Wow, the single greatest sports weekend of the year is finally upon us. Praying for upsets, but not for our beloved. Lets go Illini!

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Greatest four days of the year

 

[pruman91]

college BB heaven is here !!!!!!

 

[Illinisnake]

I don't know why, I am just nervous

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Jason Benetti subbing in for Brian Anderson for the games today in Buffalo. Benetti was already set to call the games in Buffalo on radio for Westwood One.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

CBS talking about the great freshmen in college basketball and didn't mention Wagler.

Though Kellogg did mention he's got some sixty guys on his list that he points out as remarkable.

 

[Illinidrew]

The lack of Wagler mention was pretty wild there.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

 

[Chase321]

CBS is a joke. Lack of Wagler mention this morning. Pearl being given a prime position. It’s a joke. If you have not read the Will Leitch article about Pearl in The Athletic and you have access it’s a great read. The Light The I discussion with Leitch from yesterday is also excellent.

[Illinidrew]

Did they just say there are only 22 players in all of college that have stayed for 4 years at one school?! That is an insane stat if so!

 

[kyillinifan]

Sad they don't mention Keaton on cbs. He is the story concerning freshman bball players. Prove those knuckleheads wrong.

 

[Illini2010-11]

Competitive 8/9 games are a great way to start the slate of madness.

 

[gary?]

Competitive 8/9 games are a great way to start the slate of madness.

although tcu clearly looks like the better team so far

 

[Illinisnake]

Sad they don't mention Keaton on cbs. He is the story concerning freshman bball players. Prove those knuckleheads wrong.

I think as of now, these are the best 6 freshmen in college basketball
1. Darryn Peterson
2. Cam Boozer
3. Acuff
4. Caleb Wilson
5. AJ Dybantsa
6. Kingston Flemings or Keaton Wagler

 

[Illini2010-11]

Yeah, so far both OSU and Nebraska are starting out relatively flat.

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

The rims in OKC are so dang loud lol

 

[GForce]

wow, a ton of loud Neb fans in attendance for their game, unless the crowd is just very pro husker

 

[Illini2010-11]

The rims in OKC are so dang loud lol

They definitely mic'd them up well.

 

[nyc_illini]

TCU’s defense is tough

 

[rdk573]

TCU’s defense is tough

They way they are playing, I'm glad we're not facing them in the first game...They would probably beat us..

 

[From the cheap seats]

Shocked how bad OSU looks. They look like they don’t belong in the tournament.
And Nebraska doesn’t look much better. They may never get a NCAA Tourney win.
Update: Nebby may have awaken.

 

[stlrunner]

I felt good about Ohio State in this game going into it...they've been playing well, Bruce Thornton is finally in an NCAA game and is good...but I forgot that Jake Diebler is their coach.
