I enjoyed this Calipari rant - UofIL6 Today, 11:27:25
- John Calipari ranting about sticking to the rules. What planet is this?* - Carl Spackler Today, 11:30:54
  - Coaching resume includes squeaky-clean schools like Kansas, UMass, Memphis, Kentucky, Arkansas. * - osklister Today, 11:56:32
Couple interesting scores out of the state of Michigan - OB25 Yesterday, 19:17:59
We’ve outscored our buy game opponents 585-376 - biclops Yesterday, 17:13:57
- One of our buy game victims (LIU) is leading by 3 at the half over #23 UGA * - jdl Yesterday, 18:59:43
- Not counting Miznoz as a buy game, right? * - jdl Yesterday, 18:23:30
  - The thought occurred to me, but no* - biclops Yesterday, 18:32:20
Broken nose confirmed for Zvonimir * - biclops Yesterday, 16:48:45
- But apparently happened in practice - Blazer Yesterday, 22:13:51
Underwood’s voice sounds great. 2 games in 16 days with a combined margin of +78 - meanjeans Yesterday, 16:03:16
- Hopefully Nebraska was a wake up call. We looked great against Miznoz, but I'm not sure - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 16:05:14
Moved up to 8 in kenpom* - Mrap24 Yesterday, 16:01:31
2nd half margin was only 14 - timmer Yesterday, 15:58:56
Davis now at 42% from three on the season * - meanjeans Yesterday, 15:58:19
- leading scorer today (and only took 6 shots)* - Orangeillini Yesterday, 16:28:51
  - That dude has the ball in his hands for fewer seconds that about anyone I’ve ever seen - John Coctostan Yesterday, 17:03:22
Nice close to preserve the cover* - assassin Yesterday, 15:57:48
- And get the 9x - 5x* - Herman Blume Yesterday, 16:55:27
bleeding kenpom points here * - jdl Yesterday, 15:55:20
- Jerking off over "KenPom points" every game is the worst side effect of Bball analytics* - ilinni11 Yesterday, 15:58:21
  - absolutely leaches enjoyment from the games - Sammich Yesterday, 17:31:05
    - Yeah no - Blazer Yesterday, 22:10:43
      - It's true that I would rather have this problem than that one. - Sammich Today, 11:50:28
    - This implies fans didn’t think like that before advance analytics - John Coctostan Yesterday, 17:55:39
      - I very rarely heard anything about margins as it related to seeding back in the day. - Sammich Today, 11:49:05
  - No one's doing that - jdl Yesterday, 16:07:29
    - JDL I don't pay attention to Kenpom so I appreciate the updates.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 16:11:32
  - Meh, it’s no different than the way gamblers have always watched games* - Blazer Yesterday, 16:04:40
    - Which was fine when it wasn’t shoved in everyone’s face* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 16:07:21
      - It’s a basketball discussion thread. Move on to the next post* - Blazer Yesterday, 16:25:16
        
        Just because you don't like it doesn't mean he isn't right* - ilinni11 Yesterday, 16:33:25
- Need to get that 9x-5x. Southern is better than Missouri.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 15:58:03
- What was the kenpom line?* - Blazer Yesterday, 15:57:07
  - 28* - Mrap24 Yesterday, 16:00:44
    - How does that work, I see us as +29.45 and them as -5.94. Shouldn’t the spread be at least 35.5? * - meanjeans Yesterday, 16:09:44
      - The ratings are per 100 possessions and there are usually more like ~70 in a basketball game* - UIHuskie Yesterday, 16:10:59
        
        Oh cool, that makes sense. Thanks! * - meanjeans Yesterday, 17:04:30
    - Thx* - Blazer Yesterday, 16:01:30
- Vegas nailed it at -32 though * - meanjeans Yesterday, 15:56:22
Need to get my guy Big Jakysts more minutes. Also Brandon "The Crow" Lee.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 15:42:58
- Lee doesn’t do a great job protecting the ball in traffic either it seems * - assassin Yesterday, 15:47:37
  - Which is why he should be getting some experience against a bad team with the game in hand. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 15:52:59
  - Reminds me of DMW there - jdl Yesterday, 15:50:41
