Mizzou vs. U of I will be quite the game, as it used to be (and was last year, great game).

 

I think mizzou will get crushed. Our team I thought would get better at guarding the perimeter on 3s this year, but our rotations are just horrid.

 

I'm anxious to see Jabari Brown's addition to the team, a lot landed on his shoulders with Mike Dixon's departure. We need a second ball-handler, a dynamic one. Keion Bell and Webster-Chan are just at best capable. Our turnovers are extreme and our 3 point shooting is gone. But there's so much there, it just needs to come together.

There's a 0% we crush you.

 

Honestly if I had to put money down today, I'd pick Mizzou to win by a few.

Well, crushed is subjective. Games have been tight against Stanford and VCU, and we just have not dealt well with pressure at all. BUt also it's a perspective shift, because this time last year, we were beating teams by like 40-50 points.

Other things will come with time given the turnover from last year's team. They just need 3-point shooting. Dixon was the team's best shooter. Hopefully Brown will be.

 

I actually had a nightmare where Illinois beat Missouri and it actually woke me up. Talk about being a hardcore fan, ha.

 

Also, in case anyone didn't know or forgot last year's Mizzou team was playing without its best player, Laurence Bowers. If he was on that team, man, the possibilities. It's fun to see him back, but it just makes me that much more sad that he was out last year.

Well, what's your opinion of crushed then?

 

And we've eeked out wins at home against Gardner-Webb and Western Carolina.

Hopefully you don't sleep much after the 22nd.

I remember this one time I had Mizzou in my Final Four and they lost in the first round.

 

Anyway, Iowa vs Iowa State on Friday should be a good game.

I want Northwestern to win, but I also want Butler to be as strong of an opponent on paper as possible. Northwestern has more to gain, though, so I'll root for them.

12 point dogs, should lose. Not expecting too much.

Hawkeyes

 

My God, I'm f***ing done with Korie Lucious. It's like watching Chris Allen but much more annoying.

 

 

Awful call on Griffey. What up he gawn?

Bertrand has been super impressive the past few games.

Two great offensive squads going at it tonight.

BP3 is killin' it on both sides of the court. He's so good at blocking from the side or back.

That's a crap call on Henry.

The Brandon Paul Wooden campaign marches on.

Backcourt violation despite being more seconds on the shot clock. REFS!!!

Refs brutal both ways tonight, pretty ridiculous how Bardo keeps having to correct the refs call.

Bardo doing a pretty good job of veiling his excitement at how well the Illini are playing.

Mark Few, what are you doing? Does he not know the huge advantage he has?

At the bar so I can't hear. But in the past he's been the anti Bill Walton. Trying to veil Illini fandom to the point where it sounds like he roots against them.

No one gets less out of top talent than Few does.

On ESPN today they called OSU and Illinois the two most overrated teams in the country.

BP3 takin' over.

Gottlieb and Seth Davis on one show. Too much douchiness for one set.
