Cool, check his first 7 min. He set the tone with a 17-4 lead at that point. I get your point that we did better on him after that start and others hurt us. My point is we can't let him have those stretches.

Every team shoots it well when it's kicked out from the post. It's second only to a layup as far as good basketball shots go.

Coleman bleeds orange and blue as much as anybody every played for Illini. He came back for his SR year. Watching him grow and improve from freshman to senior has been a wonderful experience. You can tell he is dying for a March run by the Illini. Wishing him the best. I hope he goes crazy with more 30 point games vs Purdue, Iowa, BTT and NCAAs.

First game in West Lafayette without TSJ was 83-78 which totals 161. TSJ is worth more than 4 points on the over-under not just for his scoring, but for the way he speeds the game up which means more possessions for both teams. If the O/U is really 164.5 at this point and we all bet on the over. we may have enough LOYALTY NIL money next year to bring Marcus back, assuming he gets the redshirt. I'm in for a Benjamin!210 points it is then.
I like strategy of denying 3p. I expect Edey to have 2 fouls in First 8 min and be on bench for half the game..don't think he will get enough tick for 30 shots.
This post gave me chills. Hawk has giving his blood, sweat, and tears to us. Let’s have him ball out at home one last time
I’d be happy with an 95-40 Illinois victory.
That stuff Painter says at around the 7-minute mark … Illinois used to be like that. Are we still?

Damn, this makes me sad, since it seems to imply he's leaving Illinois sooner than I expected
Wouldn't say that at all. Let's all just enjoy this season, we will have a very talented team again next year

It works better if you wait until he puts the ball down and then bring the double from behind him.
A lot of talk about letting Edey go off vs. doubling and allowing a three point barrage, but to me the key to this game is doing exactly what we didn’t do last time: REBOUND. We gave up 16 on the offensive glass to them last time, were -15 on the boards overall, and I recall TKR having at least 3 back-breaking O boards that led to fouls or And-1s. I think you can live with Edey taking jump hooks but if you don’t put a body on him or anyone else and the effort isn’t there on the glass, we won’t win.
I waited a couple of hours after the last peacock game and did not see the replay available that night, but there were replays from previous days listed. It appears that maybe they are available the next day, which is frustrating when forking over the money.
MAKE SOME NOISE TOMORROW!!!!!!!
I thought we were supposed to leave politics out of this!

I think BU needs to put TSJ on B Smith and take him out of the game- TSJ has been really locked in defensively when he wants to be and if he can bottle up Smith from scoring and not allow the easy entry passes we will be in a good place
I could be wrong, but it seemed Michigan State had a good gameplan for this Saturday night. It seemed like they sent 3 back for the defensive rebound and the player directly challenging Edey on the rebound would just tap it towards one of the other Michigan state players near the basket. One on one you will not beat Edy for most rebounds, so this seemed to be pretty effective.
Are we -1.5 for tomorrow or is my app incorrect?
