Wait, I know I recognize this from(obviously) one of our heartbreaking losses, but for the life of me I can't remember which exact one it's from. Help? Anybody?

The guy who plays in Tibet, Guatemala, Fiji, or Lesotho. Can’t really remember which one. ;)

The two girls immediately screaming “f^^^ you” at the screen always gets me.

Why are you continuing to frame this as a heated discussion? Calling me arrogant, saying I'm vehemently upset. I'm not, you're just wrong and I'm pointing it out and you can't handle it.

You can do the research too if you'd like, I made 100% sure every single one of the players was listed as a guard on the site I used (sports-reference.com)

I've mentioned the lack of team success, bad losses in which they didn't play well, etcetera. You refuse to even consider another POV, despite the vast amount of backing evidence presented throughout.

I'm done haggling over a statement you made over a week ago now that (1) wasn't true and (2) wasn't EVEN CLOSE to true.

Do you guys need to settle this in the Pizza Hut parking lot ? Lol

Meet college basketball's polarizing freshman class: First-year stars begin practicing with their new teams

This season's freshmen might not be as talented as the Class of 2025, but several players are already drawing attention

G Quentin Coleman, Illinois: Coleman is not expected to be an on-ball player at Illinois -- he's currently behind David Mirkovic, Stefan Vaaks and Andrej Stojakovic in the pecking order -- but Coleman is going to be an incredibly impactful role player. Coleman has no off switch. He plays hard relentlessly. Coleman is an excellent offensive rebounder, and he'll add some defensive disruption to an Illinois defense that usually doesn't create a ton of takeaways. He should be an extremely impactful cutter, slasher and spot-up shooter as well.

They're going to surprise this year with Hodgson. PC has $$ and support, and Hodgson is a really good coach. I don't see him long at PC, but I see him getting that program humming before he bolts. He runs Oats system, learned under him before he swung two mid majors around in 3 years total.

I think he becomes Kentucky's next coach, or Oats slides to UK and he takes the Bama job.

Oh yeah! Now I remember, thanks! Man, that was such a dirt bag move he pulled and it was SO painful when it happened! But after about 5-10 minutes went by, I remember thinking, "Well, if he's THAT type of kid, we probably dodged a bullet." We definitely dodged a bullet.

How the times have changed. Back then, we were so desperate and viewed him as a "program saver." Now, with the squads we've had the last several years, he wouldn't even be a bench rider. Screw him.

Also, I found a pic of him from a few years ago. He does NOT look happy! Couldn't have happened to a better scum bag.

Looks like a lot of twitter warriors mad we got Vaaks

It goes back to Epps’ transfer and coaches’ comments about Illinois being a b*** s*** program.

It actually made me laugh at the time. Just thinking he couldn’t be serious.

Go Illini

calling Illinois vs Providence is the impossible meat version of beef

Providence is in Spam (fake meat, not Internet garbage) territory with this “argument”.

They would be EASILY be in the bottom two or three of the Big Ten, and very likely in the cellar.

I believe the beef started recently with Vaaks saying he has no regrets leaving Providence.
