I thinkDidnāt Washington have a really really good guard?
I believe Bigguns was right. The guy Iām remembering is Brandon Roy. Kind of a big guard who always seemed to be in control and playing at a different level. Another player that broke my heart was Georgia Tech guard Mark Price in 1985. Totally different player than Roy but still managed to ruin Spring for me. Iād never heard of him but damn he could shoot it. Guessing Kentucky fans must be feeling the same way about that Gohlke guy from Oakland.Justin Dentmon
If I had a daughter, I'd want her to marry Marcus Domask so I would be able to work with him on his jumpshot. I've learned a thing or two on the backyard rim that I think could elevate his game.
If I remember correctly, there were some questionable calls that swung the momentum towards Washington. I may have a foggy memory on this though.That was the game they shot 30+ free throws and we shot 12 I believe.
Oh, it was a questionable game to say the very least. Shook my head a lot that night, stumbled back to hotel and a fog then came about.If I remember correctly, there were some questionable calls that swung the momentum towards Washington. I may have a foggy memory on this though.
Roy was a legitimate superstar in the NBA until his knees fell apart.I think

So Brad needs to know they go to Pizza Hut...Fun fact that also dates me: the Flyin Illini played Duquesne and their coaches came into the Pizza Hut on Neil St after the game and sat one table over from me and my family while I got a star for my book-it pin.
I feel like they want to try and punk the Illini! Punch us in the mouth so to speak, but I feel confident they donāt know what they are in for.So Brad needs to know they go to Pizza Hut...
that should get adrenaline flowing And our fighting spirit up, right..?
Yep. And I heard that they were going to need to change the name of their town to Duqaign.Been told by a reliable source that the loser of our game tomorrow night will be forced to surrender its silent S to the tournament committee. Apologies if this was reported earlier.
Get up in our face defensively, extra banging, hard fouls, slamming into the lane with the dribble drive. Yelling in our face when they score with mean mugs and pushing us around saying we are softie.Serious question: What does the term āto punkā mean in basketball? Is it as simple as āto play defense aggressively?ā

Their town is Pittsburgh.Yep. And I heard that they were going to need to change the name of their town to Duqaign.
Well Domask usually gets picked once or twice a game against defenses with quick hands on ball. So, thereās that.Someone said that DU's small, quick guards would hurt us with steals. I'm not afraid of that whatsoever. Let the Dukes worry about our taller, stronger guards . Shannon, Domask and Rodgers are all strong with the ball.
Agreed. I think my biggest concern going into tonight is on-ball pressure on Domask, but I also think the amount of pressure and doubles necessary to do this can't typically be sustained for 40 minutes. I look for them to go all-out on it early to hang in the game or even take the lead, but Illinois's conditioning wins out yet again to pull away in the 2nd half to not only win, but cover yet again.Well Domask usually gets picked once or twice a game against defenses with quick hands on ball.
