But if our #6thman is relegated to #7thman, is our #8thman really good enough to become our #9thman? Most stressful offseason EVER!!!
I genuinely can't tell if they are trolling for engagement or simply guessing/spewing nonsense. They are frustratingly dumb. Is it a shtick

Lincoln first off the bench for Illinois?
Historic.
There’s a four score joke here but I’m not quite caffeinated enough today.
Wasn't that a product of outside of him our team didn't really have many blocks? The next was Hummer/Tomas tied at .6 a game..
Humrichous was at 3.3 and Tomi was at 2.6

They don’t watch college basketball. The guy added he only saw Illinois for two games last year - both the Wisconsin losses.

UConn will be playing Duke on a neutral court in Vegas a week before our game. That should settle the best team debate. My guess is they start the season ranked 2 and 4.

Hahaha yes! I literally just watched the last episode of Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, and it's this!
It's hilarious.
Well done.
Field of 68 bros definitely watch a ton of college hoops. It was Dauster talking about lack of PG play. They definitely like to stir the pot. I do think the ballhandling concerns are legitimate. PC was almost 300th in turnover rate last year. Was a nice balance this past year.I genuinely can't tell if they are trolling for engagement or simply guessing/spewing nonsense.

How could a guy named Lincoln not play for the state school?
This may be ringing hollow, but by us beating both, by how much may decide their rank!
.6 blocks a game, not block rate, but I was also mistaken on Blk% and didn't realize it was team stat agnostic (so not like ast %). Oops
Vaaks’s turnover rate was only 14.3%, so I don’t think your reasoning is accurate.
Wagler was 12.5% which is elite for a primary handler. But Vaaks wasn’t that much worse.
Bad turnover rate is Kasparas, 25.4%.

Haven’t had a chance to watch that show yet… but I love Larry and the show looks great.
The thing about the 2025 team is we were actually good at taking care of the ball OUTSIDE OF Kasparas:
Which is why our overall turnover rate wasn’t as bad as some previous seasons.
No problem! Sometimes you gotta take a win here and there.
Vaaks and Keaton are both good.
KJ's rate was a catastrophe. I don't think that's a reasonable benchmark for discussing any of our future guards.
Feel like he will bring a Trent Frazier type energy on defense and is crazy athletic. He will get a ton of playing time because his ability to defend and make winning plays.
People are way too focused on who is going to play point or what qualifies as a PG now haha People stuck in the early 2000's.
