Are we gonna get to a point in the season where we aren't holding our breath during warmups wondering who's gonna be dressed? Cause this is kinda brutal.

Damonte scores 12, has 6 assists and 8 rebounds and helps Kofi and Plummer lead the Illini to victory, with lots of help from the 3 freshman!

We are going to be so much better as a team because we have to go through this...freshman getting minutes...basically everyone is....gems so far, BBV is going to be important to the rotation...Kofi is making fts at an improved rate...coaches and players are getting to see what each player can do.....It is lame that we will hopefully have our starting 5 healthy by Big10 start, but as BU said last year Bring It!

That’s one perspective. Another perspective is that it’s going to make us quite a bit worse over the next little bit, as our best players aren’t getting enough practice time, and they aren’t getting a chance to play together as a team and gel.

*Edit: but I’m still hoping for the best.

Big Ten start is our next game on 12/3. We won't be near full strength - even if they are all back, they will not be conditioned and in synch. If we want to be in the title picture both December games are games we need to win against lower half teams, too.

It's the same take, I just used shorthand for your last point , we agree. Nobody likes it.

Getting the sense that Trent would go out there wearing one of them full arm casts with the post to keep it at a 90 degree angle if he had to. With all of this context on injuries added in my takes about some guys have aged pretty poorly, it appears.
