January 22, 201511 yr My nightmare scenario as a GT fan is if they hire Painter after the season. Not impressed at all by him the last few years.

Not rumored, as Mark Price is the favorite as of now. After the Gregory hire, I worry about anyone that doesn't make sense but might want out before they get fired
January 22, 201511 yr Oh well good win. Hopefully the first of at least 4 before Rice comes back. Edited January 22, 201511 yr by Jenksismybitch

January 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 11:06 PM) I mean...these officials. That was an obvious over and back No it wasn't. You can tap the ball backwards off a miss shot and if it goes into the backcourt it isn't over and back.

I don't think thats the rule. If an illinois player touches it first, sure, but not a straight pass/tip Edited January 22, 201511 yr by Jenksismybitch

No one has possession in that situation so Purdue has never established possession in the frontcourt for there to be a backcourt violation.
January 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) It is. No one has possession in that situation so Purdue has never established possession in the frontcourt for there to be a backcourt violation. I think if you tap the ball directly as he did, that should be considered possession. It was the same as a rebound and pass, just in one motion.
January 22, 201511 yr That was one of the better 2nd halves under Groce, it was really encouraging to see. Also, Leron is going to be a beast, kid is just starting to figure it out and he'll be a rebounding machine which Illinois hasn't had in quite a while.

Yeah, I thought the idea of having Hill front Hammons while Egwu was able to sag off of a 18% 3PT shooter and help was pretty ingenious. I thought the game was pretty much over after Egwu picked up his fourth foul. I think Black, Nunn, and Hill all have the ability to make an All Big Ten at some points in their career. I mean, Hill didn't look that great physically last night and he still ended up with 18-6-4. It just seems like the young players have a much better basketball acumen in comparison to the older guys. This includes Rice. Hill made a stellar pick and roll pass late to Egwu that resulted in an and 1 dunk and then he had a nice assist to Black late in the game where I'm almost positive Rice would have tried to force both.
January 22, 201511 yr Back to being irrationally hopeful: @Minn - Win PSU - Win Rutgers - Win @MSU - Loss Mich- Win @Wis - don't even make the trip MSU - Win @Iowa - Loss NW - Win Neb - Win @ Purdue - Loss 10-8. Solidly in the tourney with a 7-9 seed. More realistic: they lose @ Minn and one of their home games. 8-10. Out of the tourney. That Michigan choke job was so huge. The tough Indiana loss was equally huge. Edited January 22, 201511 yr by Jenksismybitch
January 23, 201511 yr Look at the Blue Demons! Oh, and Ga Tech has 18 points with 11 minutes left in the game. Gregory shouldn't be allowed back on the plane home.

January 23, 201511 yr Crean just invented the spread offense in basketball. Edited January 23, 201511 yr by RockRaines
January 23, 201511 yr A couple slices of cake, this game, and a tie with Wisconsin in the standings. I am content with tonight.
January 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) Crean just invented the spread offense in basketball. When they can spread the floor, penetrate, and knock down shots like that, it's hard to stop. Great game from IU.

The commentary was a little over the top, but I've got to admit to being really impressed with what Crean has done to get this team in shape and performing like this in January.
January 24, 201511 yr Why the f*** is GameDay in Ann Arbor? Don't they set the locations a week ahead of time now?
