There was a reason they had 30 more shot attempts than LaLu.

I saw both games so far of LaLu this tourey. about the only team that rebounds worse than LaLu would probably be Illinois.

Seriously LaLu in both games have looked horrendous on the offensive and defensive glass.

If this is how bad they've been on the glass this year, frankly i'm shocked that they have won 27 games and only lost 3. Because LaLu plays a national schedule.

At least you can't blame the Illini targets, ICL and Tyger, for the rebounding woes! Oh... wait... :(

The teams that they've played at this tournament are on a completely different level than most of the teams that they've played before. They're in the final of this tourney, after beating two top 10 teams in the country.. Just remember that. Keep in mind how tired our players are when they play a couple of games against top teams almost back to back and think about how 16 and 17 years olds without elite strength and conditioning resources should fair in those similar conditions.

Good perspective. Easy to forget this type of stuff.

Took forever for Tilmon to get anyone out to help him. He was screaming in pain and the coach just saunters over taking his sweet time. No medical personnel at all. Felt bad for him.

Of course this would happen...

I'm no expert, but I believe they should reposition it into the socket as soon as possible before too much swelling occurs. Can anybody watching the game confirm if/when they do that. Otherwise he may need surgery?? Again, I'm no expert.

He's in the locker room being looked at. They have not given an update and nothing on Twitter yet.

Actually looked more like his elbow when he was leaving the floor. Either way - lots of pain. Hoping it's something small but not optimistic.

They just gave an update with not much information. Sounds like Tilmon is done for the day which isn't surprising.

They did say shoulder and not elbow.

Tyger Campbell looks like he's REALLY going to be special.

Lewis appears to be much more talented. Every time I have seen Negron, he gets very little done. He is good. Lewis appears to be really good.

We have plenty of room to take Lewis and a power forward if we really want to. I would actually prefer Lewis and then a true power forward rather than Negron. Negron is definitely a four but an undersized one in the BT. I would rather have a 6-9, 250 type.

I also think that Kipper Nichols is that undersized four that Negron would be.

I've see Negron many times and most often he gets a lot done. On defense, rebounding and shot blocking. His offense is a work in progress but he's a very hard worker and very athletic. I don't know if he's big enough to be a power forward in the BIG 10 though. I don't know anything about NIchols' game to compare the two as players.

pretty good effort without T in the middle. They are really looking to seal the deal
