November 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 18, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) Honestly thought we were getting KBD, local kid and relationship with Parham going in. Hopefully Groce has something else planned because I think a lot if people were counting on him coming to Illinois. He really should've stayed local and went to the school with the best team in the state.

November 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Nov 18, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Losing KBD is a big blow to UI and Purdue. Both were on him for a long time. Shocked everyone by going to OSU. That hurts but Groce has been in on KBD for a shorter period of time than basically every other staff that was recruiting him. Michigan and Purdue were on him the longest and he wasn't the priority he should have been under Weber. Edited November 19, 201213 yr by whitesoxfan99
November 19, 201213 yr I watched Ok State rip up NC State today. NC State is a bit fraudulent as far as their ranking goes, but OK State has a pair of deadly scorers in Nash and Smart. Marcus Smart put on a show in the first half and Nash is as good of a scorer as there is when he's on. If those two can find some consistency that's a top 20 team.

Today's game aside, I agree with you. Any team coached by Mark Gottfried has a ceiling lower than the top tier. I suspect Michigan will expose them in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

They are deep and talented.
November 19, 201213 yr I know UCONN is down this year and probably will never be ranked higher than 18-20 while also being ineligible for the post-season, but I'm amazed that their backcourt is essentially being ignored. Their guard combo of Napier-Boatright-Calhoun has got to be top 5 in the country.
November 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 18, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) KBD to Ohio St., nice get rock Hasn't signed yet but there was alot of chatter going on for weeks. Now if only Thad keeps it going and doesnt whiff like last year.

November 19, 201213 yr Good start to the Maui Invitational. Butler over Marquette by 1 on a buzzer beating, one handed, running 3.

November 19, 201213 yr Indiana struggling early against Georgia. Zeller, Hulls and Oladipo all with two fouls in the first half. Depth will be tested today. In other, possibly big news, Hanner Perea and Peter Jurkin have been granted permission to travel to NY. They did not travel with the team and will arrive later this evening. The NCAA has agreed to hear their appeal in NYC tomorrow, which could mean they will be eligible tomorrow night. Granted the appeal has to be won, but obviously with Shabazz declared eligible, there is optimism.
November 19, 201213 yr It would be nice if IU could just put Christian Watford on the FT line all night. He's 5-6 today and now 25-27 for the year. Last year going into the Kentucky game in the Sweet Sixteen he had hit 34 in a row.
