Just another great presser from BU......I loved the description he gave about the Doc Domask just letting him find his own comfort zone instead of trying to force more out of him.......being a senior with plenty of game experience I figured he would get better as the season wore on , but he really expanded his presence on the court with that dominating 33 point performance against an above average FAU D..........
Also worthy of note is BU's confidence in Justin Harmon.........good description of the ball finds Harmon and I was glad to see JH hit a 3 and still driving to the rim........I hope we never resort to last year's team of little movement and jacking a 3 at the buzzer.....We have been an ELITE passing team this year regardless of the # of TO's.................
BU also praised cohawk with the late 3 and hitting his FT's...........BU knows the value of a confident cohawk and what he brings to the Illini.......I just wish some here on this board realized it also......we are a better team with cohawk's head into the game and his complaining whether you regard that as good or bad tells me he is into the flow of the action......Don't get me wrong , I sometimes wish he was less visible with his emotions , but that's just cohawk.......I accept him for who he is .....I really really do..

On one hand, I'm delighted, as those are the dopest of our dope togs.
On the other, I'm troubled by the poor feng shui this will create in the clash with Tennessee orange. Accordingly, I've now written off Friday afternoon and evening so I may locate a vintage early 1970s black-and-white TV set on which to watch the contest.
This is why it's so right!
It's strutting into the ball with that new outfit and you dgaf what anyone thinks!
I will jump on that. Tennessee lost to a tired Kansas squad by 9 and was manhandled by an average UNC team.
Have Tennessee as a tier below Marquette, Kansas and Illinois.

I see your point. None of those, however, were in Knoxville.
Why was Kansas tired? Because they played the day before? Tennessee played Purdue the day beforeā¦

My goodness, that's even worse... just close enough to be jarringly different.
BTW, I fully endorse the name of the Illinois orange at bottom.

Love the audacity of wearing the orange throwbacks in their house.
Tennessee will be the most physical team the Illini have played to date. I just hope we don't lose our poise and get blown out.
This is great stuff loyalty. I print for a living so this info is in my wheelhouse.
Line has moved to -6.5 Tennesseeā¦ Buncha suckers. Illini straight up
