March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 10:17 AM) Illinois hasn't taken the time to get a quality look on offense yet. I've seen this movie before. I was going to tell Krush, if Illinois is going to win, they better figure out how to score more than 51. But after seeing both teams shoot so far, I might be wrong. First one to 50 wins?
March 15, 201313 yr Dear Illini, When they jump you out on the wing, you back cut. It's elementary basketball. Don't just stand there/move further away from the basket. Sincerely, Fan who thought this s*** would end when we fired Bruce Weber
March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Understandable but 13 years of status quo should be enough to try something else. There is bball talent all around the state of IL that leaks into MAC schools that they could keep home. I think you need someone who can actually recruit. This has been something different. This is best sustained run of success NW has had since the 30's. The big problem there is getting kids who can qualify for NW, and still want to play basketball there. If they are any good, they are going somewhere better athletically too. That's why they look out of the country so often.

March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:41 AM) Who's a NW fan here? Zoom? Didn't Carmody sign their best recruit ever and he's made it known that he'll leave if Carmody leaves? Jaren Sina is one of the better recruits they've had. He was a 4-star pretty much everywhere before he committed to NU (that seems to happen a lot ). Right now he's rated similarly to Jitim Young (somewhere in the 80-120 range if I remember correctly) and Jerson Cobb (was like 90, fell below 100 in Rivals' spring update when he was recruited). I don't know if he's come out and said exactly those words, but he (and his dad, who I believe is his coach) have said something like "he will have to seriously reconsider his options if Bill Carmody is not retained."
March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:20 AM) Their PG play so far has been bad, real bad. I'm pretty sure Tracey Abrams is drunk half of the time that he plays.
March 15, 201313 yr The Illini's defense right hinges on Ferrell missing open shots. I know he can hit open shots; his shooting noticeably improved over the year. If he starts hitting them it will really open things up for Indiana.
March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) Anybody know if there's a place online to watch or listen to this game? I'm assuming it's on ESPN3.
March 15, 201313 yr Author QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 12:23 PM) I'm assuming it's on ESPN3. Gracias. I figured I'd have to find one of those rebroadcast illegal versions.
March 15, 201313 yr lol how do you come out of the timeout not knowing how much time is on the shot clock?
March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:25 AM) Gracias. I figured I'd have to find one of those rebroadcast illegal versions. WATCHESPN or ESPN3 works. I almost forgot this was the early game until I saw a bunch of older IU fans at breakfast on their mac laptops posting on peegs at palace this morning. Edited March 15, 201313 yr by RockRaines
March 15, 201313 yr lol This game is going to get out of hand if the refs let Indiana bump Illinois down the court Purdue style.
March 15, 201313 yr Abrams is the only one with enough ballhandling skills to even get a shot. Run a f***ing offense, morons
March 15, 201313 yr Author do the fans for each team get a certain section of the UC or is there just that much crimson in the crowd?
March 15, 201313 yr QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) lol This game is going to get out of hand if the refs let Indiana bump Illinois down the court Purdue style. Well Illinois should have known they weren't going to call fouls on IU, that's a given in this situation.
March 15, 201313 yr Travel on Zeller there. I don't what Dakich was talking about on that foul on Egwu though, he clearly caught Zeller across the wrist.
