November 27, 200817 yr I don't know how this is anything but expected when Kyle Taber (of 1.3 PPG) is our returning "star".

The jerseys still say "Indiana" on them, which makes it very hard for me to wrap my mind around. That's all it is really to be honest.

That's all it is really to be honest. Fair enough. This year's all about development, as this should be a quick rebuild, with the reinforcements Crean's got coming in. Honestly, I'm enjoying watching this team. It may not be pretty, but it's nice to know you're getting their 110% all the time.

November 28, 200817 yr QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 28, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) no 2005, the great comeback. Weird. The website has every game but that one. I can "acquire" this video from you tube for you: But, I'm not sure where you can get the whole game. You could ask them: http://www.ncaaondemand.com/contact/new
November 28, 200817 yr Tried turning on the Illini game on for kicks since it's on fox college sports on comcast ch 413 through one of those sports packages...and it's on. Thanks to whoever did that.

Thanks to whoever did that. Illinois beats Kent St. in OT. Tisdale still makes plays that will drive you nuts but he was terrific down the stretch. Another really nice game by Davis as well. This team is so much more entertaining to watch than last year. Edited November 29, 200817 yr by whitesoxfan99
November 29, 200817 yr True, but that game was sloppy. So many chances to tie it up and take some sort of lead, and they couldn't do it the entire 2nd half.
November 29, 200817 yr Davis is starting to figure it out obviously. If Tisdale ever follows suit (and although in a different way, he has just as much raw talent as Davis IMO), that is a nasty duo to deal with on the front line. Combine that with McCamey and Legion, and that is certainly something right there in the Big 10 for the rest of this year before the calvary arrival the next 2 years, which would help even more going with those 4 current sophomores in the future. Tisdale saved the day today though, hopefully they take out Tulsa tomorrow. Edited November 29, 200817 yr by whitesoxfan101

Tisdale saved the day today though, hopefully they take out Tulsa tomorrow. Tisdale just needs to get stronger. It is still too easy to take the ball from him but his offensive skill is tremendous. And when he plays with confidence like he did down the stretch he is a huge weapon. Plus he and Davis with their length and athleticism alter a lot of shots which is a nice to see. It has been a while since Illinois has had a shot blocking presence.
November 29, 200817 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Nov 29, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Spencer Tollackson is as bad a color commentator as he was a college center. ISU made him look decent upon a time. ISU in real danger of losing to Mississippi Valley State. We suck.
November 29, 200817 yr Legion is gonna drop rapes when he's eligible. Although dude is really, really awful at defense. But hey, maybe he's listening to Weber.
November 30, 200817 yr Chris Wright had a ridiculous dunk over Maurice Acker at the Sears Centre tonight.
