This is where I struggle to see Braden Smith as All B10.
He'll no longer get 4 free assists a game dumping it down low, have 2-3 wide open post outlet 3s, or play as aggressive on D...he's only qualifying if he gets Edey's whistle.
I confess that I clapped at this play, remembering the Ayo hit.
Is Sissoko still playing for MSU? can't remember if he was a Sr. last year or not
I am guilty of using ... a LOT! It's basically a "whatever", "make of it what you will", "or "this is what I think, like it or not"...

I believe he still has eligibility, but hit the portal. Don’t quote me on that, though.
Ehhhhhh, so there is a term for it,...lol. That is very apropos....This the face I envision people make when they type an ellipsis
I often think of the ... as a 'fill in the blank however you want', lol...
thanks, I'll be happy if he's indeed gone

My purchase keeps failing during the completion process (card gets charged, but then immediately refunds). Is this working for anyone else? (Please feel free to DM me.)
A work in progress as I switched jobs and lost the coding I had from last year. Please let me know if you see any errors.

All I notice are that all the dates are 11/4
I bet the practice this evening wasn’t the most pleasant experience for our team. 
When Brad took the blame for the open threes in the first half, I thought that was such a difference from just a couple years ago, when I think he lights our guys up. He seemed pretty calm whenever I saw him on the sidelines.
That means a lot to me because that's how his demeanor was last year with a veteran team. We will see how long that lasts once the lights actually come on, but that seemed like a new chapter for Brad.
We surely have things to figure out, but I'm sure we will as the season progresses. It wasn't as easy as we thought it would be, and that's par for the course of Illini fans.

How many practices or gym sessions had all of our players participated together at this point?
It seems that some players got to campus late for legitimate reasons. It cannot be that long the whole team has been together
BU will find which players work the best with each other
I am interested to see how his defensive strategy adapts this year

Sooooo..........I bet the practice this evening wasn’t the most pleasant experience for our team.

Well, this summer I said that if Brad got this team into the top 10 as some were predicting that it would be his best coaching job ever. Lots of people knew that it wouldn't be easy. Some spoke up. I'm sure others didn't because people tend to attack anyone who expresses any doubts about our success.
It seems some people's outlook on the season has changed based on this one scrimmage. Mine hasn't. I'm still very optimistic and hoping that we don't have the chemistry issues that we say in 2022.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can be rather delusional when it comes to the Illini, especially Men's Basketball. After we beat Duke at MSG, I fully expect us in the Top 10, or even Top 5.
