I can see that but his ratio wasn't bad. He didn't remind me of Curbelo at all. To me, he was much more under control the majority of the time.

Glad the meet another ISU Grad and Sycamore & Illini hoops fan!

I live in Terre Haute and saw Indiana State play 8-10 times this season. Kent would fit in beautifully. Good size, strength and motor. Avila is really fun and an interesting idea, but his foot speed showed against Minn, SMU, Cincy, and Sparty. Idk about that one plus I think he's the most...

I think he has the mentality. I don't think he has enough moves. It's always left and at a breakneck speed. When that works, it's awesome! When it's taken away, there's not much of a Plan B.

I like you're thinking here, although I like RJ's length, on-ball D and nose for doing dirty work.

Last night, Maryland ran the same play several times where they cleared out the left side of the floor and played a two-man pick-and-roll there. Obviously it wouldn't work every time but it got them 2-3 buckets in a 4-5 min stretch. In the last couple games TJS kept coming off a pin down and...

That last-place team took FF Michigan State to the BTT final, right? I remember feeling pretty good over those few days!

Epps is definitely the best option on the roster. I was questioning the best option with him out. TJS would not have been the guy I picked -- and others on here -- and I think we saw why. That's all I was saying.

Forgive me if it's been referenced in the previous 12 pages (I only read 6 of them). Why was TSJ the primary ballhandler with Epps out? I read where someone said CH should've been but with Shannon and why often left alone for one-on-one? Recipe for failure out of the gate. Seemed like that...

No offense taken. I certainly don't know about DD specifically and someone else mentioned that kinda being his personality. However, in general...players, people, everyone in the world...I think body language says a lot. Maybe nothing here though.

I understand Dain sitting much of the late game situations here -- although I may have thrown him in for a minute or two for a different look/breather for CH -- but I found myself concern about his expression and body language on the bench.

Why is Mizzou running, pressing and turning up the D but BU, defensive minded coached with the deepest, most position-less team he's ever had is playing slow and methodical? Who would you start/play in the 2H?

I thought Epps just tried to make plays because the last 4 minutes had a lot of stagnation.

This is exactly the kinda game Illinois wins. Don't know that they will, but it feels like there is a lengthy history of losing games they should win and also winning games they should lose. BB should definitely have the team's attention and focus right now. Plus, I'm making the trip up and...

Watching Kansas City play LSU. Made me wonder how Ace would fit in with this current Illinois team. I think the current team has the pieces to be really great and I'm not specifically missing him. It just made me wonder.
