Game Thread: Illinois at Ole Miss (Exhibition)
- Status
So much for Ole Miss cooling off.
Also, I would really like to see this team, our coaching staff, do what Beard is doing. Teach some defense. That is the one gripe I have over BU tenor here. We don’t have any defensive diversity.
Maybe, just maybe, that will change one day. That is what will take us to the last game of the year. Defense.

Slow team speed
I don't mind KJs play, but Boswell's too much of a vet to make his mistakes. Just a lack of chemistry.
Will Riley looks way over matched.

I was hoping to see a "team", but that would be silly to expect at this point.
So, yes a game like this is awesome to have when it doesn't count.
We have the pieces, and a good reason to trust the coach.

Our bigs switch poorly of aren't fighting through screens, end up guarding the perimeter and have one of two choices. 1)Getting blown by with a dribble drive or 2) giving the shooters some space to get their shots.
KJ just looks like he is in shock.
Young vs Veteran team difference. Gonna take some games to tighten it up.

Or an 18 yo HS kid playing against grown a$$ men.
There are going to be a lot of humbling lessons during the film sessions next week. Glad this one is practice.
if brad finishes in the top 4 of the conference this year, he will have to do his best coaching job yet at Illinois ..
But this team is trying to make WAY TO MANY fancy passes. Keep it simple.

Best time for it. He needs to take some major steps up before Alabama.
Some were saying he was a 1st round NBA draft guy. Maybe we get to keep him for a few years.
16 TOs in 27 minutes not gonna get the job done, fellas.
In my humble opinion, this was expected. They are talented, need time to gel. They might look good going against each other in practice, but game time is a different animal.
Coach will get them ready, it’ll take some time.

And that still doesn’t change my statement. He looks shocked.
Didn’t say he is bad. He just is in shock. This game is much faster than Europe.

Well... Then he drains 2 three's.
The post game thread is going to be very interesting…gonna be some juiced posts on both ends of the spectrum
Again, exhibition for a brand new team with a ton of young guys, but I'd be lying if I didn't say how disappointed I've been with the play of Rodgers, Boswell, and White. These are dudes that have played big games in big environments and they all 3 are out of control and not playing well at all.
Underwood is giddy.... Licking his 'coaching lessons' chops right now.
I agree with you in part, but he is coming here with the reputation and expectation(by many) that he'll be a first round draft choice next year. It's only a practice game, so not taking too much out of it.
Edit: He's also not a HS kid. I believe he played pro ball last year.
