One thing ill say is, man these guys get up and guard you now. A lot different than the packline. Packline is a good M2M defense but to see athletes that play in your face defense is impressive.
It’s hard as hell to do, but fun as hell to watch.

Ugh, more ND references. They suck, they need to do more.
I'm a fan of Kipper but that's a terrible comparison.
This didn't answer my question.
Is there no exhibition games anymore. Is that an Underwood policy or just his first year doesn't wanna show other teams what we got thing?
Teams are allowed two exhibition games. However, if a team does the “secret scrimmage” thing, they replace exhibition games. Illinois has two of those. Hence, no exhibition games.
This year, a few teams were allowed to play charity games for hurricane relief. They got 3 exhibitions. Unique situation.

I think the team is traveling to Vandy/Nashville this Sunday...
It would've been nice to do it like the Kansas/Mizzo deal and open it to the public and ppv......I don't think this game would raise over a million dollars but we would get to see them before Nov. 10....
The Braggin Rights game will be sold out .... Maybe even televised depends on team records at that point ....

I can tell you this for a fact: Tejon and Damonte will be tough to keep out of the starting lineup this and next year. Coach LOVES LOVES what they are bringing right now. Damonte while still a little stiff moving has opened some eyes at practice.
Meet Matic!

Damonte was looking much improved prior to the injury. Pardon the hyperbole, but he reminded me of D Wade when Wade was at Richards HS in Oak Lawn. DaMonte issues with motor or disappearing seemed to have been fixed, he was looking tough inside and had his jumpshot on.
I'm not sure he will start but sounds like he will be part of the top 9 players right now. Don't think he gets minutes of Alstork, Kipper, or M Smith.
This is sadly my feeling as. They will score inside at will.
Next year and beyond though? All Illinois! :thumb:
CBS posted their rankings of all teams 1-351 today. Illinois is all the way down at 85

Man somebody needs to get him to a good pizza joint.
Sometimes an injury that keeps a kid out is the motivation they need to always work hard.

Taking a break from the awfulness that is college basketball recruiting...
Saw this on Reddit's AMA with KenPom:
This is awesome!
It's funny, people say the guy "hates" us, he's just a math guy with formulas that spit out data and he reports it.
Just win damn games
