I was going to mention that. Are we sure he's not going to be in the league next year? He's got the athleticism and explosion, that's good sure.He's a sophomore with a few years to grow in his decisionmaking (if he's in college that long). He seems like an ideal candidate to replace TSJ if he does hit the portal.
He shot 40% from 3 last year but only 33% this year... but much better last few games. He is certainly very athleticAgreed 100%. If the staff thinks he’s coachable, he’ll be a monster next year and beyond
I know I'm a broken record on this, but I highly doubt Storr plays for the Illini next season.He's a sophomore with a few years to grow in his decisionmaking (if he's in college that long). He seems like an ideal candidate to replace TSJ if he does hit the portal.
Sophomore slump. Teams.know how to guard him better with a year of film.He shot 40% from 3 last year but only 33% this year... but much better last few games. He is certainly very athletic
They have been ok, tough one to officiate.I honestly feel the refs have been pretty decent today.
It sucks that I have ANOTHER birthday party for my kids, so I'm going to miss like the last 10 minutes of game time. Hopefully we do what we did yesterday and the game is well in hand by then, but I doubt it.
Some curious wording here...AJ gonna would look dang good in orange and blue
To be fair, I hope we do, too.Skip it. They'll have another one next year.
And AJ is a sophomore. TSJ is a 5th year. Imagine what AJ could be like in three more years...that's why I don't understand those that aren't interested in him joining the beloved.AJ is really really good.
Shannon is a cheat code.
I'll expect a Taylor pic at some point. I really, really will.Being a fan of college basketball and watching games for over 60 + years, I think TSJ is the fastest driver with the ball to the rim and contorting his body to get off a shot that I have ever witnessed........On his last drive to the rim I looked over at NL # 3 and made eye contact with her , both of our jaws were wide open saying WOW at the same time.........
TSJ is just lethal when he is in motion and his first step is at max speed .....how's he do that ???......wowsa , it really really is ........
one concern is the amount of missed FT's for the Illini today.....can't leave points on the floor......
OK , the second half is our time to percolate this game into a 10-15 point win and a BTT title.......

C'mon Illini ............Light our fire.............burn down them nets and lead us to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y..........................
Yeah, thats impressive production in the paint; for being so undersized at about 6 ft 2in.Underwood has played a great game so farView attachment 32316
He seems to be a bit of a chucker to me. Being coachable would be important.Agreed 100%. If the staff thinks he’s coachable, he’ll be a monster next year and beyond
I’d like it but we would be complaining that he isn’t assertive enough. We’re seeing aggressive AJ but a lot of times he is passive and let’s the game come to him. 15 ppg would be hard to pass on though.
Hope he shows us in the second half just how committed he is to us
He kinda has the green light for Wisconsin. They don’t have another playmaker like him on that team, so they just accept he’s going to try to get his….and it has worked out for themHe seems to be a bit of a chucker to me. Being coachable would be important.
