Kofi got hit during the Purdue game. Trent's been banged up all year, re-aggravated it before Purdue, got it banged up against Purdue.Didn’t Brad say 1) Kofi took a bad shot to the head the day before the Purdue game; and 2) Trent took a “horrific fall” that same practice?
We’re all aware of Edey’s antics and how Curbelo got hurt, but the pressers have given me the impression practice has been a culprit at times. See also, Hutcherson tailbone injuries.
My truck and personnel bathroom. Do I win anything?Looking for a bounce back game against MSU, there is still plenty of fight left in this team. Sure hope Kofi is back and that his concussion was mild without lingering symtoms. By the way, you may be an Illini fanatic if:
1. The hood of your car is sporting a huge Chief logo.
2. Your 2 dogs are named Butkus and Grabowski
3. Your house is painted dark blue, with orange doors and windows
4. You refer to your back yard as The Quad
5. Your wedding song was the Three in One
6. Your dingy basement man cave bar is called Kam's
7. Your new triplet boys are named Kofi, Trent, and Damonte
8. When you accidentally hit your thumb with a hammer, you scream "OSKEE WOW WOW that Hurts!"
9. The only soda you will drink is orange krush
10. Your daughter's first sentence was "I hate the Squawks!"
Nearly $70 on a Tuesday for the worst seats in the house might have something to do with it.Really surprised this one isn't sold out. What's the deal?
I fell backwards on my head reaching back for a ball in the outfield. The ball carried farther than I thought a being a klutz, I still made the catch but hrut myself in the process LOLDid you hit your head or something? /s
More research on CTE, concussion syndrome, and concussions in general has been done in the last 10-20 years than in the previous 100. It is meticulously monitored in all sports now. It's the primary reason NFL QB's can't be breathed on heavy anymore.
I think It's now primarily in the hands of doctors and tests.
I do not understand the hesitancy of playing Hawk more. He is vital to the teams success.Coleman needs to play way more... preferably most of the game! Him and Omar need to be on the floor most of the game! And play the freshman more! They are more than capable. This team is too deep to run us so thin with the small core underwood has been using! These guys need experience for next year!

Why are we worried about next year right now? We are in the middle of the season in which we're poised to win the conference and go to the tournament.Coleman needs to play way more... preferably most of the game!

You are correct, he is a defensive liability which is why we should play the kids more and get them ready for next year.He ain't great defensively.

Coleman is more of a liability, and we are way less efficient offensively when he is on the court.....You are correct, he is a defensive liability which is why we should play the kids more and get them ready for next year.
Shorter guards with no inside presence is a problem on both ends.Without Curbelo is doable … I don’t think we can win right now without Kofi, though.
Ball sticks a lot when he’s in, and despite his good looking stroke, he doesn’t take open threes and misses a good chunk of the ones he does take.Coleman is more of a liability, and we are way less efficient offensively when he is on the court.....
The only thing that could make that bathroom cooler is some Iowa Hawkeye toilet paper.My truck and personnel bathroom. Do I win anything?
I agree 100%. This is the year to go all in. Let’s see where this group of veterans can take us.Why are we worried about next year right now? We are in the middle of the season in which we're poised to win the conference and go to the tournament.
We are recruiting, getting the freshman some tick, and trying to survive a tough B10 schedule. Let's put our focus where it's most needed, please.
LOL. I got laughed at for not recognizing sarcasm in a thread yesterday, and refuting a ridiculous argument. It's posts like the one you are responding to that have broken my sarcasm meter. Maybe it too was intended as satire, but its getting very hard to tell after a couple of tough losses.
And when it clicks it will be glorious.Ball sticks a lot when he’s in, and despite his good looking stroke, he doesn’t take open threes and misses a good chunk of the ones he does take.
Tools are all there.
SH with lots of $28 tix including fees.I just checked, it's $67 for the cheapest seat on Illinois ticket website.
My only gripe with BU over the past few years is his lack of creativity on defense. Not sure if there is a stat out there to back it up, but we must have played the least amount of zone the past couple years. Our defense has been good, don't get me wrong...but sometimes teams get in a rhythm and figure it out. Or sometimes we just aren't guarding the same way we usually do. The Maryland game was a perfect example. There are so many ways to try to get a team out of rhythm. Full court man, 1-2-2, 1-3-1, 2-3 zone. Even staying in man but going smaller for a few possessions and switching everything.
