I thought we did ok...except Curbelo's Curly Neal impression sequences.Our point guards got to stop making so many turnovers.

100% - you gotta play this kid and just watchCurbelo gets the occasional attack of the freshman stupids, but you don’t have to squint real hard to see how special he’s going to be.
lol wut?Deron v frank? Lol. Deron is in a different universe..
I’m almost always a “just win” guy, but I must disagree.Must...beat...Mizzou
Is that good?Damonte williams is 9-13 from 3s this year....
Illini basketball is fun again!!
I have a feeling Duke will drop out of the top 25 this season. Quote meThe only downside to this is that we now need to root for Duke so this win continues to look fantastic.
I was just saying that you were comparing to Deron and Frank. The only thing I was saying was That in my opinion DERON and Frank Cannot be mentioned in the same sentence. Hahaha. Deron was/is a beast.lol wut?
Deron and Frankie are my 2 favorite Illini! I was a teenager watching them. When I watch highlights now, Frankie is more outstanding, IMO. Deron was a stud for sure.I was just saying that you were comparing to Deron and Frank. The only thing I was saying was That in my opinion DERON and Frank Cannot be mentioned in the same sentence.

I hate that this post makes so much sense. I really just wanted to enjoy this win ... at least for one damn hour, hoopsfan47.This was a below avg. game for the Illini...and you can be certain BU and the players know that. The game was won because one team shot the lights out and the other was shooting in the dark...pretty simple. Never seen a Duke team shoot that poorly...or for that matter....very few Illini teams shoot that well....since 1956 when we got our first TV and I started watching Manny Jackson and Govoner Vaughn compliments of Chesty potato chips. Likely we will never see such a disparity with the poorer shooting team walking away with a win. But that ultimately is what basketball is all about....putting the ball in the basket. However, the rest of the play was at very best average. It will be a good win on the resume, but for anyone watching, until this team cleans up the turnovers, passing, bad fouls, and free throw shooting, they will be beatable by the Ohios and Northwesterns on the schedule and struggle to get past the Second Round.
But do that, and they can beat anyone. They can do and accomplish whatever they set their minds to. With a willingness to listen to the coaches and work hard, they can achieve beyond their dreams. Anything worth accomplishing at that level comes with discipline and hard work. Just do it!
I think you must be including post-college careers to come to that conclusion. I would argue Deron was the second best player on his (admittedly amazing) team. I’m not knocking Deron - but Frank is ABSOLUTELY in the same conversation in Illini history.I was just saying that you were comparing to Deron and Frank.
