Game Thread: Illinois vs Maryland

[Welchelracing21c]

+1 Gazillion


WE DO HAVE BIG10 and better talent; we simply don’t have the size and strength to compete with the P5 conferences. I’ve been referencing this in recruiting thread, and unless we can land one of very few left in spring, we are in trouble. Bless his heart, but Finke’s game is not in the paint, LeRon is a stud, but is 6’7; I believe we have to give Spicey more tick. Our 1 - 3 spots are very talented, albeit young. Simple fact is we are bringing water guns to a nuclear war with our size. Positionless basketball will not overcome our serious lack of size.

Depends on the Length talking about. Not Nick Smith length but length with weight

We could get away with it a bit more if we weren't turning the ball over. Maryland's length is killing us in the paint on both ends. Against smaller teams we are getting the could not against this size.

The refs know the f'd up. You could see it on their faces when Underwood was talking
