LittleHurt05 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) Illinois and Mizzou tonight. Nine in a row for Illinois. Assuming both teams show up to play, it should be a fantastic game (more so than in recent years anyway). I'm hoping the Illini can cotinue the streak and make it a full decade of dominance, but with Mizzou's 40 minutes of hell & the way they have horribly stuggled against the full court press this year, I cant say I have full confidence in them. A win would be nice to give some hope that they might actually make the tournament. Like you said, it is usually an exciting game, should be fun to watch, go Illini!

Heads22 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 04:01 AM) Redbirds finish up conference play 9-2, next game is next tuesday vs 11-1 Wichita State @ redbird arena. It's going to be real fun. Also tonight's(last nights technically) game was the 300th game for the redbirds at redbird arena. They are 219-81 in those 300 games. If only it was as tough as a place to play as the real ISU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, since McDermott has taken over, we've been beyond horrible on the road, whereas we've pushed teams like Kansas and Texas at home. Don't get me wrong, it's not the same place it used to be, but before, say, 2005, it was up with Allen and Gallagher-Iba as one of the 3 toughest places to play in the Big 12. Still got a winning record against the Top 25 at Hilton, as well as 6-12 against Top 5 opponents, which is pretty good for some pretty bad teams since 71.

It's all Cardinals in that town and Mizzou sports get some attention, but given their sports teams it's hard to blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Anyone watching the Illini/Mizzou game? Something's wrong with the hoop Mizzou is shooting at, as the ball is taking some crazy spins out of the rim. It will be interesting to see if the same rolls continue in the 2nd half going that way.

whitesoxfan99 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The junior class for Illinois drives me nuts. Davis, McCamey, and Tisdale are talented players but my god are they lazy basketball players. Davis is particularly frustrated, a guy with his jump shot and leaping ability should be so much more.

Oh and how that one ball was off Tisdale when he wasn't within 5 feet of the ball when it flew off Stafford is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisdale continues to impress. Hopefully Mizzou's shooting comes back to their average and Illinois keeps chugging away.

Great point, you could see him lose his composure at about the 5 minute mark in the 2nd half. I still say that basket going to the right on the TV view is screwed up. Two odd missed dunks this half.

fathom Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 BTW, awful coaching by Weber tonight. Illinois had all the momentum when they cut it to 6 points, and he decided to bring in the most unproductive hyped player in history, Alex Legion. The offense really never recovered the rhythm they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
