People keep saying how we are going to be small, I don't really think that will be the case. There will be times we do not have a guy under 6-5 on the floor, I would also think we will be taller at 3 of the 5 spots in more games then we aren't.
6' 1" TF
Indiana is going to get destroyed.
Shoes or very thick socks?
Let me know what you guys think about these PPG numbers for the upcoming season. Am I too high on Alstork and Finke – maybe. But IMO they will carry the load with Hill and Morgan being gone. Smith has the chance to do very well his Freshman year. And I think Kipper makes a nice sophomore leap.
17 Proven scorer/playmaker = Alstork
12 Should do well in this offense, increased from 7 PPG last year = Finke
12 Has the chance to be near the top of the league as a freshman = Smith
10 Ok scorer, good rebounder, increased from 8 PPG last year = Black
8 Look for improved scoring this year, all around numbers should improve = Kipper
8 Proven playmaker, assist and PPG numbers should go up a bit = Tejon
6 Should be a nice scoring option off the bench.. 3's, drive and finish, transition = Frazier
4 Unproven scorer, we'll see how he progresses in this system = Jordan
2 Should get some transition points and buckets off Offensive Rebounds = Ebo
.5 Clayton Jones
.5 Tyler Underwood
? Williams ? If he doesn’t redshirt I could see him averaging up to 6 pts per game.
80 PPG
Last year OK State averaged 86 I believe.
*slow day at the office*
I think a lot of the practice report hype this year will be about Kipper knocking down 3's
I think we will score closer to 90,but we might give up about the sameLet me know what you guys think about these PPG numbers for the upcoming season. Am I too high on Alstork and Finke – maybe.

I'll eat my beach house if we score 90 per game
I would say
Alstork at 15 (17 at WSU and likely to drop against better competition)
Smith at 8 (not guaranteed starter)
Kipper at 5 (focus on defense)
Frazier at 4 (won't have much time)
Jordan at 0 (don't see him contributing at all)
Thus something around 70 should be reasonable. Black may score more than you think (12 to 20 range)

for all those with doubts about Greg" Spicey G" Eboigbodin you might want to listen to the pod cast of Tay and J

said he has a higher motor then Black and will be the fast guy on the team.
his high school coach is about to be on so it will be on there as well
Ill bet whatever you want, and my beach houses, that we score more than 80ppg.
How many big teams have scored over 80ppg in the last few years. I'm legitimately asking because the pace of conference play doesn't really provide much opportunity for an 77-78 ppg team, let alone 80+.
This last season Iowa avg 80.5 and Purdue and Indiana each avg 79.7

Last time Illini scored 80+ per game was the 93-94 season at 84 per
