Love my guy, AI, but there's a reason he never won a championship. When you listen to BU talk this season, he keeps mentioning how well practice is going and that so many guys have been putting in massive effort. Contrast that to last year, where he consistently complained about practice, said guys weren't focusing, and that they couldn't implement what they wanted because they needed to spend so much time on the basics. Brad knows you practice how you play. He saw last year coming while we were bamboozled by the talent. Between his comments about practice and his demeanor on the sidelines, he knows he has a group of veteran dogs that have shown they can do it a million times in practice and can get the job done under the lights.

I was at this game, wanted to leave at the half, but my friend convinced me to stay because "it's going to get better".....It's worse than you remember.

LOL wasn't sure if that was intentional or not. Fixed it back.
Not to add to the paranoia / inferiority complex many of us have, but I do note that only three of the four schools are tagged here.I like Parrish and Norlander best on the "national" podcast stage.
They handled this better than others looking back on last night.

Boo Buie. Ask him.
Meh. He's averaging fewer than 22 minutes per game anyway.
I remember this as well. It’s when we knew the Weber era needed to end.

That 90% FT rate is so important

Add the constraint that it had to be two over 30 pts against a RANKED team and the answer is probably never
LOL... I know...
Even if we change this to use Grandison instead of Ayo as the example being made, I think you could easily argue FAU has better without Boyd. With him in the lineup, they are 2-1 with wins over Loyola Chi and Eastern Michigan and lost to... wait for it... Bryant University. With him out of the lineup, they are 5-1 with wins over Butler, Virginia Tech, #12 Texas A&M, Liberty and Charleston and the one loss to #20 Illinois. His shooting percentages are terrible and they've played much better without him. The guy that replaced him in the starting lineup (Martin) has averaged 17 points per game in those 6 games without Boyd.

Often, when CoHawk does something boneheaded, it's conspicuous; when he makes stellar plays, they're subtle. What he did on Vlad last evening was a quiet masterpiece.
All I will say about Coleman Hawkins is I would like to see him get called for a foul and for ONCE not complain to a ref, and believe me I'm not the only who thinks this

It's who he is and it likely won't change. As Nietzsche noted: "Be careful, lest in casting out your demon you exorcise the best thing in you." I've grown to understand the wisdom in that maxim over the years.
I'll miss the guy when he's gone (CoHawk, not Nietzsche
)and we didn't resort to trying to stall the game away in the last four minutes.
You can’t make Shannon give it up when he’s beating you off picks or down the floor and finishing through contact. They try but he’s too big and strong. Plus you can’t double team 2 guys at the same time. Left with 1 guy guarding 3. Our other guys can make shots if wide open and can also finish at the rim if there are double teams elsewhere.
Bingo! you could do that last year. Not this year, especially with two guys demanding a double or triple team. Last year you could double Shannon and we didn't have much to make the opponent pay. This year we have Goode and Harmon to knock down threes if you double Domask or Shannon, but you also have better cutting from guys like Shannon if you double Domask and vice versa, or Guerrier and Rodgers cutting. We present other defenses problems in a lot of different ways. I like that we can be the team that moves the ball tremendously see (Rutgers) or can take advantage of matchups (see FAU). But most of all, I like that we play like a TEAM and seem to care about one another! And we're deep! Going to be a fun year!
Always my first thought when someone brings it up.
I was helping my brother move. Last thing still functional in his old apartment was the tv.
I was jumping up and down on a mattress in the middle of the living room when it went to OT.
In general I agree with this. There are several areas where I see room for significant growth/improvement for Illinois. However, FAU's ceiling goes way up just if Goldin is able to play for 30 minutes a game. Very impressed with skills he showed tonight.
Like the Harmon drive that drew an important foul.
