LittleHurt05 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) Maybe it's me, but since Weber's been there, his teams have always done a great job when they apply serious pressure in the form of a turnover or foul style press. Absolutely. I think that's how they came back from 20+ down in one half vs Clemson a few years back. On the flip side, I think that when teams have pressed Weber's teams, they have fallen apart awfully quickly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The worst perimeter college basketball shooter I've ever seen is leaving Illinois. Crandall Head to transfer...he'd be better off at somewhere like UIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crandall Head to transfer...he'd be better off at somewhere like UIC. Watching a game last week I remeber commenting that Head is very quick and super athletic, but appears to just be an awful basketball player, like he never learned the basics of the game. So much for the heralded recruiting class of Richmond, Head, & Leonard that saved Weber's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Never saw much of Crandall but seems he was never the same after that knee injury in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can scrap a few good wins as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nebraska basketball is the most awful team to play against. It will be a slow plodding game. You won't beat them by a lot b/c they won't let you have the ball a lot of possessions. I refuse to watch them play basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 BigTen kicks off tonight... IU vs MSU tomorrow... I don't see how IU can pull that off with Jones III and Sheehey out. Injuries at a TERRIBLE time. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogua Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 It's starting to look like Abrams might be a better fit in big ten play than Sam.

whitesoxfan99 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 LOL at the refs not calling that foul on Minnesota. Leonard got ridiculously hacked going to the basket. I'm pretty apathetic because if we continue to suck Weber is gone but that is f***ing ridiculous that that wasn't called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few plays before that, after he made a basket, meters got hit or punched right in from of hightower, who just ignored it? Was really odd.
