Admittedly, I don't know the internal discussion process but it feels like a mistake to let Sencire go out the door so (apparently) easily. If nothing else, his high energy play and shut-down defense would have kept him in most any rotation. I guess we will have to see how the guard position is...

Yeah, I was thinking in the 2H that Domask is doing to them what always seems to happen to the Illini. Some decent but relatively unknown guy goes ballistic and we all say 'who the fork is that guy'

I feel like a bad fan as this is my first BR game

Brad has joined the board. This forum just became elite

Just got tix for three of us (wife/son/myself). We have about twenty total family going in various sections and all Illini fans from around the state including groups from St Louis, Peoria and Lincoln areas. Good times!

Skyy will be fine. I love that the Illini have other options. When he cuts down on TO's and plays a little better on defense he will be in there at crunch time too. Coach correctly just played the hot hand tonight and the boys took over.

Because nobody touched the ball yet

I like Morez but he is no EJ Liddell. Liddell was much more skilled at same stage. Morez might have an inch or two on him tho. Neither Brown nor Johnson are EJ status imo and setting that bar for them will likely lead to disappointment.

Rj has been incredibly soft which is a suprise to me. Weak turnovers , weak defense and generally not tough and active enough. I do not remember this version of RJ last year.

Was at the game and have seen St Rita previously. The good is both Morez and Brown have very good (college) size and already have some quick spin post moves while being fairly active big men. The bad is they are both average athletes and relatively poor shooters. Morez specifically is much...

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story lol

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear. I meant I thought the ship had sailed on Curbelo coming back. I stand by my comment on a better chance Miller comes back than Curbelo. Your statement is interesting and makes a lot of Illini sense now w Podz leaving. Still doubt it will happen but can make sense.

Stupid is as stupid posts. I'd personally give the chances of Adam Miller coming back better than Curbelo (no, I don't think Miller is coming back before we start 10-15 pages). That ship has sailed.

Pretty sure we will see Podz is taller than Harris. If either are 6'5" it is Podz

A good amount of chatter for (gulp) Michigan
