December 16, 201312 yr Oh man, I forgot about Egwu. Missouri is struggling with rebounding with JWIII being the only good rebounder. That's going to be a major painpoint Saturday. Damn I'm excited. Last good game before the slugfest conference games of the SEC.
December 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 12:45 PM) Yeah Egwu needs to start playing better offensively. I get that Groce wants these guys to drive and dish, and they're good at doing that, but Egwu needs to at least seem like an offensive threat. And he needs to learn to set legal screens. He got away with a few in the Oregon game and still had 2 offensive fouls on screens. He's never not in foul trouble, and it's really frustrating. In the BT, throwing Morgan and Colbert to the wolves for heavy minutes isn't going to work.
December 16, 201312 yr He's one of those guys that has too much intensity. He needs to dial it back and think about the bigger aspects of his game. BTW finals week is the worst part of the season. I hate going like 15 days with only two games.

I have no idea what those numbers are and maybe Wisconsin hasn't been hurt there either.

I said that Wisconsin would benefit from the rule change because they would get more free throws as one of the most common ways to beat them was to aggressively ride them.
December 17, 201312 yr While I think this is Bo Ryans best overall team to date, I''m still in wait and see mode... The only team Wisconsin has played thus far with a pulse was Florida's JV squad.

December 18, 201312 yr Just curious since I am out here and have to listen to people worshiping the team. What do you all think of Kansas? Do you think the team is a serious national title contender or a total pretender? Are you high on them or low?

Do you think the team is a serious national title contender or a total pretender? Are you high on them or low? As with Kentucky I'll let you know in a few months. I want to say that they are legit national title contenders because of the insane talent they have but as of right now they aren't a very good basketball team.
December 18, 201312 yr This is absolutely classic. You SIU boys had to have loved this. I lost it when he politely says "bless you" after someone sneezes right in the middle of his rant. http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/decemb...r-the-ages.html

We had guys falling down. We had 2 guys snipered at half court. I would have thought Navy Seal Team 6 was out there."

December 18, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 08:04 AM) Wow, what an embarrassment. As an SIU grad, I lean towards this. It's funny but if you're a head coach, you should set a better example to college kids. If they were pros, I'd get more of a kick out of it.

If they were pros, I'd get more of a kick out of it. The program has been an absolute embarrassment for years now so whatever. Barry has also done this kind of stuff forever, maybe not to this extent but he's been a character forever. That being said, he's also known as one of the better guys around and a great ambassador for the sport and Valley. I'm not going to be embarrassed about him trying to give the team a kick in the ass, I am embarrassed at the continued horrendous play on the court with no sign of that changing.
