whitesoxfan99 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I find myself cheering for Illinois. Both against Wake and Arkansas. They are doing the Big Ten proud. I find myself cheering for the entire Big 10 this year, well except for Iowa. Its funny what everyone bashing your conference constantly will do.

whitesoxfan99 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Illinois up only 6. Augustine just missed 4 straight FTs. This will be a good test to see what this team is made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 arkansas would be winning if the could hit their jumpers and capitalize on some of their offensive rebounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Alright, its buckle down time. Just get out of this damn place with a win and move on. Don't care about style point, just escape with the W. STEP IT UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 UNC defeats UK 91-78, UK put up a great efford. Rajon Rondo is going to be an absolute stud, looks pretty close to what Felton looked like as a freshmen, not quite as fast, but still going to be awesome. Rashad 28 points, Felton gutty effort with his bad wrist. Sean May had a good game as well. Man McCants is good though. NC's defense was the difference in that game and I don't think thats something people hear much, but NC did a nice job forcing turnovers. Personally, after watching NC play a few games now, and seeing the Illini play a few games, I think they are the two best teams in the country.

Watch them play, their defense isn't bad, its more they play a high octane offense which means the other team is going to get a whole lot of shots and in turn score more points then would happen if they played traditional half court basketball. They do a good job forcing turnovers and are very good perimiter defenders, imo. You watch, I think UNC could take down Illinois. Sean May would own in the middle and McCants is in my opinion one of the best pure shooters in the country and he can do a whole lot more then just shoot. Just my two cents. And remember I'm not a fan of either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I don't think either of them are the best in the nation, jmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 palehosefan, I know you were concentrating on the UNC game, but were you able to pick up the IU-Uconn game on either 616 or 617? I went to a friend's house and he was unable to pick it up. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Georgia Tech. We'll see at the end of the year. The great thing about college basketball is that usually quite a few teams have a shot when its all set and done. I do think its going to be a really fun basketball season. Especially since my Hawks actually look like they got a shot at making some noise in the Big Ten and hopefully the Big Dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Good win today over the Hogs. Although they looked sloppy at times, they played big when they had to, did the little things, and made their shots. Here comes #1 Yeeee-Haaa!!!! They earned it.

IlliniKrush Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Survived Arkansas. Sloppy game overall, but it was the first road game against a decent team. Tough game as i expected. Get the W and move on is the attitude. Now we can be #1. Sweet. Chicago St Monday. UNC could beat illinois maybe, but could they beat santa clara? We're #1 now probly, but it doesn't mean a ton, we all know the teams at the top are real close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
