chimpy2121 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Wow, phantom call much? Even the announcers said it. All I can do is laugh every time I see Ryan Reid and Luke Loucks on the floor. They both suck. Horribly. They will never amount to anything.

You have a dream lineup there too with Gibson. Both of them have range and can hit the 16 footers. However, that makes too much sense I guess. He can recruit, but can't coach to save his life.

whitesoxfan99 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Unless Florida St. comes up with a big comeback it looks like the Duke/Wisconsin game will decide the Big 10/ACC challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I didnt really think Wiscosnin would win, they played well for most of the game and were able to hang on. Hopefully they can have a pretty good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) And Northern Iowa wins 63-60 at Hilton. What a joke. McDermott outcoached again. Throwing cabbages at you, ISU sucks we all know this. Did you just play ring around the perimeter shooting 3's again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 KU wins by 50 something, including a 36-0 run at one point. Xavier a.k.a. future player of NCAA tourney with 18.

danman31 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 06:25 PM) Is there any call in sports that refs or officials screw up as often as the charge/block call in college basketball? It is ridiculous how terrible refs are at getting that right. Agree. A ref actually overruled another ref to call a charge on one I saw tonight where the announcers admitted the defender was moving. It's frustrating. QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) congrats to the National League. Sour grapes are fun, but if the ACC is down in basketball and we already know it can't play football, what does it do well? Sorry, I had to take a jab back.

The offense has been awful, and our young guys haven't progressed nearly as much as expected. This year could be a lot longer than previously expected. What is the latest on Royce White?

He pleaded guilty today for his theft and assault case, and he'll be cleared if he stays out of trouble for the next year. No timeline for when he'll be back with the team, but I'm hoping he'll at least be back for part of Big 10 play.

LittleHurt05 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Awesome comeback for the Illini, what a roller coaster of highs/lows towards the team the last week. From 4-0 & ranked, to the two bad losses in Vegas to the god awful first half last night, now all of a sudden, theres a new found confidence in them. I know McCamey wasnt in there, but Weber has to teach them a lot about the press break, cause if they had that much trouble vs Clemson, Mizzou is gonna destroy them with their style of play. Stop letting Tisdale bring the ball up, dont pick up your dribble alone by the back baseline, and please no more 10 second violations. I agree Jeff Jordan is bad at basketball. He's an offensive liabaility, he can sometimes keep a defender with the ball in front of him, but thats about it. I dont know what Alex Legion's deal is, but it would be nice if he could live up to 25% of his recruiting hype. Overall, great job by the juniors & 2 freshman to take control of the game and will us to victory. Hope they can start putting it all together and playing full 40 minute games like that, not turning it off for long stretches of time. I gotta feeling that Brandon Paul is not gonna be at Illinois for 4 years. Way to go Big Ten, its about damn time!

Jenksismyhero Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) This game reminded me a lot of the IU-UI game in 2004 when Dee and Deron were sophomores. No one bought into playing Weber’s scrappy, tough, man to man defense until it brought them back from a game they should have lost. Hopefully the same realization happened last night. No doubt Clemson choked, but Illinois simply out played them for the last 18 minutes. I think the most impressive thing was that they came back from 23 points (pretty damn quickly), but then had another 5 minutes of a really tough back to back game and still pulled out the W. Jeff Jordan is awful. I don't see a "great" defender (average at best), I don't see a good ball handler (3-4 turnovers last night were on him and he picks up his dribble every freakin time); i see an athlete that occasional gets a good rebound. Apparently Legion just refuses to play any defense, or he's horrible at dribbling, because I'm confident Weber sees that Jordan is a liability out there. But he's stuck with him until Legion shows he's a better option. Maybe now we know why Kentucky didn't really care that he wanted to leave? Also, I think Bill Cole might become one of those Roger Powell style glue guys this year and next year. I'm really impressed with his defense. He's just a lengthy guy that messes up the offensive rhythm on the other team. Great win. Now we gotta take care of Gonzaga, Missouri, Vandy, etc and we'll have a pretty solid tourney resume. Edit: Oh, and Bo Ryan is the s***. In every other sport but college bb I hate opposing coaches. But I love the way he always has his team ready to play. I consider Wisconsin and Michigan State to be Illinois' biggest rivals, especially recently, and I'm a huge fan of both Ryan and Izzo. Can't really say that about any other sport.

RockRaines Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 A win is a win, and the conference will take it. And on the plus side, it appears Buford wont be jumping to the NBA since he cant hit a shot to save his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, really? I know you went there and are a big fan, but winning by 50 against Alcorn vs. winning by 50 against a Big 12 or quality opponent are two ENTIRELY different things.

Palehosefan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Washington @ Texas Tech 6 p.m. CTRL ESPN 2 tonight Should be a fun one to watch.
