten team.”
-
That's what I am talking about.. join my movement.
I'm in the vanguard of the movement!
-
Another dagger by Plummer. This is a fucking blowout now lol
-
Illinois needs to pay up and give Kofi a million dollars to play his senior year
This game changed on Grandison’s back to back 3s and Kofi dominating TJD.
Purdue will blow them out tho
-
I'm in the vanguard of the movement!
Together we will change the world
-
C’mon Kofi, make an effort for that rebound. Gotta pad those stats!
-
Glad I got to watch the second half.
-
No way we were losing this game after playing like trash in 1st half and only being down 2.
-
First two years the supporting cast was trash, 3rd year the tourney was canceled, and last year they just brain-farted but had a very realistic chance at a Fina Four. Next to Gonzaga they were the top choice.
I’d say Trent’s 2nd year, with Ayo in his freshman season, was one of the worst coached Illini teams off all time. They never should have been as bad as they were
-
40-21 2nd half.
Next.
-
40-21 second half. 32-11 run to end the game. Man's game.
-
Dominated the 2nd half 40-21. Damn good road W if I say so.
-
Mn = 57 = Miles Leonard is a match
-
Lol Trent is listed at only 5’8 on wiki.

Curbelo with 3, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and a -1.

I'd say great minds think alike but I'm very questionable in that regard.
Dominated the 2nd half for a big W.

Not a chance. I'm not that fast with my fat fingers.

Our largest margin of victory at Indiana since 1956.
Nichi can tell us all about that game.

Lol
NCAA Tournament:
Curbelo playing A+ game
or
Jacob Grandison playing A+ game?
The choice is an easy one.
And ftr, I didn’t inject Grandison into the discussion. You did. I have no problem with Grandison, he’s a solid player.
-

Quality ageism jab.
-
Great team win.
I hate to say it, but the chemistry seems better with Curbelo not in at least right now.
What makes this team good is getting everyone involved and he is too ball dominant right now.
-
Our starting lineup has to be the oldest in the NCAA.
Cockburn- age 22
Grandison- age 23
Plummer- age 23
Williams - age 23
Frazier- age 23
-
Great team win.

Missing 5 weeks early in the season with a brain injury can’t help.

Perhaps, but I think our highest ceiling as a team is with him playing significant minutes at a high level.

Off the bench be ok with you ? 🤣
-

Only way that works is if you bench Damonte.
Curbelo
Frazier
Plummer
Grandison
Kofi
That should be the best offensive team. Defense, swapping out Damonte for Curbelo is the issue
-
Off the bench be ok with you ? 🤣
Just fine.
-
Come off bench and play 20 mpg and be a pass first guy.
Shoot and drive to keep them honest and draw the D. Don't go looking for your own shot as much.
And quit the whining every goddamn call.
Just play. He has huge skills.

Very nice road win.

I got a no quibble from Tempo.
It's settled then. LOL.
-
Curbelo tapped the top of his head a couple of times after driving the baseline, and had a look on his face.
I hope it's not a recurrence.
-
Very nice road win.
They are rounding into form on D. Taking better care of ball. And finding different ways and guys to score.
We are officially becoming a tough out. A S16 is really doable and then who knows from there.
-

You have to wonder where he is at physically or mentally. He has had some really tough luck.
Trying to do too much sometimes, some poor decisions, and too loose with the rock.
He needs to watch a few Chris Paul games.
-
31-7 last 38 big ten games

But if his head isn't right, It's hard to play at a high level.
I didn't like the look on his face.
Hoping it was just that he was frustrated in his game today.

Really hard to say. He has gotten less tick in second half in both of last two games and we have executed better.

We've gotten much better at reducing turnovers. We had 10 day. Keep the turnovers to a minimum and its easier to play with, or better than, teams.
The Hoosier site had the box today, and our scoring was 1.15 per possession. The Hoosiers were 0.9.
Illinois website doesn't show points per possession in its box scores.

1.15 is excellent. We are 1.14 for the season.
Play D. Share the rock. Keep TO's low. Rebound.

