Good defense by Vaaks

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Burris ref is related to Bo Burris from Danville who did many of my games back in the early 60s? Bo was my favorite.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Boat race
So who EXACTLY will be our 9th man??!? 
Looking good in transition
Has anyone seen evidence of any kind that QC is not an elite shooter? I sure haven't. And maybe the best rebounder for his size since Don Freeman?
Quentin can really make shots off the bounce.
Less of Providence Vaaks and more going to the basket
Rebounding is rough without our usual rotations.
Really spoiled last year by Mirk / Keaton. Our offense was clearly built with the mindset of Mirk playing a Cam Boozer type role. Think we’re still figuring out how we will play without him.
The lack of set plays is apparent right now. Even Jake Davis is cornering himself into bad spots and throwing sloppy bailout passes.

I’ve seen enough. Lincoln Williams might be my favorite freshman
Lincoln is such an active defender
Ethan Brown 3

Illini have been blessed with so many talented guards that standing out over his teammates may be the biggest hurdle for him to reach that status. He is good with high IQ, but I have her to identify the strengths in his game that are above all others. And two, maybe three really talented guards coming in next year. I really love Ethan's game and would not trade him for anyone, but All B1G players truly stand out in something over all others.
If these are our freshman, I love the look of our future
Another Brown 3
At this rate, we're going to be asking who our 11th man is.So who EXACTLY will be our 9th man??!?
98% of his made threes were assisted. His role is to take and make the open shots.
You do actually know how high 7-8 3pt attempts per game is?
Keaton was at 5.9. Plummer is our only player that’s been over 7 (7.3).

Did not know Elijah Garrett ended up at UIC. Top level HS hooper in Texas these last couple years.
Only real thing I’d gripe about so far is cleaning up our rebounds
These freshman can play some ball
