Ottawa has to be having a blast out there, honestly. No pressure and a few potential NBA dudes getting buckets against you. Nice to have this tape to show your kids and grandkids.

If Harris could shoot
That 3 from Sencire had some serious side spin.
Whitmans Sampler
- Eastern Iowa
His shot has… not improved
Back in now.
4 minutes and 6 rebounds.
That was a grown man rebound and putback by Amani
I sure hope AH is patient and determined to soak up valuable experience. He will be a beast and will likely help win a game or two this season....and a bunch over the coming years.

I'm relying on the updates here and Twitter and it has my juices flowing, but @illini0440 did have a post about the overreactions of tonights game.

I'm pretty sure if I stood my 5'10" frame next to Amani I would consider him a "grown man" also.

Like National Championship or we fire the coach?
This team has a chance to keep turnovers in single digits for the game....pretty amazing given all the new guys. But the last 5 min. may get pretty sloppy.

Any season-long judgements about this game and the performances therein are plainly premature and overreactions. That said, it does not seem to be the usual lackluster performance against a much much lighter weight team that start off some Illlini years.

I'll get my pitchfork.Like National Championship or we fire the coach?
Heck with that....close up the doors of the entire program...no excuses.Like National Championship or we fire the coach?
Yeah, no made shots yet for Harris and Moretti. Everyone else looking pretty good, shooting-wise.

If that is the biggest overreaction we are in great shape to start the year.
