More like Felix than Ayo.He can really finish. We haven’t had a player like him in quite awhile. Ayo was good Epps may be better.

Battle?We really, really do …
However, outside of Garcia there’s not a single player on that team that could play for us …
Nah. Ayo made intensely contested layups all day long. Epps has been blocked quite a bit. Still, playing damn good BB.He can really finish. We haven’t had a player like him in quite awhile. Ayo was good Epps may be better.
Really think he will get some minutes against Edey. He is aggressive and not weak.Would rather give those minutes to a kid like Lieb honestly … People clown on that kid but all he does is take care of business off the court, show up to practice and give it everything’s he’s got …
Kid is living his dream … Illinois Basketball … Pretty cool to see
In 2023 where every kid is entitled and thinks they’re going to the league … it’s nice to see a kid who stuck it out when he knows he ain’t gonna play and get rewarded with 10-15 minutes tonight
To be clear, I wasn’t clownin’ on Lieb. Glad he got to play today and he did so well.Would rather give those minutes to a kid like Lieb honestly … People clown on that kid but all he does is take care of business off the court, show up to practice and give it everything’s he’s got …

They unfortunately never really won that much. Just their senior yr.Brandon Paul and DJ Richardson is probably the last one.
No. I think she’s fineSorry about being off topic:
But, do you think that kid required much medical attention after that?
Take it easy now.He can really finish. We haven’t had a player like him in quite awhile. Ayo was good Epps may be better.
Maybe. Good player.Battle?
Could it be that the S. Clark thing was a blessing in disguise?Mayer’s turnaround has been unreal. I thought he was a culture cancer 2-3 weeks ago and now he looks like the team leader.

I was clownin on Garcia though. I don’t know where he’d play for us unless it was the same role Lieb has.
To be fair, as fans the data points we were working from were:It is?
Addition by subtractionThat is really really interesting. A little hard to believe honestly. Makes me wonder what in the hell was going on behind closed doors then. Really glad we've put it behind us to move forward as a team obviously, but disturbing how quick it hit everyone.
Feliz?More like Felix than Ayo.
Probably not, kids are pretty bendy.Sorry about being off topic:
But, do you think that kid required much medical attention after that?
To be fair, as fans the data points we were working from were:
1. Matt’s presser where he essentially said there were locker room issues (‘not on the same page’)
2. Rumors of Matt getting in a tussle pre Mizzou game
3. Rumors of Matt not being a fan of Brads hard nosed practice style.
Key words here being rumor. I’m happy things have turned around. Would be interested in understanding what really was happening behind the scenes during that challenging stretch.
1000 points for Neil Bresnahan reference. Guess that makes me old.Could it be that the S. Clark thing was a blessing in disguise?
Sencire gets more minutes and Ty Rogers too. I'm liking him more and more.
Ty reminds me of Lucas Johnson or if you're old like me Niel Bresnahan.
Like that type of player
Felix was a magician with his uncanny ability to score among the trees within 8 ft. If Epps can become really, really consistent with that banked runner, he could be in the same stratosphere as Felix, but with an elite shot from the arc...a lethal and almost unstoppable combination.More like Felix than Ayo.
I think to assume that he was likely at least PART of the problem…was a fair read based on the limited information we were privy to at the time.Mayer’s turnaround has been unreal. I thought he was a culture cancer 2-3 weeks ago and now he looks like the team leader.
RJ is the most perplexing thing of the entire season for me. BU says he virtually never misses in practice, and we were all expecting a lot from him this season based on how well he played last season, media included. And don't get me wrong...I think he's playing really well other than his shooting. It just has to be a confidence issue at this point. I want so badly for him to get two or three shots in a row to go down. Once that happens and he becomes the legit offensive threat we all know he can be, our team will be significantly better. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's the Indiana game!1. Good to see this bunch aggressively using their strengths and having fun.
2. The most impressive and satisfying aspect of this game was seeing RJ playing loose and being aggressive in finishing at the rim. Kid has skills he doesn't even know he has that are a huge weapon for this team.
3. Mayer gaining confidence as his impact grows seemingly every night is a huge factor in raising the ceiling of what this team can accomplish.
4. Ty played a ton of important minutes. If he can match his pt. total with rebounds, he will be another big weapon when really needed. But someone please teach him to get the ball and his eyes quiet before the lift on his FT technique. The lift also needs to go up on an arc and not forward on a line. Yet other than that, the package he brings is pretty complete for a frosh.
5. Epps continues to amaze...almost as much as Harris.
