Well, there was a decade or so pre-Underwood where I felt like a Washington Generals fan.Pretty sure most people on here would critique the Globetrotters.

Well, their margin of victory would have been consistently greater had they run up-tempo and pushed the ball more. Lackadaisical play made those games much closer than necessary. Also, they were generally undisciplined. Way too much time spent on weaves far out on the perimeter that did nothing to generate open looks.Pretty sure most people on here would critique the Globetrotters.
Since I’m honest...Really happy I’m not the only person who saw it this way. I saw it for the first time like 10 minutes ago and didn’t walk away as disgusted as I thought i would based on what I read.
I was not impressed with the Globetrotters last time I saw them. More like Mapcrawlers with little panache and verve.Pretty sure most people on here would critique the Globetrotters.
If we win any sort of title, he'll be the Champayne.I can’t take any more payne, ‘paign, or pain at the moment. it’s all too much.
My favorite AG moment is his technical against Missouri. I think it’s okay to have one or two guys like that if you can keep them out of real trouble.I honestly don't like either. The foot stomp didn't feel as dangerous to me. I also found it to be less "heat of the moment" than AG. I was watching that game and he was getting chippier well before this. He also took one swing didn't connect as well and went back for the big shot on him, so he was searching it out to me.
Neither was good, and AG also is a guy who was tough to cheer for sometimes. I like a pest who may commit a dumb foul (DaMonte and Lucas Johnson types), not so much guys like this, Greyson Allen or the Teddy guy from Nebraska this year who are just releasing frustration in a dangerous way.
Sure, when the only other team in the conference has only won one game, that’s a weak SOS...Pretty sure most people on here would critique the Globetrotters.
I hope Lieb sticks around. Seems like a classic developmental guy that is just too thin at the moment. But, he's really tall and long and seems to understand the game pretty well (based on limited court time). A "Wisconsin guy" that we've always lamented not getting. IF he can put on muscle, he could be a great backup big down the road. Plus I think there's a lot of intangible value for having some guys that stick around, develop within the system, and help the new recruits/transfers learn the ropes quickly.Hamlin and possible BVD are moving on. Lieb? Not sure. Lets see if he can put muscle on in the offseason.
We've got like nine of those already.Payne is being recruited to be a backup 5.
Not for much longer.We've got like nine of those already.
I feel like Lieb is in for the long haul, loves Illinois, and values an education from B10 school.Hamlin and possible BVD are moving on. Lieb? Not sure. Lets see if he can put muscle on in the offseason.
Would hate for us to get Chet Holmgren, he's too skinny and too tall for us and the B10. Let Gonzaga have those scrawny sticksI hope Lieb sticks around.

But not many good ones.We've got like nine of those already.
Am a Tennessee alum (Illinois fan by birth). UF and UT is always a gritty game. Take the elbows with a grain of salt.On a potentially anecdotally positive note, my good friend is a huge Tennessee fan and he said Payne was extremely apologetic afterward and that he thinks it's all good.
I'm not defending the kid's actions, but I'm willing to give him a chance to prove himself before I judge him harshly.
And not many that can hit an in-game 10 foot jump shot.But not many good ones.
If Payne plays defense, rebounds....blocks some shots....I don’t care if his only shots are dunks. We need to be bigger and tougher down low.And not many that can hit an in-game 10 foot jump shot.
With TyTy and Payne's recruitment/transfer, can Underwood please stop the "I want character, not characters" narrative? C'mon now. Kids or not, there are hundreds that have not pulled the shenanigans these 2 have.Tyty's sucker punch in the handshake line ranks right up there!!
Hey, in the ranking he was in the middle of a Cockburn/Liddell sandwich. I am ready to give the guy a chance. I trust our staff.
I agree....but we need a FT genius instructor at some point.This coaching staff has shown the ability to develop players in a short amount of time. I trust Payne will show more with the Illini. Sometimes it is good to have a fresh start.
