MLT dropping some common sense on the Ty decision and how the team looks going forward…

When talking about Kylan, MLT subtly calls out TW for not going over to pick up Dra after getting fouled on a layup attempt. I noticed this too; TW wanted the lob and was upset about not getting it. Didn’t love seeing that two hours after finding out Ty was out of the picture.

In that moment, I definitely thought there should have been a lob there.

But still, he should have picked his teammate up.

No reason to feel defensive or ashamed of your passion my guy, we're all Illini fanatics on this board, keep it up with the positivity!

Had a long day and can’t figure out who MLT is. Can you assist?

It's nice that, apparently, KJ and TI are in no way hot shots, prima donnas, etc.

Not that I necessarily expected that they would be, but they do have slightly more prestigious backgrounds than a transfer from Mercer, say.

They both seem like nice humble kids, eager to please coach, coachable, etc.

I loved that moment today where KJ did the Euro cheek-to-cheek thing with Morez after the latter's big shot block.

After two games, the 2024-25 scoring seems a little clearer. Speculating our three NBA guys will lead the way. Here's my guess, with an 8-man rotation once conference season rolls around:

16 - KJ (we need the ball in his hands at crunch time)
16 - Ivisic
16 - RIley
9 - Humrichous (80% of his scoring will come from threes)
7 - White
7 - Kylan
6 - DGL
5 - Morrez
1 - Booth
1 - J.Davis
----
84

Fun hypothetical: we are 7-0 after Arkansas going into our first B1G game. Wins against ranked Alabama and Arkansas. How high are we ranked?

Where are the other 16 points?

Two years ago Virginia was top 5 for two ranked wins vs us and Baylor the first two or three weeks of the season...

I'd assume somewhat about there...

I'd say top 10, maybe 8th? They'll still be some other undefeated teams by that point. Whether those teams were also undefeated at the time also matters. Alabama would have to have beaten Purdue @ Purdue and Arkansas would have beaten Baylor.