I noticed that. Don't need a relapse. His conditioning has suffered, obviously. Let's just hope he was showing frustration with mis plays on his part. He is a valuable part but he does need to be under control, not trying to do too much.
Another poster said he needs to quit complaining about every call and just play. I agree, but complaining about being tripped on a fast break and Borowski swallowing the whistle, obvious swallowing of the whistle, I understand it.
They need him to do the job against Purdue when he gets playing time.
-
I didn’t have “win by 17” on my @IU bingo card
-
Really solid 2nd half and better result than we should ever expect at IU.
The starters, who will all be gone next year, scored 66 of the 74.
We need an experienced transfer scorer who can play wing defense. Otherwise, it's going to be a long learning year short of someone like Goode or Dainja taking a massive leap.
-
!!!!!! I LOVE THIS TEAM
-
Underwood quoting advanced stats is a real positive.
-
I actually have nothing to say after this one granted Indiana couldn’t hit the blind side of a barn in the 2nd half…
Not expecting much from Purdue game…If it’s even remotely close it’s a win…That said the tourney is a near lock despite the resume…Didnt think I would be saying that after what I saw earlier this season…

Couldn't really tell on TV, wish they would turn the crowd noise up like they do on CBS games

Not bad for “arguably a supporting player on an upper level B1G team.”
https://twitter.com/illinoisonbtn/status/1490041362485420033?s=21
-
Realize he’s had an extra year, but he could finish as the 3rd leading scorer all-time for the Illini. 2nd if he tears it up.
-
And ftr, I didn’t inject Grandison into the discussion. You did. I have no problem with Grandison, he’s a solid player.
You did inject Grandison.
"We lose all 5 starters", and your response was "Where is Curbelo going ? And "He counts as a starter".
Grandison has 32 starts between this year and last. Curbelo has 4.
And I would be happy to see Curbelo being an AA here, winning a national championship and keeping the Puerto Rico pipeline open.

The starters, who will all be gone next year, scored 66 of the 74.
2 of the 5 starters have eligibility remaining after this season. It is not a virtual certainty both will be gone.
One change is covid super seniors will count, so that affects Grandison.
There is talk, albeit dubious, NIL money might be enough to convince Kofi to spend another year in college. Stranger things have happened.
Currently 15 on scholarship, 3 super seniors, three incoming freshman. At least two with eligibility will not be here.
There is also talk about an incoming big time guard or wing transfer ...

2 of the 5 starters have eligibility remaining after this season. It is not a virtual certainty both will be gone.
One change is covid super seniors will count, so that affects Grandison.
There is talk, albeit dubious, NIL money might be enough to convince Kofi to spend another year in college. Stranger things have happened.
Currently 15 on scholarship, 3 super seniors, three incoming freshman. At least two with eligibility will not be here.

Looks like you are correct. Grandison is a grad student, he'll be 24, so it will be up to him.
-
I forgot about Grandison being allowed another year.
He is nice player for us.
We could be alright with a couple pickups.
Who knows - the offseason is crazy now.

I honestly think we’ll be fine.

Are you predicting 2 with eligibility will not be here?
Because the 3 super seniors (Plummer, Frazier, Williams) will be replaced by the 3 freshman.
Then in theory you could bring back the rest of the team that has eligibility.
I think there's 3 guys that just given their ages it'd be odd if they came back:
Grandison- 24 years old
Hutcherson- 24 years old
Kofi - 23 years old

Up until last year that might have been the case but NIL can potentially change everything. If they can earn comparable money and continue to accrue valuable education, why wouldn’t they stay another year? It doesn’t appear that any of them are going to command huge money to play pro ball.

Handling the extra year of eligibility, plus the transfer portal, has got to be difficult for coaching staffs.
My understanding is that beginning next year, programs will revert back to the 13 scholarship limit. Looks like we have 15 roster players, but if Serven is still a walk-on then it's 14 scholarships.
Between outgoing and incoming players, we need to get to 13 scholarships. If 3 are coming in, more than 3 have to leave.

I've got full confidence in BU to manage the changes. His track record the last couple of years, with all that was thrown his way, has been solid. Hell, who loses all their assistants and doesn't blink?

Speaking of those assistants…

Super seniors count next year. We are at 15 or 16 total right now. 2 or 3 with eligibility will not be back for sure.

Played 36 yesterday and didn’t see gane until today. Big win !

I stated he was the worst ref in the NCAA
Brad Underwood said he's the best.
-
I guess the Bosmans-Verdonk experiment is over.
Were you aware of Kofi's injury?
-
Brad Underwood said he's the best.
Yeah I saw that. Not sure what to take of it though. I mean what’s he supposed to say? He said it was with full sincerity but if he truly meant it, he’s just flat out wrong. Bo is horrible and I think I’d have more people agreeing with me than Underwood on this.

Were you aware of Kofi's injury?
I am probably behind or missing something.
Kofi is injured?
Or are you referring to when he was out?
-
Were you aware of Kofi's injury?
Yes. Did Bosmans-Verdonk not get dramatically more minutes than Payne at that time? Yet it was Payne we saw on the floor against IU.

He’s thinks he’s landing a jab at my expense. Yes, he’s talking about when he was injured previously.

I would guess that BBV is way too small to match up against Davis, honestly other than spot fill minutes I can't see BBV having any more impact than Payne. Payne can at least block a shot and sort of rebound.

The latter.

Omar's role didn't change.
