. Werner asked him what he thought about sencire and he said "nothing, i'm worried about UCLA, you're asking me about a kid that played 9 minutes and had 4 points". yes and he completely destroyed your team in those 9 minutes
I donāt know bro. Seems like the defense turned this game around and that was lead by Harris and Hawkins. They stopped the ātwo man gameā I was so sick of hearing about. Love Dainjaās offense though. We needed what everyone brought in this one. BU seems to know what he is doing.

Late December '97. Their arrogant fans were dismissing us like we were Little sisters of the poor U, until Turner shut them up at the end.
Wait! Who let the dogs out?

Change that to Anderson and people might believe you.
These guys eat nails by the bushel.
Also, Iām too lazy to look it up but I think Dain has already drawn three lane violations this year and made the second chance each time.

Reading a bit on a UCLA forum, their fans kept talking about how their players were gassed, that conditioning was clearly in Illinois favor. Hats off to Mr Adam Fletcher. Also, it is amusing how some posters were saying that 3-1 in our next 4 games is the best we could do, and that a split ( or even 1-3) would be ok, that UCLA had a more talented roster. This team is good, and I'm going into every game thinking we will win. What a difference a few years and a great coach makes. That was fun.
Imagine him getting a whole year with Fletch? Watch out!! Go Illini!!

You are a poet.
I never knew Jerry Lewis played college basketball. Is Dean on the bench?
MM just seemed like a very likable guy and great teammate.
Iāve been wondering when Iād see the first āstart Hawkinsā post. At 35 minutes, only Shannon (38) had more minutes tonight than Hawk. Dainja had 18 minutes, so they are playing at the same time quite a bit. Hawk had some problems today, but he did some good things ā especially on D. And I think he assisted on at least 3 (2 for sure) of Dainās baskets.
I love what Dain brings to the table and how he has been playing, but Hawk is the key to the pressure. Dain canāt do that. Should Dain get more minutes? Probably at least a few. But Iām not sure at this point if Dainās sweet spot minute-wise isnāt 20-25 minutes. As frustrating as Hawkās play was at times tonight, there is a reason he played 35. But sure, by all means change the starting lineup after beating the #9 team.
I'll allow it. He was giving UCLA credit for playing well against one of the top four or five teams in the country.
LOL. I think someone hacked your account earlier in the week cuz sure sounds like youāre one of those āamusing posters.ā In a post from your account earlier in the week:
āI also think we have a very good shot at winning at least 2 of the next 4, and a decent shot at 3 wins.ā

My favorite was the roundish bruins fan in the middle of a sea of orange wearing a face mask looking sad.
Let's see it!
