I know if I were AJ OR DJ I'd have a hard time keeping a good attitude getting less playing time than a walk-on.

I hadn't even realized aj or djw hadn't been in. If we are gonna be in a zone djw should be in. At least he knows how to play in that since that's all he played in high school. And he provides some length

We always complain about not getting recruits. We get some, and Groce plays a walk on who has no offensive game and average defensively over them.

What motive does Groce have to screw his recruits by playing walk-ons over them? Ever think that Austin practiced better than others? I just don't see how people think Groce is intentionally putting in Austin over others just for fun...

I don't care about practice, screw practice, this is a game. And our freshman need to be getting playing time so they can develop. Austin has no where near the talent or ceiling as AJ or DJ.

Announcers do a lousy job on tracking fouls. Sometimes they don't even announce who the foul is on. How many fouls do Morgan and Finke have?

And to be honest, I feel like it's becoming a myth that Austin is that good of a defender. He isn't and that's not me trying to bash him. It's me getting insanely impatient with Groce's coaching decisions.

I'm not even sure it's Groce. He's usually not even looking when guys are getting up and checking in. I think he lets Ford make subs.

What is this weird thing we're doing occasionally tonight?

Offensive rebounding?

Hill should know better. We don't do that at Illinois.

Ever consider that Austin might be the tallest midget there?

Another reason to replace Ford.

It'll suck to lose that Canadian pipeline, but what can ya do?
