whitesoxfan101 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Typical Illinois loss, and Pruitt will not be missed. It's good to see the progress from McCamey though, as he'll of course be a junior when the '09 guys arrive and a senior when Jereme and Crandall show up, and of course it's big he develops since the one weakness in those 2 classes is none of the guys are true point guards. And I'm glad Eric Gordon isn't coming to Champaign again, that was sad/embarassing to watch at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break, trash talking at a 10-14 (2-9) team, lol. As for the Gordons........I'm sure stuff was done towards them that was out of line, but they were amazingly stupid to even go to this game. They'll have the rest of the year, NCAA Tournament, and 10 years in the NBA to watch him, and they should have assumed the worst going into an atmosphere of delusional, frusterated fans. I'm surprised the fans behaved as well as they did, I thought it would be even more lame. Edited February 8, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been drinking? And yeah, Illinois fans have been deluisional fools about the Gordon thing because it hides the real problem, which is Bruce Weber is an embarassingly bad coach. You know that as well as I do, but if your going to stoop to the level of most Illinois fans on this subject, that's your problem. It's not like you beat a team that's worth a damn.

He_Gawn Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well then I guess I should apologize for being happy that my team won a game which I figured they would not fair to well with all emotions involved.

I know it was the Illini's Super Bowl, but their still bad. The problem tonight is Indiana really isn't that great a team, their just a decent team with 2 great players taking advantage of a horrid league.

We have many flaws that can hopefully be worked out. And Bassett and Crawford stepped up big tonight, lets hope that continues. Also I don't think ILL is as bad as their record, if they could hit a damn FT down the stretch they could easily be above .500. I'm just looking at the positives ok?

You are as bad as all the fans you make fun of.... Well it was. They have no shot at the NCAA's or NIT, so this was the biggest game of the year. And wow, reading the Illini fan boards.........I can see why IU fans are so confrentational this evening. It's a looney bin among most Illini hoops fans right now, no logic at all. It just AMAZES me most of all that fans can actually be so mad at Gordon, and miss who they should hate (Bruce Weber), for inheriting a great program and turning it into pure, unfiltered garbage.

Give me a break, they wanted this game more than any other to date. ILL came ready to play for sure. Your freshman DM came to play and is going to be a star in a few more years.

Rex Hudler Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Btw, I know the chances are extremely slim it happens, but I will go on record saying that Eric Gordon..... needs another year of college.

What is going to kill IU is that their frontcourt outside of White is basically a joke. They have good guards and White is obviously a very good big man. THomas, Stemler, and Mike White are awful.

Soxbadger Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Some of these posts are golden: their just a decent team with 2 great players taking advantage of a horrid league. Um they have played the bottom feeders of the "horrid league" and barely gotten bye. They still have to play MSU x2, OSU x2, WIS, PUR, Minnesota. Those are the only teams besides Indiana that have an arguable chance at the NCAA tournament. If you notice, they have only played 2 games against those teams and gone 1-1 in those games. Before we start saying how "horrid" the league is, lets see how Indiana fairs in the next stretch of games. for inheriting a great program and turning it into pure, unfiltered garbage. Huh? In 2-3 years Illinois will be a top 3 Big 10 team. You cant win all the time, its just the nature of college sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
