We’re far more likely to see no 15 PPG scorers than 2. Going to be a veryyy balanced attack this year. I think TSJ/RJ will lead the way at ~13 PPG

I'd settle for 6 players in double digits in PPG and the same 6 doing 4 + RPG.........
One way or another it;s going to be fun to see a different style of play and maybe more fouls called on our opponents with many Illini attacking the rim......
The last 3 years of Kofi-ball meant no fouls called until blood or broken bones protruding out of the skin....Now we have numerous players with penetration skills and remember NO lil Bo pee pee covering the sidelines and as a result of him not reffing anymore we should see shorter games tomes without the 10 + reviews from tv Bo......................
The success of the FB team has tempered my lust for the BU locomotive , but I see the steam rising and CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I haven't had enough gummies to comprehend this comment, but is this a reference to Bo Boroski and not reffing anymore? Did I miss this news somewhere?
Bo retired back in June
Oh, well thanks for that welcome bit of news! I guess I did miss it!

TC with the scoop ..well done TC.......my meds have slowed my quick twitch posting style.......
We have multiple men who can go off on any night. Have any of you watched Matthew, Shannon? They are snipers. Rj is gonna be juking, above rim, floaters,and deep range. We have a ton of weapons. Gonna be a fun exciting year!

I would say we have a handful of kids who can get their own shot. While last year we really had 1 (RJ) who could get a shot off without s pass and his pt was limited.
Tough to be quick with those handcuffs on,,,,,,it really, really is
You think that Rodgers will play 25 minutes a game and Sincere 0????? You must be smoking something!!!
Even worse: Epps and Goode with zero minutes
Regular season starts in 1 frickin month.
That’s right, next time you see a day 7 in a month, Illini will be lacing up their game shoes — and putting first tally mark in win column. Gonna be fun. Gonna be crazy. Gonna be Illini Basketball 2022-23 version. I L L

That is not even 70 points a game. Goode will do better than 4, RJ will do better than 8. We will average well over 70 a game just because of the style and we will have more possessions. IU will not win the conference.
I'll take 14 wins as well. Because I don't think IU gets to 15.
Regarding the ppg projections- I haven't seen this opinion shared yet so I'll go ahead and say it (no matter how unpopular it will be), I think having RJ in the 8-10 ppg range is pretty accurate. He was extremely efficient with his opportunities last year and I don't expect that he'll maintain that level of efficiency once he gets put nearer the top of the scouting report. Love RJ and think he's a legit pro prospect but my expectations for him this year are closer to Jacob Grandison (solid everyday guy. Occasionally our best player) vs a K. Murray or J. Davis type.
I'm also skeptical that we'll have two dudes get 15ppg. I think we'll be much more equal opportunity than that.
O boy would I like to see that game or the Duke v Houston game
