And Ranse still couldn't make the shot when it mattered....

They looked different in December. Beat Rutgers at home and crushed NW in Evanston by 16 on New Year's Day. Since then: 1-14, including losing to MN at home. Just. Wow.
How much worse can it get for them? Without Key on him Dain should dine well in the low post but this one worries me for some reason.

At this point I tune in primarily to see what Geoff's wearing.

Smart a$$.Why do you think I posted it?! You've been a relative stranger this season. The GIF game on this board has gone to absolute he!! as a result (speaking of sin.)
There's nothing to forgive. God is an Illini fan. He'll be there, too.

Well played, sir. And one of my all-time favorite films, to boot.
Basketball is in one sense the fastest way to ACHIEVE immediate gratification. Lots and lots of scoring (unlike a game like 'futbol').
You either score a basket or you don’t. And when you score... you receive that immediate gratification and reward. You feel like you did something good and you stick your chest out a bit more (of course, you do everything in reverse when you miss the shot).
And the game itself. If you’re a good team you will win more often than you will lose. Again, immediate gratification for you as a player and the greater whole of the Team.
And then of course is the ultimate gratification when you hoist the National Championship trophy over your head. For the Illini, that one has been delayed.
But NOT denied.
Scoring and winning is the acknowledgment of self-worth in sports. Not in ‘real life’, of course. But within the lines of the game itself... that is what defines your worth as an athlete.
And you can get that as fast as you can try.
But he made the shot when it counted. Or did he?
In his defense he was clearly fouled before the final shot.
I’m sure it’s already been stated…but have we really played 2 games SINCE tOSU has played most recently?
Gotta really focus on the 2 point game. I see tired legs by the end of it.
Please someone correct me and tell me tOSU isn’t sitting on a week of rest and I simply overlooked a game during the week.

They played a close game with PSU on Thursday
What is the farthest the team use a bus for instead of flying? I understand flying to Columbus and other cities just curious what the length of drive warrants flying

I'd think anything outside of 3.5 - 4 hours, but that's just a guess. That would mean bus to UW, NU, IU, Iowa, and PU. Columbus is about 4.5 hours driving.
That is about right. I believe they fly to Madison when playing there.
Sensabaugh tries to play hero ball and pad his personal stats as he looks to be a lottery pick, scores 27 on 23 shot attempts. Game isn't as close as the score:
Illini 75
OSU 65
Illini 75
OSU 65
We bus to NW, Purdue and Indiana and fly everywhere else.
Saw some upsets, last second shots,and teams playing above their records. Get the win!

I am truly interested to hear Jay Wright's insight and comments about our beloved. I respected him as a coach and one of the classier guys in the game.
