I've taken that fall before, but not at 270 pounds.
I understood his reaction. Also, probably not much anyone can do to help.

I would not classify Buie and Audiege as intelligent guards, the school they attend notwithstanding. They make very questionable plays all the time. Being older, they may succeed sometimes. But I think their BB IQ sucks.
My wife’s mum is really PETTY.

Maybe so. It was just reeeaaallll uncomfortable watching him writhe around by himself. I'm probably much more used to football where the trainers are out there asap if someone goes down.
well this isn't good - if he's out again that's 3 games without him and this one is a must-win

I guess my question is this if he gets substituted for does he have to stay out the whole game? If not even though I think he made both free throws wouldnt it have been better to put in a lot better free throw shooter cause he’s not good at shooting them? I think his hip might’ve helped him shoot them softer actually haha.
Why would he be in practice uniform if he was in concussion protocol?
Exactly....thinking we may see TSJ in uniform tomorrow night

I'm pretty sure Brad isn't going to show his hand until he has to, regardless of TSJ's current condition.
Steve Bardo suggested that he was not optimistic thatt Shannon would play in that Underwood would be wise in holding him out if he could play.
What isn't good? Brad isn't going to say if he plays or not. Him practicing says plenty.
Brad Underwood's sly a** talking to media is probably the least reliable source you could find

With the game tomorrow, I am somewhat worried our sellout streak will end ... which would be disappointing, as we really need a great homecourt advantage.
Right now, our sellout streak is at eight games - dating back to the Bethune-Cookman game in December. Our sellout streak for Big Ten home games is at twelve, dating back to our home game vs. Northwestern in February of 2022.

I might still be on the ground
There are other measures for being a rival. For example, Northwestern has promoted itself in the media as, 'CHICAGO's Big Ten Team!'.
Well, except for the fact that the main campus is not in Chicago and that there are seven trillion Illini grads and fans in the Chicagoland area... that kind of foolish bragging doesn't hold up to the facts.
U of I is what Northwestern secretly wishes it was. Illini Nation is Global and passionate. Northwestern grads move away and take high paying corporate jobs and forget all about basketball. That is, if they ever cared about it in the first place.
Illini grads go on to take high paying jobs while STILL caring about basketball.
Or soccer where falling down and rolling around for a couple of minutes is pretext for getting a blow and perhaps drawing a penalty.

Yeah, no one is saying they are our biggest rival, but the overall record is not a deal breaker. Georgia/Georgia Tech (football), Kansas/Kansas State (basketball) and even Illinois/Missouri (both) are very clearly rivalries regardless of what the overall record is. A lopsided overall series record might diminish a rivalry, but it certainly doesn't disqualify it. I'm not a fan of "gatekeeping" rivalries, and I'm perfectly fine with calling Northwestern a "rival" on paper ... even if they're significantly far behind Iowa, Indiana or Missouri.
