Pretty sure we will do better than that.
Illini Basketball 2019-2020

1 game at a time. We may be down a player next game and if Trent doesn’t go off it’s be a potential shooter we’d be missing.
I agree. One game at a time. Michigan is next. Then we move on. I’m certain that no one wants to play us right now. I LOVE THAT!
How much does the gentry hire have to do with this years success?
I assume it would be a minimal amount since he didn't get here until late August. Could be wrong.
Some I would suspect, however BU has professed how he changed in order to not take the ship down so to speak. He is a great steward of the ILLINI program and honestly trying to get the program back. He knows what the ILLINI basketball means to the fanbase.
Stephens 1st-2nd-nowhere?
Finally feeling like this team is a legit top 25 team. Which means we will lose the next 4 in a row.
Would someone be able to tell me when Trent took over the main ball handling responsibilities? Can't remember exactly which game but know it has been a key component of the step forward Illini have made. Thanks
That's the spirit
I believe this was the 7th game, because he had gone 6 games without a turnover and that was significant because he had primary ball handing duties.
So that would be the game after Missouri, which makes a lot of sense.
That makes sense. Thank you.
Seems that Steve Pikiell should be considered as well, no? Just think how much better they might be if Eugene Omoruyi had not transferred to Oregon.
I mentioned this on another thread but it probably was not seen by many as I posted it long after the thread started to die down but Cliff Omoruyi (no relation) has narrowed his list of schools to 4 or 5 and Rutgers is one of them. Replace one Omoruyi with another Omoruyi.

Agree. It was more tongue in cheek than anything. I don’t think anyone has a stronger case at this point.

He deserves consideration for sure.

I’ve wondered the same thing, but I have to say this is a far different system than we saw the first two years. Somehow Underwood has become much more flexible and it’s working. I expect Gentry is at least some part of that because we know Underwood has high regard for him.
Don’t know BBV’s physical condition but would suspect they would preserve his redshirt (assuming he qualifies). Would think Tevian a more logical candidate. Probably mostly see an increase in Kipper’s, Dre’s and DaMonte’s minutes. May see Tyler.

Don't you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby.
When I was watching video of the game I saw one of the passes from Ayo and at first thought my video player was sped up (as I often do this when watching videos). Ayo threw a bullet and Kofi handled it for the easy dunk. He has been so much fun to watch this year.
Now, it would be hard to see the soccer goal with Kofi standing in front of it.

I came across a video of Shaq when he was younger and it got me wondering, how different of a size was Shaq of early LSU days to Kofi now?
Well, not that different.

I know it's a different NBA game now. But man, it sure seems like Kofi has some of that potential in him. Also, Shaq was at LSU for 3 years. Again, different time, but it would be swell to get 3 years from Kofi.
