If coach puts the ball in MS hands, he will have a game like he did against Goodwin X2, Liddell, and Tilmon. He doesn't shy away in these games. Let him control the offense. If you want to let him cut and then stand in the corner, you're not using him correctly. Get the ball in his hands. I have a feeling him and Trent are gonna bring it
Name calling? Really? That has to be breaking some rule.
Somebody on this team needs to channel Rayvonte Rice
I'm all in on booing the guy. You really think it will make national news if Illini fans boo an opponent? Have you ever like been to a basketball game? Thats sort of part of the atmosphere.
As for what he did wrong. I'm quite over him but happy to have any additional reason to despise miznoz... And pretty sure reaffirming his commitment to Illinois publicly 2 days before he jumped to an arch-rival didn't help much with his image among Illini fans. :noidea:
Well said :thumb:Guys/gals, c'mon - booing is a part of sports. As long as fans don't get into personal insults, going after family, physical harm, etc. (including in twitter feeds), any high level athlete needs to be accepting of the fact that in certain situations, you're gonna be boo'd. I'm sure JT got boo'd plenty of times when LaLu played whoever their rival school is. If that's what's gonna hurt his feelings, then he'll need to learn to get over it.
Fact of the matter is, he committed to his "dream come true" school, then decommitted. This is hours after he reaffirmed his commitment. He should have known that was going to have repercussions, and the only real way Illini fans can serve those repercussions (appropriately) is through booing him. I don't think it's morally wrong in any way to vent frustration. It's not a wish of ill will (or at least it shouldn't be and I don't think it is here in a vast majority of cases).
If i were there, i'd certainly boo him. But when the game's over, I wish him nothing but the best in his career. I don't think it's a stretch to have it both ways.
If we pass the ball like the 04-05 team did, I see no reason why we can't win.

I'd like to think that but feel we just don't match up well with these guys. I do hope we put put up a good fight, though, and am pleasantly surprised.

Losing by 30 is a real possibility, and that's without Porter Jr.
Game is making me nervous.
I'll be pretty surprised if we win.
1. We've beaten absolutely no one so far.
2. We've done poorly down the stretch against decent teams
3. Missouri is actually ok this year
4. They have some depth up front, and we foul like crazy
5. The metrics have them 8 points better on a neutral court
Finke has to feel a good ten pounds lighter! I bet he will be flying around that court Sat. night! Watch those twinkle toes go!!
Maybe cutting the man bun off the back of his head will help him stop fading backwards in every shot and he will start shooting like he is capable. I know it is just a haircut but maybe it signifies a more grown up tougher attitude and approach. And did I mention I hope he quits falling back on shots and free throws
Folks, there's booing, and then there's being a fan of a pro team in Philly.
We're OK with some good-natured booing of JT.
