Pregame: Illinois at Indiana, Saturday, February 5th, 11:00am CT, ESPN

Hoosiers are not known for their intelligence.
My friend's 17 y.o. has never had a job, even a part-time one, and lectures me about how to run the government and society. Different times
Indiana is good
Kenpom has them (24) ahead of Wiscy (28)
They're 13-1 at home with wins over Purdue and OSU
No one has them favored for it, but 2 games back is still very much in the hunt for the BT championship.
They doubled him basically the entire game, didn’t they? Like every other team we’ve played with Kofi
Our team 3pt shooting percentage has taken a dive these past few weeks. Would be great to get back on track where we hit 10-12 at a good clip. Think we will need something close to that to pull off a tough on the road.

I believe the correct wording SHOULD have been " TRY to take away from him""
Overrated talk from an Overrated player..........yawn.....................
Yes, growing up on the border with all of my TV coming out of Terra Haute, I had the stinking Hoosiers cramed down my throat, gawd I hate them. Please Please Please beat IU on Sat!!!

For Woodson , who played at loosierville and played and coached in the NBA and now is the head coach at Loosierville to call us Illinonoise 3-4 times is mind blowing .....I am sooooooooooooo glad we have a coach like BU , who knows how to correctly pronounce the name of an opponent .................
I take back what i said in an earlier post about watching The Journey show and thinking the loosiers made an upgrade with Woodson........

It was TJD. Nothing disrespectful, just reminding his teammates after a win that it’s back to the business of preparing for the next opponent on the schedule. Fonso using it to stoke the competitive fire, as in, “You want us? OK, here we come…”

Pretty low bar, after all…
I would trade all my Cubbies players cards away. Still have my card collection and not one Cub in the bunch. Lots of Nolan Ryan though.
| Wins | Points | FG% | FT% | Rebounds | Blocks | |
| Cockburn | 3 | 15.3 | 52% | 75% | 10 | 3.3 |
| TJD | 0 | 14 | 35% | 74% | 11.3 | 2.3 |
Agree, Race has been playing well this season in the games I've watched. Also agree that giving BBV at least a look vs Race is not a terrible idea. BBV has the strength to match up, just dont know if he can stay in front of him.
Yeah, I agree TJD and Race give them a nice 1-2 punch. Wish we could have that offensive rebounder in Race. Concerned about the short turn around time. And how the refs call the game.

what a bunch of typical loosier jamokes on this podcast. pronouncing kofis name cok-burn? hating on UI fans for how they and Chester treated IDKWTI in 2008. also the host that doesn't know how to say kofi's name is a big CP3 fan for some reason and is mad Deron got more attention than CP3 even though we were a much better team, which is how it usually works. again, no one ever said Hoosiers were smart

And Kofi didn't even notice. LOL

Interesting that AC isn't even an afterthought for Woodson or TJD in these interviews.
Every team plays 20. Unless games are postponed and not made up. Iowa at OSU was just postponed yesterday due to ice and snow storm. You can check Big Ten Men's Basketball site and click on each team to see who they have played, if any games were postponed, if any games were rescheduled, and what games remain.
Noticed that too. However, AC will unlikely get more than 15 minutes of play. Ofc, only Brad knows for sure the plan or can change that as needed.

Is true. Also Grandison lethal mostly from straight on beyond top of key. The thing I love about Grandison is the ball exchange back and forth between he and Kofi from there when he's hitting his 3's.

Belo, if he’s healthy enough to play meaningful minutes, may be the ‘X-factor’ in this game, considering how aggressively Indiana likes to play the perimeter. He has the smarts and dribbling chops to make them pay for overplaying passing lanes.
I’m having sweet daydreams of him breaking down their defense, then smoothly hitting an open three-point shooter, a cutter to the basket, or Kofi on a lob. Or, using his knack for finding the open spot for a short-range jumper for himself - or an open lane for a layup. Wow, as I type this, I’m getting more and more hyped for this game!
After every game Trayce has been writing the name of the next opponent on a white board for his teammates to see as they walk into the locker room. It's his way of reminding them to focus on the game that will be at hand instead of self congratulating.
I'm fairly certain that a team as successful as Illinois has been this year is not especially concerned with an opposing player reminding his teammates who the next game is against, or the opposing coach pronouncing a silent consonant.
Peace
