kjshoe04 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've seen UIC, SIU, Bradley, and I've caught a couple UIUC games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Clearly a couple of UIUC games gives you the ability to claim that ISU is the best team since.. well.. ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm just saying I've seen both teams and I think ISU is better when they are both playing at their top level. ISU is more athletic and shoots the 3 better. UIUC only has the size advantage, this is just my biased opinion however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 So when Illanoy wins the big 10 and ISU hosts a home court NIT game will you give up this stupid assertion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you mean better than Indiana, because ISU would be about avg in the big ten. And im speaking from player by player talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjshoe04 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 As pretty much the only ISU fan ever in this forum, I pretty much have to be a huge homer to get any conversation going.

I am the only Minnesota fan ever in the forum, but you don't see me claiming that my team has a better backcourt than any other team in the country. You'd be surprised how much conversation comes about from being sane. Edited January 24, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Eldridge could play just about anywhere. Champ on the other hand was mediocre at best for 3 years at Oregon and wouldn't be putting up anywhere near the numbers he is now if he was in a major conference.

Â You won't find a poster on here who hates UIUC more than I do, as I think Weber is a whiny scumbag. With that in mind, UIUC would dominate ISU right now. The Illini are a hell of a defensive squad, and losing Pruitt/Randle is the best thing that could have ever happened to that program.

Palehosefan Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I don't think I have seen a coach fall as far as Gary Williams. From national title to not even mattering anymore. His teams are getting worse and worse each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy I cant stand is Bo Ryan, he just seems to be the biggest jerk. Â Edit: Ryan is still a very good coach though.
