greasywheels121 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'm just talking about the season as a whole. Sure, IU can make the tourney this year. That doesn't excite me too much. I thought we had the potential to win it all with DJ in this lineup. CBS was saying the same thing. http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/9156741 However, the loss of White (9.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.4 blocks) will knock the Hoosiers from the short list of serious NCAA championship contenders. And, yes, Indiana was on that list with White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dee is going to have to have one of those nights shooting, or we will lose by 10 points. Indiana with the home crowd is going to be too much, and going into conference, this was the one game I have penciled in as a pretty sure loss.

Rex Hudler Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) I still see you guys winning by 5-8. We have no one that can even think about containing Marco. See that is the key to beating IU. Don't try and contain Marco. Let him get 30 in the first 30 minutes of the game but defend the hell out of the 3-pt line. By the time there are 10 minutes left, Marco will be out of gas from having to do it all himself and will start to miss shots. So he gets 34 and Illinois still wins.... I think you would take the win, right? I really think the key is to make Killingsworth work hard to get his points, but to work harder on defending the perimiter. Marco can't go 40 minutes and do it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think the Illini will only be able to score about 60 themselves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Texas is the only real chance to rush the court this year so our fans must have decided to take what they could get with the win over rival Kansas.
