We just ignoring that Brad said Keaton dislocated his hip?
So we’d been told Keaton had back spasms. Now we find out he’s hurt because he sat the wrong way on the bus to the game, and his hip was dislocated/out of its socket? And then Brad said Keaton would just sit differently on the bus, and he’d be ok, and he wasn’t concerned about it? I’M CONCERNED! VERY CONCERNED! Since our seats are close to the team’s bench tomorrow, I’ll be watching closely when Keaton is sitting…

Just found out my son was admitted to the University of Minnesota!

Let’s crush them to welcome him and to give him one reason to choose Illinois (still waiting on admission decision).

Hehe.

Actually proud of him and Illinois is his first choice coming from Seattle. 🤔


I-L-L!
Both my daughter and son in law have degrees from U of I and grad degrees from Minny so they wear orange and blue with gold undies. Jokes aside they both loved Minneapolis and the snow. They are both nuts!

Even crazier they just moved back to Chicago from Mt. Vernon Wa

Maybe on the floor like Steve Nash and Larry Birdy used to.

I would bet he dislocated it when he landed on the basketball during the hook and hold play. He landed right on his right side hard.

Watch a replay looked like it hurt by his facial expression

They have an "interesting" team on paper (having not watched any of their games). Find notable states below:

- #1 in the nation in assists per FGM (cohesive)
- #35 in the nation in D1 experience (old)
- #355 in bench minutes - they essentially only have 7 guys on their roster after 2 key injuries

Over/under on 2 minutes into the broadcast when they mention that Minnesota and Illinois were Keaton Wagler's only 2 offers.
The #1 in Nation per FGM is good, not sure they have many guys that can take people 1 on 1.

Not to worry. Keaton will probably only be sitting for a couple minutes :)

Illinois with a tough first 5-6 minutes and then lead at half by 9, finishing with the win 85-71.

Bill Russell was the kingpin for Celtics teams that won 11 NBA titles, including 8 consecutive titles in a row starting in 1959. They were by far the most dominant team in NBA history. Russell did it with defense and was the 5th option on offense. He could score, but his passion was defense and rebounding. His match-ups against Wilt Chamberlain were epic battles. The offensive load was carried by K C Jones, Sam Jones, John Havlicek, and Don Nelson.

Seattle was very good, nearly dominant when they had Elgin Baylor.

The Rodney Dangerfield or Henny Youngman joke:

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this ...
Doctor: Don't do that.

Keaton: I really hope you don't sit too much today.

Go Illini.
