For us college hoops fans, this is arguably the best week of the year outside of March. Hope we get our Feast Week started right, put together a complete 40 minutes, and then get ready for the biggie on Thanksgiving.

Amen

What should we look for tonight that shows progress in turning this talent into a TEAM

How about teamwork?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

This game will show a lot IMO. They were picked first in their conference... and I believe it was like a 6 point game vs ARK midway through second half.

If we can have a good showing, would make me more confident heading into thanksgiving day.

I want to see Boswell not go 0-7 from ARC in first half and continue to play smothering defense. 5 games we have shot nearly 200- 3's. I'm still not sold. Riley in the starting lineup and Morez playing a bit more.

Side note: Hurley of Uconn has a face and behavior you'd like to treat like pizza dough. Dainja went for 14 and 5 and Memphis beat Uconn.

Was hoping we’d break them out for the Arkansas game but I’ll take it.

Oh we’ll for sure decide it’s best to go back to the 1LL1NO1S rags on national TV.

Trying to remember the last time the best player on a college basketball team was never a starter.

 

[skyIdub]

Hey a preceding game ended right on time!!

It's still very early in the season. Riley could end up starting eventually, or he might fizzle out once conference play starts.

It's still very early in the season. Riley could end up starting eventually, or he might fizzle out once conference play starts. Also, last year DJ Wagner for Kentucky didn't start, and was a lottery pick IIRC.

He was no lottery pick. We're gonna face him on thanksgiving day...

 

[Knee brace]

I can’t believe Riley is only 14 years old

 

[AyoDos11]

Oh nevermind.
I guess I was thinking of someone else.
