How snake bitten is this program? Terrible news for Thorne and just bad luck for the program. Hopefully Thorne can get a 6th year waiver. Illinois has 1 scholarship left for 16, so hopefully he is granted a waiver. Thorne/Morgan Black/Finke/Williams Hill/Jordan/Nichols/Austin Nunn/Coleman-Lands Abrams/Lucas/Tate Pretty good depth.

It would be awesome if he actually is out for the season to be able to come back next year, we'll see how long he actually is out but man that lineup is definitely a tourney team. Note: not saying it's awesome that he's out, but this would be a great way to salvage a bad luck injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We are one of the few big programs that flat out doesnt have much home court advantage. I want some of that good home cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Starting to get concerned that Iowa State is showing a similar pattern to last year, in that they start games against lower opponents too slowly, only to finally pull away late. That's a dangerous M.O. that will eventually bite them in the ass. It appears it wasn't a Hoiberg thing, but about these players. North Dakota State and Illinois went the same way, and VA Tech was similar but they had their run late in the 1st half. Maybe it's too early for that to be an issue, but I saw it a lot last year.

I was blown away by the pictures myself. But yeah pictures won't do it justice, good or bad, compared to tv, especially since we've yet to see it with people in it. Hope it's amazing.

NDSU went on a big run when everyone thought Niang blew out his knee. The team is still learning to play under Prohm as well. The defense is already miles ahead of last year. Ken Pom efficiency ratings, while still early Offense last year: 11 This year: 15 Defense last year: 71 This year: 22 They've been rusty on offense at times, but the defense has come miles already. They lose the Colorado game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting some amazing new venue or something, but at the end of the day it's still going to be the same building. I think getting the empty donor seats off of TV and replacing them with the students should make it look a thousand times better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'd say IU's defense is terrible, but that implies we actually play any defense at all. Just brutal. I don't understand how the personnel and talent can stay the same/improve, and the defense can regress this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
