Man, you're telling me. My wife's an ND alum. I feel like this is going to be her long awaited payback for me rooting for Bama in the 2013 NC.Not looking forward to this one right now.
Worse for me. My daughter was a swimmer at ND. My other daughter married an ND alum from Goshen, about 30 miles away where he was a basketball player...6'8". They have been with us since Wed. but....fortunately for me... leaving Sunday so I will not have to be the poor stepchild Mon. night.Man, you're telling me. My wife's an ND alum.

Lucas Johnson with a jump shot would be a whole different proposition.Anyone else think Opie aka Luke was given all of the video footage of one Lucas Johnson and told this is your homework project? His whole persona reminds me of Lucas right down to his pushing and shoving under the basket. Swear they could have called 4-5 fouls easily last night. I like this kid alot!
Bold statement (esp. with the way Curbelo and Trent left the court in KC).Curbelo and Grandison will be back-Chance Trent plays as well
All teams are planning for this. Kofi will also wear down as he plays against multiple 6-10/260lbs players and triple teams. Rio Grande had 6-7/210 lbs players guarding him.This should be a “get it to Kofi every time down the floor” type game- we have nothing else going on right now and no time to build chemistry
With that said.............We have 5 players who have played in the first 6 games. They are Plummer, Hawkins, Verdonk, Payne, and Williams. Only two of these players have had any Illini playing time previously. We have been extremely lucky in the past two years with injuries and sicknesses. Hope this is just a short term problem but it does make a coach earn his bucks.
We have already beaten teams as good as ND have you watched them we win going away settle downNot looking forward to this one right now.
