February 15, 201412 yr Author QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 11:01 PM) Yup, literally did a pull up and just kept hanging there. That's about as obvious of a violation of that rule as you can have. If that wasn't called a T, ditch the rule.
February 15, 201412 yr The Big 12 is just a complete mess from #2-6. Playing Texas Tech is like getting a rectal exam.
February 15, 201412 yr If Vonleh goes pro (which he should) does Crean last past next year for Indiana? There is a good chance they don't make the tourney if Vonleh goes pro because that frontcourt will be a train wreck.

That $7 million extra on his buyout if they remove him after 2015 instead of 2016 should be a big motivator.
February 16, 201412 yr Football team got Cotton Bowl trophy. They didn't even announce Sam, but a chant started and he got huge applause.
February 16, 201412 yr It is literally impossible to have a pair of wings who are worse passers than Rice and Bertrand. Solid effort by Illinois so far tonight though.
February 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) 3 fouls huh? Classic. Almost no defensive fouls were called on either team in the first half. Only 3 free throws total and both teams are doing a dreadful job attacking the basket. There is remarkably little offensive talent in this game. Illinois doesn't have a single upperclassmen who is really that talented on offense. Rice will hopefully be better with more talent around him next year but I'm seriously concerned about his propensity for forcing terrible shots and refusal to hit the open man. And this is the way Egwu needs to play all the time, just hit the glass and play D. He will always be bad on offense but if he gives effort like this on D next year's team will be pretty damn good with Hill and Nunn becoming sophs and then having Paul, Cosby and Starks eligible.
February 16, 201412 yr The offensive foul calls were dreadful as well. Maybe in the second half they'll flip it.
February 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) The offensive foul calls were dreadful as well. Maybe in the second half they'll flip it. Craft's was pretty legit but he also walked his ass off on that play before the contact. The second one was really really weak.
February 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 09:17 PM) Tate turning the ball over regularly tonight. He is terrible and not ready for Big 10 play. He will eventually be fine as a backup once he bulks up but he has no business getting minutes right now. Unfortunately he is one of the only guys on the roster who can handle the ball and Abrams also just isn't very good. Such a bad offensive roster.
February 16, 201412 yr Author Why is Nunn on the bench? One of the top Sophs in IL, nick Rakocevic, court side. I'll get to watch him tomorrow. Edited February 16, 201412 yr by Brian
February 16, 201412 yr Groce needs to ride Nunn and Hill for 30+ minutes a game. Those are the only two legitimate Big 10 talents on the roster. Although I will add Egwu to that if he just rebounds and plays D like he did tonight which has been the exception rather than the rule.
February 16, 201412 yr f***ing play Malcolm Hill. He is the most skilled player on the team. I'd be perfectly content to not see Ekey or Bertrand again this year but sadly they have to play a little.
February 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Well, Aaron Jordan scored 39 last night Thankfully Groce is recruiting players that actually have basketball skill. Next year will tell me if he is the right guy for the job as Hill and Nunn should both make big jumps and the 3 transfers are all proven solid college players that actually have basketball skill. This team is just remarkably lacking in guys who can actually shoot, dribble and pass.
February 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) "Hey John. When they fire you there is a job for you in Columbus." Not happening. That game was a f***ing abortion. At least we get a high draft pick.
