This one goes out to Pru for all he does. Little ditty is from Travis Graf of Rivals titled, Which Team Do You Think Is Undervalued.

GRAF: Indiana is a top-10 team in the country on paper in my opinion, and it really has an argument to be ranked that high in the preseason. The Hoosiers, who are ranked No. 13, return Trayce Jackson-Davis, one of the best players in the country, and surround him with talent in the frontcourt and on the perimeter.
Xavier Johnson will be a key piece for the Hoosiers, as will Race Thompson. Miller Kopp and Tamar Bates should be good rotational pieces as well. Lastly, the Hoosiers have one of the most underrated freshmen duos in Jalen Hood-Schifino and Malik Reneau.

Nice write up by Sam Vecenie over at The Athletic on Hawkins. He has him as a top 20 big in all of college basketball. He says he's expecting something like 15 and 10 from Coleman in this offense. If Hawkins averages 15 and 10, we're going to be very, very good.

Possible but not probable IMO. Not a knock on him just simply with so many weapons on our team the points may spread out to players. I can see him getting 10 rebounds or near that (probably more like 8 though.)

I’m trying to remember how I knew last year, but it WAS apparent. I might have even asked someone here (presumably a season ticket holder).
IFund members get a form mailed to them which shows the sections for UIUC. I'd have to pull mine out of recycling to get the deets (I can't make it to the Lou on a Thursday evening).

Do they alternate sides each year, or is there a designated Illini/Mizzou side?
I don't know the answer to that (first year in IFund). I found the mailer--the Illinois seating block is sections 104 - 115, and 304 - 320. I'm assuming that Miznoz gets a symmetrical allotment on the other side, which may leave a few sections near center court as No Man's Land.

Another day , another idiotic statement to ponder..........................I usually ponder about more interesting topics.................

and enjoy this ponderation greatly , as she is definitely ponderlicious......................................

I just don't understand the infatuation with a dim-witted , unhustling doofus loosier like TJD...........He is always a step slow and looks like his brain is having trouble staying up with the fast pace of today's college game ..........

Well , to each his own ,,,,,Opinions are like rear ends , everyone's got one ,,,,,,,I have a lot of confidence that TJD will again fail to live up to the blusterous praise heaped on his meager abilities and be lucky to get in to the dance as was the case last year.........

JMHO...................................

Always think it’s interesting WHERE people carry their height. Mayer has a long torso it would seem. Dain has REALLY long legs.

I’m 6’3”ish which is just a bit over average but am almost always the “tallest” seated passenger on the plane. All torso.

I remember your post description as disinterested on the court...that correlates with will or inner drive....TJD has skills, no doubt....But best in the nation or BT POTY ??
Not only no, but h*ll no!!!!!
I look for the loosiers to be middle of the pack in the B1G as X. Johnson has suspect handles and will accumulate some T's because of his lack of control..

Woodson has not convinced me of his coaching skills and with Matta gone we could see some mistakes in decision making....Woodson also showed last season of that Bruce Weber " throwing players under the bus " tendency..

The wild card for the loosiers is how good are the 5 * freshmen?

TJD hopefully goes pro overseas next year as I firmly believe the NBA is out of his grasp...

JMHO.....
