So do we start Hill at PG next year? Lucas will only be a freshman and Abrams coming off 2 big surgeries.

I say let him play his natural position his senior year.

Man did we need one of these games.

Poor AJ is having a rough game.

AJ's has gotten some pretty good looks in many of the recent games, but they aren't falling. I'd love to see a late season burst from him.

I'm glad Coach saw my post about sitting Austin and playing the Frosh.

This experience is invaluable, and it's the right sort of game to get them lots of tick.

Can we get DJW more touches. I feel like he makes great decisions and doesn't let the ball stick.

freebird6 · Feb 16, 2016

Malcolm doing his best Steph Curry impression!

Hill just drained a some 30 footer shot and it was a prayer that was answered. What a beast.

Ironically, it was his first points in the second half. He already has 9 assists. On his way to a double-double.

Wow! Blogging is tailing off. Everybody must be bored by our dominating display tonight. May the boredom continue! Go ILL!!

I wish.

But 9 rebounds is nice, too.

Khalid Lewis is technically a Senior for us this year, right? Just uhh.. wondering.

May have misheard...

Listening to Barnhart and Hester.

Cool.

I hope people have noticed JCL's passing in this game. I'm not sure if he'll transition to the pg position this or next year but he will be a great facilitator even as a shooting guard. Just needs to clean up his handles and I think he'll be good to go.

icengineer · Feb 16, 2016

Come on Groce, sit Hill for the rest of the game....

The light bulb is going off for both DJW and JCL. I, for one, freaking love it.
