bmags Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Mizzou vs. U of I will be quite the game, as it used to be (and was last year, great game). I think mizzou will get crushed. Our team I thought would get better at guarding the perimeter on 3s this year, but our rotations are just horrid. I'm anxious to see Jabari Brown's addition to the team, a lot landed on his shoulders with Mike Dixon's departure. We need a second ball-handler, a dynamic one. Keion Bell and Webster-Chan are just at best capable. Our turnovers are extreme and our 3 point shooting is gone. But there's so much there, it just needs to come together.

Honestly if I had to put money down today, I'd pick Mizzou to win by a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games have been tight against Stanford and VCU, and we just have not dealt well with pressure at all. BUt also it's a perspective shift, because this time last year, we were beating teams by like 40-50 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other things will come with time given the turnover from last year's team. They just need 3-point shooting. Dixon was the team's best shooter. Hopefully Brown will be. I actually had a nightmare where Illinois beat Missouri and it actually woke me up. Talk about being a hardcore fan, ha. Also, in case anyone didn't know or forgot last year's Mizzou team was playing without its best player, Laurence Bowers. If he was on that team, man, the possibilities. It's fun to see him back, but it just makes me that much more sad that he was out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I remember this one time I had Mizzou in my Final Four and they lost in the first round. Anyway, Iowa vs Iowa State on Friday should be a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I want Northwestern to win, but I also want Butler to be as strong of an opponent on paper as possible. Northwestern has more to gain, though, so I'll root for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bar so I can't hear. But in the past he's been the anti Bill Walton. Trying to veil Illini fandom to the point where it sounds like he roots against them.
