Illinois at Texas Tech, Tuesday, November 10th, 7:00pm CT, Peacock

#53      
Tech has lost 1 non con game in like 100 tries, is that right? Also saw the current coach hasn't lost a non game at home at all. Not sure if they've played anybody decent.

His form looks more compact and repeatable from the limited attempts we've seen so far.
His shot definitely looks different than what it was last year. That and his passing has dramatically gotten better. Probably some of the laundry list he got back from the NBA draft camp.

top five team and we still have 9 games left that are untelevised

when are they gonna give us some respect?
Unfortunately, in a way, Peacock games are respect. Fox, CBS, and NBC do a games draft where they pick what games they want. The biggest of games go to Fox and CBS, so Peacock fills in most of their lineup (outside of the 2 required appearances per team) with the popular teams that draw the most

.....

4) they will look to shoot 3s. Last year, they were 4th in the country in 3pt percentage, and 29th in 3pt attempt rate.

Williams: 40.4% from 3
Atwell: 45.8% from 3 (on 8.4 attempts, which is crazy)
Cruz Davis: 40.0% from 3
DGL: 41.4% from 3

You just have to hope they aren’t firing on all cylinders, because if they aren’t making 3s, Illinois chances go up dramatically.

It looked like we went under a lot on screens in the first two games. If we do that against TT, it could be a long night. I wonder what Crocker has prepared for this.

This is the kind of hard hitting investigative journalism that solves Loyalty hot take crimes.

Can you elaborate?

The schedule I've seen indicates all the games are televised.
Old guys don't think Peacock games count as being televised, despite likely being more accessible to most people than games on BTN (and also being literally televised on NBCSN in Illinois and the surrounding area).

The only game not "televised" is the 11/13 Sam Houston game. This is dumb and I hate BTN+, but i'll give him that one.

On the basketball shoes sidebar (assuming basketball shoes sidebar is fine given history of cottage cheese discussions):

Anyone remember Reebok Pumps? Those were all the rage in 8th grade. I begged and begged for a pair and one of them stopped working after like 4 days. o_O
