March 13, 201412 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) Bertrand is awful. Every time he comes it is basically and automatic run for the other team. I haven't wanted a senior off the team so bad since bill cole. Can't wait for next year.
March 13, 201412 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) Like I said before, he makes a great move, looks really athletic, but then the ball leaves his hand. That's Abrams even more than Bertrand at times.
March 13, 201412 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 11:55 AM) That's Abrams even more than Bertrand at times. Abrams is much for fitting of that description. Abrams makes some bad decisions but most of his issues as a basketball player are as simple as he just can't shoot.

Abrams makes some bad decisions but most of his issues as a basketball player are as simple as he just can't shoot. With Bertrand he makes a nice move to the hoop and then apparently closes his eyes and hopes for the best.

Abrams makes some bad decisions but most of his issues as a basketball player are as simple as he just can't shoot. And plays out of control. Head down, I will get to the rim and pray I'm fouled because this isn't going in. You can always see it coming.
March 13, 201412 yr Also, no one else should see the floor besides the 5 starters and Ekey the rest of the way.
March 13, 201412 yr The baffling thing about Bertrand is how good he was last year. It seemed possible he'd get worse if we increased his role, but at this point his role has been reduced and he's still awful
March 13, 201412 yr Get Bertrand out of the f***ing game Groce!!! Jesus, how many more times can he turn it over and still get playing time?

It seemed possible he'd get worse if we increased his role, but at this point his role has been reduced and he's still awful He has never been very good. He has had some great games because he has some one on one skills but if a game isn't fairly wide open he is useless because he is terrible in the half court. There was more floor spacing when he was in the game last year as well since teams respected Richardson and Paul a lot as shooters even though they didn't shoot a great percentage.
March 13, 201412 yr I know he can't really shoot 3s, but today of all days you're going to intentionally leave him ?!?!

March 13, 201412 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 13, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) ILL Nothing to lose tomorrow INI Long shot, but we gave ourselves a shot and that's impressive considering where we were not too long ago. Illinois has some sort of agreement with the NIT already (if we dont make the NCAA tourney), so looks like we are at least going there.
