Luther Head's leap of excitement is always my favorite part of this clip. Dude was playing on a bum leg almost the whole game.
Not sure why this was posted BUT I never get tired of seeing it. The defense, heads up passes, the timely screen, the pull up, the pandemonium… such a beautiful basketball moment!

My favorite single moment in that game is when Luther gets that steal in OT & drives in for the layup to put us up like 6. Enberg's call over the top of it is just his trademark "OH MY". You could see the pain on Luther's face as he was taking it to the basket. Just an absolute warrior.
One of the side stories of that game is this was one of Enberg's last great moments he was on a national call for. He was around 80 for that game & was sharp as he ever was. Just masterful on the call.

I can assure you my father does not smell like elderberry.
I was gearing up to post this while reading the last few pages.
I shall now fart in your general direction…….
I would disagree. Hurley has definitely done the work. He earned his way in. He will stay there until we beat him.Hurley is living in Loyalty's head rent free . . .
Agreed. In the case where a team has an almost insurmountable advantage, the only way to lose is by making this kind of mistake. It's just about the equivalent of deciding to pass the ball instead of going into victory formation, leaving the opponent the chance for a return or hail mary.
In a vacuum, one play doesn't make the game. On this specific case, it most certainly does. If Boozer holds the ball, he's shooting two free throws with around 6 to go. More than likely they are up at least three and at least can't lose.

It's Jokic if Jokic wasnt also the best passer in the NBA.

Sounds like you agree...?
Apparently Jeremy Werner got hacked out of his twitter account.
Jokic is nowhere near the rim protector that Kofi was. He was a flat out intimidator that was an absolute powerhouse. He could bring a rim down. Jokic is nowhere near that type of player. Jokic is far more skilled. There's no doubt about that.
Plummer had a quick trigger and unlimited range. He could shoot it from anywhere.
If you combine the two..... there's just no comp.
he can provide what Humrichous provided last year. hustle, shooting, maybe even guard somebody?
That's the way I see it - can't join the club until you beat the gatekeeper. Underwood can collect talent, that is pretty evident. Now he needs to show he can lead a talented team into the upper tier. Beating Sampson was a nice first step.
I don’t disagree…I was being sarcastic.
Not sure logic enters into a question about most satisfying. Even if Hurley wasn’t a jerk and I didn’t have a couple of acquaintances who are UConn fans, it isn’t really close for me — UConn. Win over Duke (NET) and/or Michigan (conference) might have more impact, but turning the table on UConn would be more satisfying. And if we meet UConn in tourney again, finally having a win over them could help the psyche.
I mean you brought it up againWas just checking in to see if we were back to discussing Illinois again yet or still sniffing Hurley Musselman jock straps
I haven't posted since yesterday afternoon and there's 2 more pages of this since I last chimed in
