I asked you not Ken PomeroyA good place to start
You mean like Kentucky??No we don’t have “talent that scares everybody else.” There are at least a dozen teams more more talented than us.

Kentucky and Bama sitting at home tonight.Thank you. And add Michigan, Kentucky,Alabama, and Memphis off the top of my head.
This team has three players that were (barely) top 50 out of HS. We’re not even close as far as raw talent to many of the teams listed.
Man, that was a nice relaxing watch. But my ambulance just pulled up, so I better go.
Altgeld on a roll tonightI believe it's somewhat more complex. While following the team this year has created adaptive cardiovascular effects in all of us that have undoubtedly strengthened our myocardium, this beneficial effect has been more than offset by the increasingly cirrhotic state of our livers over the course of the winter.
Uh this guy just died

Underwood also said that to the female reporter after the gameHeard one guy say that “offensively we stunk.”
The “healthiest we’ve been all year” is clearly a blatant misdirection.
Trent is half blind and beat to hell (but still played great D)
Grandison isn’t close to right
And did you guys see Curbelo plug his ear before the ref blew the whistle next to him on the inbounds?
Hopefully Jake and Trent are in better shape on Sunday.
Evidently many on here have decided he isn't good enough, just like they decided at midseason that Hawkins wasn't good enough.Have we gotten an explanation for no RJ?!?
Anybody?!
So I guess you never second guess any of the staff's decisions? My point is still the same, why would you come to play at Illinois if you don't even get a chance to see the floor in important games. I suppose you are going to tell me that every player on the opposing team tonight is better prepared than Melendez and Goode? I'm not buying that, and if they are we must be lacking in recruiting if we can't out recruit them. Also, according to half of the people on this board they weren't sure and some of them still aren't sure that we should play Curbelo and Hawkins. Maybe we should just play the seniors (like all the other teams in this tournament do/s) and they will show us the way.Trust is earned, not given. It's clear our freshmen haven't earned enough trust to regularly play in high leverage situations. I don't know the reasons, but I assume the staff have access to much more information about our players and their abilities and performance, so it would be silly to think I am better positioned to evaluate them.
He sure did change it. 6 turnovers and 1-7 shootingBelo has to start and play 35 minutes from here on out. Fresh legs and he just changes the game.
He also started several fires in getting us unstuck from scoring anything from anywhere. I get he is feast or famine a lot, but he is the one that got us close by some quicksilver moves that produced points when we needed them most. Yes, he does boneheaded wtf, but, he kept us in the game so Hawkins could keep up the cray, so we could ultimately replay the Kevin Harlan call a whole lotta times . I fugging love this team despite wanting to question every move they make. I live in Houston and know about Phi Slama Jama and history...and, since Ive been here and Case Keenum sorta making it in the NFL Im not torn at all about wanting Illinois to win, wasnt Kelvin Sampson a dick at some point? Go Illini and just unleash all your everyday guy things on the vibrations of the remaining games.He sure did change it. 6 turnovers and 1-7 shooting
