The Illini are tall and deep and opponents are hating life when they look over and see Rez and Rley ready to sub in around the first commercial break. In fact it looked like Little Rock was on the verge of giving up in the first half.
The line-up of KJ, Bam, Tomi, Rez and Riley was effective and should work against higher level competition too.
yeah that was interesting seeing Morez and Ivisic playing at the same time. i liked it

I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but I believe Domask went through the same thing from 3 early in the year and then figured it out in January

You're correct- see the graph below that illustrates Domask's shooting percentages last year. The orange line is 5-game moving average for 2-pointers, the green is a 5-game moving average for 3-pointers, and the blue line is a 5-game moving average for overall shooting.

The overall average is overstated early in the season by some marquee booty ball performances (13-15 from 2 against FAU, 10-14 from 2 against Northwestern), but you can see that he shot the 3 poorly at the start of the season but trended up around 40% from 3 towards the end of the season. There were early stretches where he was averaging below 20% from 3 over 5 games prior to 12/31.

When was KJ's tech? Anyone know the time on the game clock?

No one stays for 4 years anymore. Those days are gone.
Strange statement considering the guy was referring to "if" it comes to fruition. Secondly, there are plenty of examples of 4th year guys around the country... just a coincidence we don't have any this year.

And it's pretty fair to say there's a strong connection in place with the state/university with him being from Chicago, committing so early, etc.

Fun Fact: I taught a class on AI last week (wore a Gritty jersey, long story). Got away with doing the background of the PowerPoint in blue and the text in orange, and a coworker who's a Michigan grad was in the class.

I took the liberty of putting the Free Press headline from the football game this year on the screen before class. Then during a convo about AI, I did manage to remind him that Juwan Howard has never beaten Illinois in basketball.

LOL I love my job.
I’ve been doing some work related AI training. Okay a lot of training. I still don’t understand what RAG is. Can you explain it like I’m a 10 year old. Extra points if you can put it into an analogy that I can understand. Thanks in advance.

LOL I have no idea what that is. Clearly I am a professional.

But it appears as if it integrates GAI (generative AI, like when you put in a prompt on ChatGPT and it gives you a letter/story/text/whatever) and RAI (retrieval AI, in which I *think* the AI obtains or farms/rakes for info?). It's therefore a more accurate and reliable form of GAI.

I don't trust GAI and have major reservations over its use, both as a legal professional and a creative. I have no idea if what I just said above about RAG is correct LMAO.

My, possibly flawed, understanding of RAG, written for a 10 year old:

What is the current score?
-> (RAG) Generates a query for the LLM adding known context, e.g. this user always means the Illini basketball game.
-> (RAG) Hey LLM what is the score of the IL game? The LLM returns the score of the game last month when it was trained.
-> (RAG) Context checker says "whoa", last months answer may not match "current" in this context. We should double check this.
-> (RAG) Issues a very carefully formulated search query (often guided by the LLM query language). It may ask Google. It may have specific sites for specific queries. (e.g. Ask espn for sports.)
-> (RAG) -> LLM you are full of !!!!. There is not an IL game going at the moment. (Updating of the LLM data.)
-> You being told the Illini are not currently playing.
