That’s a crappy feeling when you’ve been looking forward to a game all day, you get home, prepare a meal, sit down, only to realize you’re a day early.

Greg Kampe was one of the highlights of this year's Coaches vs Cancer for me. Has a dry, self-deprecating sense of humor. For as good of a coach as he is, he might have missed his calling as a comedian.
His team will lose tonight by a lot of points though.

IMO one of the weaknesses of last year's team was a lack of true, great three point shooters. Outside of 3-4 guys - TSJ, Marcus, Coleman, Goode - you could kind of sag on the others.
This team seemingly has virtually no one you can sag on.
So yeah... they'll likely play a ton of zone and if you can limit TOs, get the ball to the right spots, shoot and make good open shots...

Better than a day late.... just sayin'.That’s a crappy feeling when you’ve been looking forward to a game all day, you get home, prepare a meal, sit down, only to realize you’re a day early.
I hope there's emphasis on getting good looks for Humrichous, I hope Booth keeps shooting 3s and I hope Riley gets so hot that his only miss is a heat check from the logo. Let's go!IMO one of the weaknesses of last year's team was a lack of true, great three point shooters. Outside of 3-4 guys - TSJ, Marcus, Coleman, Goode - you could kind of sag on the others.

He's still averaging 7 rebs. per game in 24 minutes. Very small sample size but that's better than anyone on our team averaged over last season.

Oakland lost at Boise State by 40 something and Illini are currently -24 for those who care about such things.
