COULD NOT AGREE MORE!
Our team should be arriving at the Columbus bubble today - the TBT media guy Jake Pavorsky was on Tay and Piper a couple weeks ago and said teams arrive 5 days before their first game- which in our case is today. Today is also the last day for us to make roster additions, so I assume we’re done adding but if there’s anything more it’ll be today.
There are some really good teams in the tourney. It’s going to be a battle. I’m just hoping we beat Auburn so we can advance to round 2 and face OSU/McCamey. Trey Burke got signed by the Mavs a few days ago, so that should add to McCamey‘s usage. I’d really like to see Feliz hound McCamey and Aaron Craft.
Do we have any idea what the uniforms look like??
McCamey
Yes Mooney dropped out, apparently due to the fact that he’s on a two way nba deal. bad news. I was so looking forward to this but I have a feeling that our roster doesn’t have the firepower it needs to make a run. Hoping otherwise. we still have m talent - hill, Garrett, Daum, Feliz, black, Egwu are all good pieces. Vinales maybe good too, I don’t know.Not certain how up do date this is, but in perusing the roster on the official website, it appears that Cameron Liss has replaced Mooney. If seems, due to the fact that all other reported roster additions/subtractions reported on this site in the last couple of days are current, that this is the final move prior to the game. It may have been necessitated by the requirement for official alumni status,, but that is just wondering thought....who knows. Anyone know the facts for certain?
Former Texas Tech guard Matt Mooney also looked to be a big add, but his two-way contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers kept him from participating.
Paul turned down an offer from House of Paign to join Team Hines, who advanced to the semifinals last year.
“I basically approached it from a business standpoint,” Paul said. “I would love to play for an Illinois alum team, but unfortunately… I told myself I would only play for a team that I thought would give myself the best chance to win.”
He had it legally changed to fit in better while playing overseas in Russia.Yeah, i'm totally puzzled by the spelling

BP3 apparently decided he wanted another team because he wanted the best chance to win. Ouch. If we’d gotten him, rice and mccamey, I’d be super amped right now about our prospects.

That's too harsh. I just hope House of 'Paign does well and is back every year. Success will have people lining up to play for them.Love BP3 and Meechie, but they can seriously get bent. BP3 saying he wants a chance to win is just a slap in the face to those guys and wasn’t something that he should’ve even thought about saying.
Dont even recognize himI’ve seen more dunks from Malcolm tonight than I did in all 4 seasons he was at Illinois...
