Gordo ranks area hoops: Terrence Shannon Jr. elevates Illinois as postseason nears
His presence on the team may be controversial and uncomfortable for the university, but in the mercenary world of college basketball his return was enormously beneficial to the Fighting Illini.

I don't know... Bringing slaps to a guns fight is certainly a choice, but don't think it'll work out well for him
At first glance, I thought I was looking at the shot clockDid anyone else want to criticize the Whosiers new home uniforms?

He was WAY ahead of his time with what he could do on the court. Learned a lot from his instructional tapes when I was a kid in the 2000’s which shows how much he’s impacted the game all these years later. Loved watching the “Pistol” movie as well, I used to sleep with a basketball like he did in the movie haha. He’s also the reason I learned to spin a ball on my finger. Definitely owe a lot to him on how he impacted my love for basketball.
As a middle school girls coach here in Sullivan IL, it’s nice for them to have someone like her to look up to and keep them interested in basketball!
Colgate is not doing too badly. First in the Patriot League. Pretty far ahead of the 2nd place team which happens to be Lafayette. Colgate 14-1 (20-8 overall), Lafayette 10-5.
A couple huge games for BTT seeding purposes tonight in Iowa at MSU and Maryland at Wisky. MSU is a heavy favorite (80% odds according to Pom) and Iowa has struggled hard on the road, but they did just knock off Wisky... A loss would drop MSU a game behind a top 4 BTT seed, which based on tiebreaker is really almost like a game and a half. And a win for Iowa keeps them securely in the Top 8.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin, in a deep downward spiral is taking on a plucky Maryland team playing better of late. Wisconsin still has a 74% chance to win according to Pom, but they haven't been playing like it recently and Maryland should be up for this one. A loss would drop Wisconsin out of the Top 4, while a win for Maryland could jump them up from an 11 seed to the 8 seed with an Iowa loss.
So really big swing games if either dog wins this one. Should be a fun night of hoops

How Maryland finishes the season has a huge impact on our ncaa seeding (as big of an impact as any individual team can).
They’re currently 74 in NET. Stay in the top 75 and it’s a Q1 win and a Q2 loss. Drop below 75 and it’s a Q2 win and a Q3 loss.

They actually clinched the league title last night; the first regular season title to be clinched this season.
Our non-conference scheduled ended up being really solid…
Colgate 20-8, won the Patriot League
Oakland 18-10, first in the Horizon
Southern 16-10, tied for first in SWAC
Western Illinois 17-10, game back of the OVC
Obviously Tennessee & Marquette are both having great years
FAU underperforming but still a quality win.

And this is why the current system is severely flawed. The real world is analog, not digital. The 74 team is not significantly different that the 76 team, so treating them as such is a problem. Plus every team has a huge standard deviation on their level of play on a given night - when a team is playing well in a stretch, they are a tough out. When they are not, they may be an easy out.
To borrow from Winston Churchill, analytical rankings are the worst form of seeding, except for all the others.
Can’t imagine a less interesting game lol, the SEC equivalent to Purdue-Michigan.
Go mighty Terps!

I think some of these participants may have a future in the criminal Justice system
Splurge and get the three dollar seats. Live it up!

I just realized that both B10 games tonight are back to back on the Peacock. Do they call that a doubledonger?
