Since there is a finite number of games in a season, and basically a set number of wins that it takes to get into the tournament (~20 or 21), IMO no games should ever be considered "throw away" or "experimental" games. I want my team to have the best possible chance of getting wins, no matter...

Well this new schedule certainly works completely against young, inexperienced teams. May not have any all that much chemistry by the time December rolls around, which means we may be down in the hole 2 games in conference before Braggin' Rights takes place. Just stupid scheduling, stupid B1G...

:o

I unfortunately don't know anymore than that, just got a text from my source and that's all that he expanded on.

I heard from a pretty good source that Zion felt his visit to Iowa State was more impressive than his Illinois one.

Alright, who is feeling in the mood to take something that happened on Twitter and spin it into the most completely ridiculous, ominous thing ever? If you are: Pickett, who met with Underwood today, retweeted DaMonte's tweet with the questioning/pondering/thinking emoji. Have fun.

UNI went what, 14-16 this year?

Looks like Cuonzo to Mizzou is a go. https://twitter.com/EvanDaniels/status/842101295909634049 https://twitter.com/RockMNation/status/842099917392904192

And then it's even funnier when you learn that Stanford is paying for his home. Oh, to be a top program.

So he took 55 less 3-pointers (156 in 13/14 vs 101 in 14/15), but made only 2 fewer total in his last year (46 vs. 44), yet continuous practice on his shot over the years & in his time off was not the reason for his improved shooting? Ah gotcha, now I understand you. I don't think anyone is...

Hahaha you're right :) Should've looked it over before I posted, but you know what I mean lol. Should've probably said "meaningless" win rather than bad.

WE as Illini fans can use logic (well, mainly the pessimistic ones use all the logic around these parts apparently). He's saying that, when it comes around to it in March and NC State is an improved basketball team, then this will be looked at BY THE COMMITTEE, BY OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVES, as a...

Hasn't Groce's desired system all along been predicated on multiple, good-to-great PGs? The Way of the PG is the future of basketball anyhow.

You're correct, bottom tier is a little harsh for him; he is more middle of the pack, but I don't feel anything greater than that is proper. I should've stated that when I think of athletes (even on our team), Malcolm is not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th name that I think of that fits that...

Malcolm Hill is certainly bottom tier on the "athletic" chart. Malcolm Hill is also bottom tier on the "dribbling/handling" chart. That's like saying 3 > 2. While you're technically correct, just not a wide enough gap to accept the risk.
