This is the time of the year that there are a lot of players that are playing and are not 100%. Must be a lot of idiots out there.

I'm assuming you have never heard Cris Collinsworth?
Or Joe Morgan
Well, you're not wrongThis is the time of the year that there are a lot of players that are playing and are not 100%. Must be a lot of idiots out there.
There's playing through pain and there's playing injured. You can't not aggravate a serious ankle sprain on the court. I don't think he'll play tonight mostly because the schedule tightens up so much starting this weekend. Five consecutive days on Pt/rest from here on out = two missed games.Tacomallini

Old boxing used to be close to that. Just limited commentary and a bit to fill in-between the rounds. I'd like to hear more fan noise (canned or real) and sneaker squeaks on the hardwood during basketball games. Or having mics near the coaches - always quality entertainment.
Jon Sciambi. Horrible.
Walton, Collinsworth, Buck, Aikman, Nantz who is the worst, Sciambi and Bardo. These should never broadcast again

Am I the only one who hates the Bardo hate?
I don't get it myself.

Stephen Bardo is my favorite. There is no place in college basketball for Bill Walton.
I would like, in addition to the Illini victory, to see Adam Miller throw one down in transition tonight for my birthday. I think that's pretty reasonable, right?
Also, any ideas which road unis they are wearing tonight? Please let it not be the blues.

Would love to give this a go, especially in this no fan moment. Would be cool to hear all the court chatter and coaches for a full game (curses bleeped)

I think I heard some speculation the other day that he’s playing through an injury and that’s likely why he’s been less effective. Can anyone confirm or deny?I think starting off this game with energy and control is crucial. DW has defense, hustle, smart playmaking and just lots of high IQ stuff to get possessions. I will take that, versus spot up three point shooting, as more of an asset in the first 10 minutes tonight.
Oh, and DW is a pretty good 3 pt shooter i hear

I will see your THIS and raise you 2. Words cannot describe .....
According to a video someone posted yesterday of a recent practice, I'd say he may be in the doghouse a bit, but also think he just isn't ready for that type of game yet.
In the video BU says along the lines of "Hawkins isn't competing much today."

Officially the first person I've heard say this.

For IU injuries: Armaan dealing with an ankle and Trey Galloway is just returning to team activities maybe today? Might have a shorter than normal bench.
Edit: why do these pregame threads usually turn into “favorite/least favorite commentator and ref” ? Could we actually discuss the game?

The BBV/Hawkins storyline isn’t a thing. Hawkins will likely be the 8th or 9th guy in the rotation tonight.
Someone made the point earlier that if BBV has indeed jumped Hawkins in the rotation, then BBV must be really good, because I’ve loved what I’ve seen from Hawkins. It only makes us that much deeper.
Getting Adam on track with our designed back door alley-oop play from BUs first couple years would be a great way to open the game.

Yeah think i remember seeing posts about that also. Really hoping he's up to speed. No doubt he’s been a leader off the court, but his skill and leadership on the court could help the team sustain the momentum from the Iowa win.
