I wanna dislike TJD. I really really do. But unfortunately, he continues to show he’s a pretty good dude

You really nailed it.Yes and probably more, the problem is you can't download experience in the system into transfers, or familiarity with your team.
I think that is part of why parity seems to be at an all time high this year. I don't think there is a single team you just say wow, they're going to be tough to beat. You get these talented guys to transfer, but when you're thinking about what you're supposed to do, you won't be at your best. When you're not able to read your teammates and know what they're going to do, you won't be at your best.
So if you have an experienced team, you can fit a transfer in, especially if they bring a skillset you're lacking. But, I think if you're expecting new guys to lead your team, it is going to cause issues. We clearly saw massive chemistry issues at one point in our season. We've seen guys not be on the same page and not running the offense. In close games, it only takes a play or 2 lost to go from a W to an L.
If we get more transfers next year, which we surely will. I hope they are not all Srs so they can grow in the program.
Just focus on the uniform. The hate comes easy.I wanna dislike TJD. I really really do. But unfortunately, he continues to show he’s a pretty good dude
It seems their new coach has lit a fire under him. He is playing with much more effort this year.I wanna dislike TJD. I really really do. But unfortunately, he continues to show he’s a pretty good dude
Also, after watching the slow motion replay of said play, TJD fouled Hawkins twice and the refs chose not to call either one.SportsCenter highlighted the Coleman T on social and it's nice to see that the objective sports world a) thought the dunk was nasty b) thought the refs missed the and 1 and c) thought the T was a complete joke.
You should watch coach's presser.Beating Minnesota is not going to make anyone feel better. This team is heading straight towards 1 and done in the Big Ten Tourney and a double digit seed for the big dance.
Apologies, got distracted when typing the sentence you were quoting, and it makes sense you took it that way. You are absolutely correct. I meant it as time to regroup and beat teams like Minnesota etcWe were +6 on the road against the 2nd best team in the B1G without our leading scorer. I would hardly call this a game where we should’ve “taken care if business against a team we should beat”

This game is a tale of two halves,we looked like world beaters in in the first half and not so much in the second half.At think we’re 6-6 from the line in the first half but missed bunch of free throws in the second.The Illini didn't hit a 3 point shot (0-8) in the second half.
Exhibit A.....terrible T call on cohawk for NOTHING...Shooting lost us another game. Gallant effort by the guys, credit to them for that, but we missed wide open threes in the second half and a critical free throw. B10 refs are an embarrassment to the game. They gave IU 7 points in the first half with the bogus T on CH, missed a call and IU hit a 3 immediately after (don't recall exactly what it was but noted it at the time), and counted the last second first half shot that should not have counted (not completely sure on this one as I haven't gone back to watch the replay). Disappointing, hope we are rewarded in the tournament. We more than deserve it.
Haha! Along the lines of what Hummel said, if we're an 11, the 6 seed is going to be screaming to high heaven about how they got shafted having to play us in the first round.You think we're going to be a 6 seed? We're more likely to be the 11.
felt the same way about Garza. wanted to dislike him but seemed like a humble class act every time I saw him interviewedI wanna dislike TJD. I really really do. But unfortunately, he continues to show he’s a pretty good dude
Quadruple really! I’m more than a bit worried about your stress levels. Please get plenty of rest and NLsExhibit A.....terrible T call on cohawk for NOTHING...
Exhibit B.....missed call on ball clearly going off Galloways leg in 1st half.....l
Exhibit C.....race Thompson clearly hacked cohawk on the arm and pushed him down which gave tjd an easy bucket at the end of the first half.......
That's just the 1st half and gave the loosiers at least 7 free points.....
Great game by the Illini ,especially with TSJ not available
Poor game by inept B$G refs once again...
It really really really really was.....
4 games in 9 days.
0-1 now , where will the Illini be at the end of this stretch of games.....
LETS GO ILLINI !!!!!!
He's a baller for sure. Can't hate him really, just a really good player. I liked it more when we had Kofi against him though.
3 point swing right thereSportsCenter highlighted the Coleman T on social and it's nice to see that the objective sports world a) thought the dunk was nasty b) thought the refs missed the and 1 and c) thought the T was a complete joke.
Thanks bro for the concerns.....I took my meds and had a romp in the hay with NL # 3 and then a nap.Quadruple really! I’m more than a bit worried about your stress levels. Please get plenty of rest and NLs
