December 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) LOL It was true. Thought Dykes might fellate him. Maybe then he could have hit something.
December 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 06:20 AM) Phil Pressey with the most impressive 3-19 performance you will ever see. That was a fun game to watch, Illinois wasn't gonna win them all, DJ & BP3 went 3-17 from behind the arc, it happens. Just be ready to play at the UC next weekend, Auburn just lost home to Winthrop so that needs to be an easy W. And back off all you Tyler Griffey haters. Griffey was dreadful. Is there a site that tracks cbb +/-?
December 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 06:02 PM) It was true. Thought Dykes might fellate him. Maybe then he could have hit something. It's a nationally televised game. They aren't just televising for the fans of the team they are introducing viewers to the teams and their top players. Pressey is clearly a top pg in nation so they are going to focus on him. He was able to dribble through your double teams and when a player is slashing to the hoop you are going to draw help. He also was great on Paul in the second half. Pressey has always shot too much, but all you need is to check out what happened when he left for the bench to see his value on mizzou even on a bad night.
December 23, 201213 yr He was bad last night. No other way to spin it. Kept Illinois close. He did make some nice passes, but it takes a pg with with an iq of about 20 to get the ball down low last night. Him trying to shoot while Illinois kept inexplicably switching Egwu on him was flat out stupid. Edited December 23, 201213 yr by Buehrle>Wood

December 23, 201213 yr Griffey made just about every big shot Illinois had last night. I think it's pretty clear D.J. Richardson was the goat. He had some of the worst shot selection you'll see.

December 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 23, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) Not sure what to think of that because Egwu was absolutely great last night. Bertrand took over for a few minutes as well. Paul and DJ had bad nights, and the team overall didn't shoot very well. I'm okay with this loss, we didn't bring our A-game and we still kept it close. I think it bodes well for BIG play for us.

I understand his defensive issues, but let's not act like he contributed nothing. 4-7 from behind the arc, 14 points, that's helpful.

They didn't shoot well and got destroyed in the paint by a bigger team, yet had a chance to tie with 90 seconds left. Can't complain.
December 24, 201213 yr Illinois ranked behind Gonzaga. Brilliant. Yes, I get it. Rankings don't matter etc etc.
December 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 24, 2012 -> 01:18 AM) Lost in all the Illinois moral victories was Jabari Browns 18-7 game. The real question is, what does Jabari Brown think of Tyler Griffey's play?

December 25, 201213 yr Not one mention of Jabari Parker's decision in here? Plenty of discussion in the recruiting thread.
December 25, 201213 yr QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 25, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) Not one mention of Jabari Parker's decision in here? No real surprise seemingly Duke or Michigan State were the choices and it was talked about in the recruiting thread. I will not root for him.
December 29, 201213 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 29, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) Be quiet. I thought he was just referring to the fact that the score was 88-88 after regulation, or even 97-94 after 1 OT. That's a lot of points, for both teams. Edited December 29, 201213 yr by farmteam
