Barkley hasn't seen illinois play a game all year I'd almost gurantee it. I don't like these NBA guys covering the tourney. Its so obvious to me they are just making it up as they go most the time. They don't watch college basketball. Now I respect Kellogg, he takes it seriously.Kellogg and Barkley taking Chattanooga - basically jumping on the double digit theme from yesterday
Always thought Barks a-lot-to be a fool.Barkley hasn't seen illinois play a game all year I'd almost gurantee it. I don't like these NBA guys covering the tourney.

They are one of the worst 2 pt D’s in the country. We need ball screens and drivers. Hawk can have a field day. Also, Melendez and Belo will be able to get to the rim. If we finish at the rim, we will win by 20.Watching the Chattanooga v Furman game highlights from their conference championship. Big thing that stands out defensively is that Furman repeatedly got the ball in to the short corner and sent a cutter from opposite elbow. Chattanooga gave up at least four baskets in the first five minutes off of this situation. Getting Kofi the ball in that position should open the lane for attacking slashers. Also, Furman had to double SD in the post, leaving Chattanooga guards open, which we will not.
As always, spacing will be important. Chattanooga will change coverage on side ball screen defense and occasionally trap and deny immediately after the screen (see around the 13:00 min mark).
Westwood 1 has exclusive radio rights. You just have to find a station who syndicates WW1Radio: Appears there may not be a free online stream available of Illini radio during the NCAA Tournament.
Or try tunein.com or the TuneIn app, you need an account not sure if it's pay or not.
Agreed, I absolutely hate that they have guys who don't watch the sport covering it. There's an army of studio dorks who are at least decent and follow the game that they could bring in instead.Barkley hasn't seen illinois play a game all year I'd almost gurantee it.

Barkley has no clue. I have Big winning all games today. So far, so good.Barkley hasn't seen illinois play a game all year I'd almost gurantee it. I don't like these NBA guys covering the tourney.

“Hair down. Hair on fire.”
I don't care who picks what. I guess I was more talking about their knowledge level. It bothers me more when they do analyisis and you can tell they have never heard of the player they are talking about before 5 minutes ago.,They're fine. Harmless. We follow this stuff all the time, they're trying to lend overall expertise to a tournament they only know on the periphery.
It's OK for pundits to pick against us. Just take care of our business, and the accolades will come.
I dislike this. All season long we get the home coverage and when the season hits its zenith, we get a WW1 team that only knows generic storylines and not the real team. Money rules it all.Westwood 1 has exclusive radio rights. You just have to find a station who syndicates WW1
I like the way Jim Nance covers games. He talks about the game in front of him and not what his grandmother made for Thanksgiving dinner last year or not the constant focus on one coach or another and not the constant search for the saddest, most maudlin story of pathos about some player or his mother or his grade school teacher. Nance seems to cover the game at hand, does it well and even leaves some air time without constantly, relentlessly talking. His coverage seems to actually appreciate basketball. I also like Robbie Hummel and Trent Meacham and wish they had a more national place in b'ball coverage. At least we don't have to hear Dacitch (sp) this year. Dreading future years when we have to hear retired "saint coach K" all the time. The mute button on the remote is a handy thing.Agreed, I absolutely hate that they have guys who don't watch the sport covering it.

He is a part of this team...I think it's awesome that he is included in the teams success! May even get in the game./sHoly Hutch sighting Batman
Welp ... turns out that from 2011 to 2019, top 5 seeds actually had a better record in the First Round on Thursdays (.854) than on Fridays (.786) ... lol.Someone do some research. Are there more upsets on Thursday than Friday? Seeing an upset of a high seed is good motivation to not take anyone lightly. So go ahead and get on that, I'm going to go drink.
