Some people love living on the ledge. When we win the National Championship they're going to be looking over the ledge imagining life without Kofi while the rest of us are celebrating.
The loosiers made a big upgrade by letting Miller go and getting Woodson , but as i have consistently posted , TJD is the most overrated player in college BB now....If he got paid for every shot he has missed from 10 feet in , he would be a rich man now .....his selection for the list of top defender's is the biggest joke of a decision in college BB awards that I have ever seen ........I'm a lot more worried about Race Thompson than TJD.......Kofi will take care of TJD , but who do we have to stop Thompson .....he could have the effect that Wahl had in the first half last night .......
MSU and PU both need to reschedule their home game with UMich.
That's a nice write up. Are any Illini writers doing this? Or they all behind paywalls?
I don't think additional snow is the issue. It's the continued well below freezing temps and wind that will just cause a consistent issue. Not ice, so I don't think salt would help. The dry snow (because of the cold) will continue to blow around as long as the wind blows and the temps stay low. That seems to mean that the roads will continually have drifts where drifts want to lie. Unless you are running a lot trucks all the dang time, or you have snow fences up all over the place, roads will continue to be bad. These are my thoughts based on my 36 years in Central Illinois.
I too lived in Indiana for a time. My first game I attended in person was actually the 2nd round game vs ND in 03. I went to the open practice the day before the game and was interviewed by someone from the Gazette. The next day there was an article in the paper that quoted me talking about how the game will be important bragging right between me and my Hoosier classmates.oh tell me about it. having lived in Indiana for a bit I couldn't stand that delusional loosier fanbase. Purdue fans are spot on when they refer to IU fans as "reversible jacket" wearing fans (because during the fall they are rooting for Notredame football and then turn their attention to IU basketball when football season ends. Rinse & repeat every year) and of course the vast majority of them never even went to either one of those colleges (or any college for that matter haha)
I sincerely hope we go into their place and Kofi & company put the fear of GOD in their team to the point that it makes the entire Loosier roster pee in their goofy candy cane pants.
GO ILLINI!
So Frazier's strongest area for 3s is Plummer's weakest. Not surprising.
Not sure why so many here think TJD is overrated… He’s averaging 18 a game on 60% shooting, 8.5 RB and 2.7 BLKs. He’s the kind of quick, agile, bouncy athlete Kofi sometimes struggles to guard. Race gives them a nice 1-2 punch. The real “trap” of this game could be how it’s called vis-a-vis Kofi’s fouls/playing time. If the teams are allowed to play as they were in the WI game, I love our chances.
Considering that in their 3 matchups so far, Kofi has dominated TJD, I guess I just am not very worried that TJD might be the bouncy athlete Kofi struggles to guard.
Good post bro......................my opinion of TJD is based on the results I see when watching one of the loosiers games ........As everyone should know , stats sometimes can be a little misleading ........His PPG average importance is and has been inflated somewhat as a result of scoring late in games already decided , kinda like in baseball where a player gets 2-3 hits late in a 12-2 blowout where those hits had nothing to do with the outcome.....
Well, sir, I hope Saturday goes exactly like the other IN games you‘ve seen.
Inside the Hall is a solid site. I read that write-up this morning and it struck me that, in their analysis of the Illini players, at no point do they mention our defensive prowess.
I listened last night. Google wdws. I believe the news gazzette web page has wdws listen live. No app needed
Awesome - thanks! I just tried it out, and it stayed up in the background with Waze running over the top of it.
In my mind…It seems like Trent’s pretty lethal from the deep corners too. But maybe the #s show something else?
