Personally, I like Bardo, Hummel and cranky Bilas.
Disagree - no way Dakich could ever call an outstanding game and I've already said Robbie Hummel is the guy.None of these guys could ever be good enough for some of you. Good grief. Maybe change your perspective a wee bit.
They could call an outstanding game, and one comment from them would have half this boards panties in a wad.
Hawk Harrelson sends his regards, and wants you to know Wrigley is the worst place on earth for 9 straight innings, oh and the Sox are losing by 6.Dakich is the worst all time, all sport.
I'm a Bilas fan as well. He usually starts lighting up the refs before tip off.Personally, I like Bardo, Hummel and cranky Bilas.
Doesn't this mean a ton of money has been put on Illinois so far and the books want to sway it back a bit to hedge? I may have gotten it reversed but I think the point is the same.The betting line for tonight's Illinois/Indiana game has dropped from yesterday Illinois -5 to today Illinois -1.5. What's going on? An Illini injury, suspension, or something of the sort?
exactly the opposite. If more money was on Illinois they would be higher favorites.Doesn't this mean a ton of money has been put on Illinois so far and the books want to sway it back a bit to hedge?

I like Dakich better as Bardo is horrid.I have always been a Dakich defender, but, Bardo is better IMHO.
Its how the money is going. Money is being bet for IU. Vegas adjusts the line to balance the betting.The betting line for tonight's Illinois/Indiana game has dropped from yesterday Illinois -5 to today Illinois -1.5. What's going on? An Illini injury, suspension, or something of the sort?
Interesting because Archie said last night that Franklin "isn't healthy at all" and "hobbled'As I had previously mentioned I think Amaan Franklin will be in the lineup and to take a number down like that took lots of money betting on IU to do that.

It will be interesting to see how BU uses these two tonight. I haven't seen or heard anything that would indicate an injury. BBV is finally healthy, which is great news. It's even better news for the team if he has beaten CH out for those spot minutes. I think CH has played reasonably well. If BBV is an upgrade, that's good news. I don't think most of us have seen enough of his game to know for sure what we have there.Does anyone know the status of C Hawkins? If I'm not mistaken he didn't play vs. Iowa and BBV did. Was it a bad matchup for him, is he in the doghouse or injured or something else?
I have my doubts. DW seems to me to have looked reluctant to shoot the past few games. (1 of 5 from deep in the last 5 games) AM didn't make or take many shots in the last game, but Iowa wasn't leaving him open either. If DW regresses into a reluctant shooter, its really going to mess with our spacing. If anything, we might see Curbelo crack the starting lineup. He played significantly more minutes than either AM or DW against Iowa, and was on the floor in the deciding minutes.Anyone think we'll see Damonte unseat Adam Miller? I would take that as another shakeup if we falter in the next few games.
I know others have mentioned they'd like to see Adam Miller have a chance for some freedom with that second unit. Maybe it would loosen him up and we'd see some good things.
I've been saying that I'd like to see his minutes come with Curbelo on the court and see if that could help set him up to score more.Anyone think we'll see Damonte unseat Adam Miller? I would take that as another shakeup if we falter in the next few games.

I think starting off this game with energy and control is crucial. DW has defense, hustle, smart playmaking and just lots of high IQ stuff to get possessions. I will take that, versus spot up three point shooting, as more of an asset in the first 10 minutes tonight.Anyone think we'll see Damonte unseat Adam Miller?

Educated guess is BBV over Hawkins was matchup based. If memory serves both Kofi and Giorgi had picked up a foul when BBV came in, and BBV was matched up on Garza. Guessing BU was looking to steal a minute or 2 and save his bigs from further foul trouble and BBV was just a better choice to body up Garza. If I had to bet I would say CH gets more tick over BBV tonight.It will be interesting to see how BU uses these two tonight. I haven't seen or heard anything that would indicate an injury.
