farmteam Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 07:35 PM) Wright banging and impregnating all those coeds. Not enough time for basketball! Were those rumors ever substantiated? I mean, if there's that much smoke there's probably fire, but I never saw anything too definite. Never saw anything about him actually being close to resigning, either. But if they're this awful to watch, might as well kick him to the curb.

chw42 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 This Illini team has a knack for playing like s*** against no-name schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yep. Here's the game where they can't hit a shot while making stupid decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) What an ugly game. Hopefully an ugly win. Inability to make free throws is killing us again. Edited December 12, 2012 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I had been saying, they are gonna struggle against a "lower-level" Big Ten team when their 3s dont drop and possibly lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 To be fair, norfolk st. was a tourney team last year. I know they lost a good player, but, no name in college basketball doesn't necessarily mean bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't a good team, but when you win on arguably your worst performance of the season I think people should quit over-reacting. This team is better than we thought but they aren't close to good enough to win by 20-30 just by showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBS was a tourney team last year and we smoked em. Illlinois is still finding its legs and cold nights with a basic offense are going to suck. However its a long time to March and thats your target. I have no reason to believe they wont make the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 And for my team. Please please start to gel better. We have so much talent, LaQuinton Ross has the ability to be an top player in the country, we just need to grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Also, highest flyer in Big Ten? Olidipo or Sam Thompson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously biased to say Oladipo, but I still haven't forgotten that one-handed slam on an in-bounds pass Thompson did against Indiana last year. Rodney Williams should probably at least be in the discussion, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson has had some really highlight dunks this year but you just pointed out one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I think it's Williams, Thompson, and then Oladipo. However, I think Oladipo is definitely the best "player" of them all. He's the glue to IU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Come to think of it, this discussion will end this weekend when Hanner Perea steps on the court. His athleticism puts Oladipo's to shame, it's non human-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 As an unbiased observer of the Big 10, I'd go with Rodney Williams as best athlete/dunker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His athleticism puts Oladipo's to shame, it's non human-like. I didn't see him play when he was up here in HS at LaLumiere, but the sports guys who I know that did said he is on the Concord HS Shawn Kemp level as an athlete and dunker.
