    Pregame: Illinois at Northwestern, Thursday, February 27th, 7:00pm CT, BTN

    I think you're missing the point here. Underwood's strategy is to produce more offensive possessions than the opponent. This leads to a situation where the other team needs to shoot at a significantly higher percentage to beat you. Against a good defense that forces high difficulty/low...

    2016-17 Illini Golf

    Everybody is forgetting a huge issue with Oregon last year. After they beat Illinois, they faced Texas with a torn-laborum'd Beau Hossler (one of the top amateurs in the country). Having Texas need to win 3 of 4 after the WD is a little advantage too, and I'd put $ Texas would've won.

    Not necessarily true. I would say in general the players 1-2 in 1A and 2A are similar but the biggest drop off is 3-end of bench as many times 1A schools pull underclassmen to fill other roles where 2A schools are primarily Juniors and Seniors.

    First time poster, Not sure if it matters but coming from 1A basketball I have played against Chastain recently. He has a very quick first step and is really explosive to (and above) the rim. However, when my team tried to sag off and play a 2-3 zone he burned us from the outside shooting 3s...
