Most impressed by Illini D. PSU had trouble getting ball anywhere near basket, short shots, front of rim bounce-offs, rushed, air balls, stripped, slow ...

All because of speedy, tall, talented Illini.

One game at a time.

And let KJ heal. No rush.

Go Illini.

I want to personally extend a heartfelt O & B " THANK YOU " to the beloved for allowing me to spend 2 + hours of pure bliss watching them destroy and get some revenge on the zittening lambs tonight....................

I was down in the dumps learning that KJ would miss the game tonight and that forlornness was exacerbated by falling behind by the score of 11-5 early in the 1st half........


From that time in the game , it turned in to an Illini Hullabaloo with Illini outscoring the zit;s by a score of 86-41.........YAHOO.....

3 Illini reached the 20 point plateau with those being Ben , Tre and Rez......................total domination........

this tonight does NOT erase all those bad losses to the zits but it's a great start..........the zits had a good record before the game but the Illini broke that vinyl into a gazillion pieces and showed how talented this season's team really really is..............

pru , that was an embarrassing beatdown of the zits with our best player missing the game..........call you later hunnybunny....

ok babe , talk to you soon...............it's about time we restored the world order pertaining to the Illini - psu series........

it seemed like almost all the Illini scored except for Mr. Redd........but he did some steady dribbling to close it out..................

I'm Gandolf the Great and I approve this rout............I really really do...........

Some toughts...

- Morez is a bonfire starter who could be an absolute star...however I get Brad's conundrum with the bigs. Morez needs to be stealing minutes from both Ben and Ivisic. Those 3 are quite a trio but Morez has so much upside.

- Will continues to worry me...not talent wise, just where he is development wise. They were letting him run point the last handful of minutes to get him going...but he is just not there yet. His body is too frail, he's a good athlete but he's not a burner or crazy leaper. Right now, IMO he needs to find other ways to help them team aside from taking it 1 on 1 everytime. Cut, make a pass (he did have 5 assists), rebound, run the floor hard, get loose balls...he may turn out to be awesome, but he just isn't right now and I want to see progression in other areas. For the love of God come back for a 2nd year...an off-season with Fletch and dedication on the gym will get him where he wants to be. Stay the course. And again...thank God for Tre White.

- Our defense is...miles and miles and miles and miles better then I thought it would ever be. We smothered them.

- Last 12 or so minutes were hard to watch because when your beating the piss out of someone that bad you end up relaxing and doing a bunch of dumb sh*t. Stupid missed layup and turnovers. Stay clean. Although I'm not gonna complain too much after winning by nearly 40...

- If you watched the game and their jerseys didn't have "Penn State" on them...you would think that was a D3 school. I don't think they are that bad...but my goodness were they awful tonight.

- Beat USC and get in the top 10 next week.

We out

Two years ago we had head cases that really turned into a pretty disappointing season. Every player is different. Circumstances are different.

Both DGL and White had the history that suggested that they might be head cases. Instead BU has molded them into team players and major contributors on a top 10 team. A testament to him and these guys who seemed to have settled in so well.

I hate saying this and I hope I'm wrong, but I've had this nagging feeling I can't shake.

Will feels like a potential Podz trajectory to me in some ways.

Freshman year getting footing in a system that doesn't rely on your offense but demands defense. And playing against guys that can check you more than you've ever experienced.

Sophomore year, look for a role where you're a ball dominant scorer and can showcase your talents, even if it's against lesser competition, thereby catching NBA attention.

I'm hoping someone can tell me why I'm way off.

Hammer got a lot of flack for the defense last year. I assume his role this year is just as significant? I need to give major props if so because no one here could have imagined this stout of a defense for the team going into the season.

What we are seeing is a group of talented kids being coached, learning what they can do for their team, and hungry for their team to reach their goals....together. And they know that can only be achieved by trusting each other. We are seeing contributions by every player in different games that provides opposing coaches a head-shaking problem when game planning. And with the defense improving game by game and the rebounding strong every game....the sky is the limit.

Podz transferred because he couldn’t get on the court here, Will started tonight. Kid just needs some time to add weight and develop
