I am assuming all of our sarcasm meters should be going off?

Is there much difference in today’s college basketball world?

That's very true on the rebounding. I am so torn on Ty at the end of the games. If he could make Da'Monte progress from three, I would be happy. If they leave him wide open, he hits it. He has decent form on his free throws now; hopefully, this is the next step.

This was a clean block; the Edey stare-down verified it as CH laid on the floor. The stare-down trumps your picture proof.

True, but from Purdue's perspective, hitting 8 out of 10 in the second half from 3 covers up a huge percentage of those 1,000.

I apologize if it’s already been discussed, is everything good with Guerrier?

Just my opinion, but I think we could count Meyers in this discussion since Robinson is about 30 miles south of I-70.

On the other hand, let's see how well they follow him down to the post and try to stop him there. Spread the court, one pass and he slides down low. Ty can be an even bigger issue for them going the other way.

I know I'm in the minority, but I would have loved to have seen John Groce succeed at Illinois. He seemed to be a quality guy, but good guy or not, you have to win. He seems to just be a mid-major guy. He's done well at Akron and from an outside perspective, he makes his players better men...

Underwood also has a track record of putting lead guards in the NBA if they will stick with him. Obviously Ayo, and as I remember, Juwan Evans at 6' tall about 170 lbs was also drafted after one year in Underwood's system.

or thinks he should be playing. If someone is going to help them win, the coach is going to play them.

Is it still just speculation or do we think he is an Illini? People seem to be just putting him in the mix already.

No, the team and the players are the key, but the team and players get much better looks when all 5 guys run the offense. You can like or not like Underwood's offense, but the team is better if everyone buys in to it.

Has this board speculated creaning everyone besides TSJ and Coleman since Underwood missed on one recruit? Every program misses on recruits including the blue bloods. Do you seriously think the coaches do not have a plan at this point? It may not work out, but they have a plan. We should be...

If RayJ comes, that would be three guys that many considered potential 2nd round picks. How “jump off the page” are we looking for? I would think any of those 3 could be first team all Big Ten.
