Ever seen Hardball? Keau Reeves wins 20K on a Bulls game! Point proven.
If this game is 20mins, I am confident that it is a comfortable W for
But I am really worried about our gas running out again at final 10mins of 2nd half.
Anyone can give a head up on how deep is this Depaul roster?
I think it will be one of those games where it's close at half, BU lights them up in the locker room, and we come out and have a great 2nd half. Win by 23.
I think you should watch DePaul play
I would think the team has, and we will hopefully be able to defend. The perimeter shooting is what I question. This is a game Alstork needs to step up. We shoot from outside good, we win. Think our perimeter shooting must improve and be consistent. That will keep the zones from popping up.:thumb:

Are you the guy who said bet the over on the UT-Martin game?
That was me. About ten minutes into that game, with the score around 13-10, I remembered once again why I do not bet.

I'm typically more of a pessimist, but I'm going with the Illini vs. DePaul. Thinking we get more easy shots than the Blue Demons.
ILL 78
DEP 71
I think Alstork steps up this game, even though I don't like that hitch in his 3-point shot. Would prefer to see half his points come from posting up and/or short jumpers in the paint. I also can't believe how quickly Greg and Matic have fallen out of the core rotation. Guess that means we're down to a 9-man rotation for the time being....with Trent, DMW, Kipper and AJ off the bench.
He was used in the last play to defend the inbound.Is Greg out of the rotation? I got to watch the last game but I guess I did not really notice.
IMHO, not "just like" Northwestern, but pretty close. I don't consider DePaul or Northwestern to be one of our rivals... I could be wrong in my opinion but, I don't consider any of the in-state teams to be a true rivalry with the Illini.
Staff may want to rethink holding Ebo or Vesel out of games due to inexperience, bad practices, or whatever the reason. There's been numerous references of Ebo's defense/shot blocking ability and Vesel's shooting accuracy. Not wishing it will happen, but if one of our bigs go down, they'll have to lean on the freshmen then and the light part of the schedule right now would be the time to allow them in for just a few minutes more per game to get a feel for what's going on.
I think they were held out of the last game because it was a close game. Getting experience for those guys is really important. But still winning the game is more important.
Totally understand, yet 1-2 minutes per game for the freshmen bigs is not going to cut it and the upcoming games are not necessarily going to get any easier.
