Jesus Lucas Johnson was everywhere!
Yeah, but watching Frankie gives me a basketball fanrection every time.

No it doesn't make him a punk. But it was a punk move. Everyone, especially young folks, deserves a 2nd chance on that. Do it again, and you've got real issues.One sport wears pounds of padding and a helmet as protection. The other is just you and some synthetic fibers between you and the opponent.
Yeah, it makes him a punk.
This is also a terrible comparison. Two totally different sports with different expectations around contact.

FIFYHome page says that Griffin apologized to the Purdue player. If true, and he had the proper attitude, that would be a good second step for him.
He better be relieved. The Boilers went on a little run after that brain cramp. I love that CBS article. I just read it and it is spot on. The difference in defensive scheme is very noticeable with this team.Griffin was right in the first row (next to Kofi) during the locker room celebration and was actively part of the team. He was probably also very relieved for the victory. I doubt there will be any suspension. If so, it would have been announced by now.
This was so much fun to watch. And the memory of being a confident Illini fan sure felt nice. A lot of good times. But man, could Lucas get the charge?!That made me go find this.
I think this season demonstrates that there was reason to question his system but not reason to question his coaching ability. Clearly his old system wasn't working and we questioned why he wasn't making changes, which would signal poor coaching. The thing is, he recognized exactly that and did make changes. That is good coaching.
So, in hindsight, posters were justified to question his system but (seemingly) not his coaching ability. There's still a lot left to be written here, of course.
Ayo's two 12 footers, after we had missed 3 times in a row, with about 3 minutes to play to was a key moment.I don’t know if it’s been said yet, but Ayo had more assists than Purdue as a whole.

He may miss shot early in the game but when crunch time comes around he is the guy that you want shooting the ball.Ayo's two 12 footers, after we had missed 3 times in a row, with about 3 minutes to play to was a key moment.

AG is so lucky that Kansas and KSU decided to one up him on the same night, or he might still be watching his dance step on Sports Center.That's a lot of speculation. It can easily be said the Underwood see that in him and that is why he is not starting. Either way it does not matter. You cannot act like that. Watch Felix and TF play. They are competitive and get into guys without being dirty. I am a huge AG fan but that stuff is just unacceptable.
I get what you're saying, but as to the future it matters not what he says but what he does."More mindful in the future" seems weak,
I would have felt better if he had said that it would never happen again.
He seems to play with a chip on his shoulder everynight. I would imagine he will continue to play with a lot of intensity. He’s had past incidents, so i think he’s acknowledging the boundaries between a shoulder bump like in the miami game and stepping on a player."More mindful in the future" seems weak,
I would have felt better if he had said that it would never happen again.
For sure man. We are definitely here on this board to vIRtUE SiGnAl for fake internet points and don’t actually think stepping on opposing players is not a good thing. 100%.
I go with "GB" but if he keeps hitting threes i will spell it all out.
Re Kofi and Ayo going into the draft: I seem to remember Deron Williams said he left Illinois for the draft because of financial pressures at home. He needed the money because his mom was ill and it would have been against NCAA rules for anyone to help financially. I seem to remember that he said if could do it all over again and his mother had not been sick, he would have stayed with Illinois for his senior year. That season with the Illini is something that can never be replaced.
I think he said something like that to Ayo.
Maybe I heard/remember incorrectly, but we can only hope that Ayo's unfinished business with the Fighting Illini includes two more seasons after this one. And Kofi too, of course. Hey, if you were a basketball player, are you going to say nope to Deron?

Could be wrong, but I’ll be surprised if the B10 doesn’t impose something.Griffin was right in the first row (next to Kofi) during the locker room celebration and was actively part of the team. He was probably also very relieved for the victory. I doubt there will be any suspension. If so, it would have been announced by now.
I'd be surprised for a first offense. But then again, as I think of it, nothing we do seems to go our way - so there's that. I personally think he paid a penalty of being out the rest of the game. BU might sit him 1/2 of the next and then its short leash from there on out. Heck, Giorgi, lays some pretty high elbows on opponents very often. Its not quite so obvious and not during a stopped clock - but if he were on another team - I probably would really hate him.Could be wrong, but I’ll be surprised if the B10 doesn’t impose something.
Kofi and The Closer!The Closer!
While it might have limited the scrutiny on ESPN, I wonder if given the nastiness of and reaction to the K-KSU if the B1G thinks it needs to send a message of its own.AG is so lucky that Kansas and KSU decided to one up him on the same night, or he might still be watching his dance step on Sports Center.
Tried to find that at halftime. Wonder why it wasn’t reviewed?Watching the replay - 2:44 left in the first half - when Feliz caught one in the ribs/sternum - cheap shot by Eastern. Totally on purpose leading the elbow. I know the guy is awkward to start with - but it was a clear lead with the elbow into Feliz.