Z seems much better about not jumping at every pump fake* - Blazer Yesterday, 15:30:13
we rebounded 7 of our 11 misses in the first half* - Orangeillini Yesterday, 15:00:47
We are 94.1% likely to win this game, per yahoo.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 14:55:43
- 99.7 on ESPN* - Mrap24 Yesterday, 15:03:11
  - 103.5 KISS FM* - biclops Yesterday, 15:24:57
- Seems low * - jdl Yesterday, 14:57:37
  - I thought so. 96.7% now, kinda nervous we can close this out.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 15:09:22
Second half triple double watch for Wagler* - Blazer Yesterday, 14:48:47
Bank is open on Monday * - jdl Yesterday, 14:45:59
- Every shot that guy has thrown up has looked terrible but went in* - ilinni11 Yesterday, 14:48:19
- My dad also made that joke* - assassin Yesterday, 14:46:53
This Wagler kid, man* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 14:30:33
- Gonna flirt with a triple double if he wants to* - illinilosch Yesterday, 14:51:50
You can see why it’s hard to find a role for Petrovic - OB25 Yesterday, 14:20:12
- the fact that he's got 11 turnovers in 67 minutes played this season doesn't help either* - Orangeillini Yesterday, 14:24:39
- He'll be more useful when we re-sign Kofi * - jdl Yesterday, 14:21:47
  - Is that a thing? I hadn’t heard that rumor* - jjlocke923 Yesterday, 14:44:19
    - A fake one * - jdl Yesterday, 14:46:27
      - With how competent the NCAA is, I'd say its possible. - illinilosch Yesterday, 14:53:42
I think Petro may just stink* - Blazer Yesterday, 14:18:53
- He’s easily dispossessed. He’d tighten that handle with more playing time* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 14:24:40
- He’s really pressing* - Ron McDon Yesterday, 14:23:14
Did Z hurt his nose in the miznoz game? What's up with the mask? - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 14:17:01
- Yeah, he smacked heads with a Miznoz dude - jdl Yesterday, 14:20:54
- Must've gotten wild on the Humrichous wedding dance floor* - OrangeSox Yesterday, 14:18:31
Boswell back in the bench* - Ron McDon Yesterday, 14:14:14
- and in the game. * - assassin Yesterday, 14:16:46
we've already reached the slop fest portion of this game* - OrangeSox Yesterday, 14:11:55
- I hear ya like 'em SLOPPY......* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 14:14:59
What happened with o Boswell? No replay here* - biclops Yesterday, 14:11:31
- landed on top of a Southern foot and rolled his left ankle* - OrangeSox Yesterday, 14:13:26
- Rolled his left ankle* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 14:12:24
That didn’t look great, he didn’t land on a foot or anything.* - OB25 Yesterday, 14:11:19
- Came down awkward and turned it* - Blazer Yesterday, 14:13:26
  - If he turned it then that’s less concerning. In the one reply I saw… - OB25 Yesterday, 14:14:53
Gimpy Boz * - jdl Yesterday, 14:10:23
Great crowd. For some reason, long lines getting in. Maybe everyone arrived late.* - Philo Yesterday, 14:01:44
- Big crowd, but dead. - tvillini Yesterday, 14:12:06
The replacement band is….struggling.* - Ron McDon Yesterday, 13:54:35
- Just coming here to say that and every Illini dad between 35-55 got the Bradomir outfit for Xmas. - tvillini Yesterday, 13:56:52
Who is on the call?* - biclops Yesterday, 13:35:02
- There was a Jarling’s Custard cart in the lower concourse, so assuming Weber.* - JFG Yesterday, 13:44:31
I thought your game time was a typo until I checked. Why the afternoon game on a weekday?* - voiceofreason Yesterday, 11:27:35
- What else is going on this afternoon?* - Dilbert Yesterday, 11:47:55
  - Work.* - voiceofreason Yesterday, 12:00:33
    - You wanna take a look at the Penske file while I do my performance review?* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 13:43:04
- kind of a holiday week, against a meh opponent - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 11:30:32
  - Buncha games on BTN too, so... wouldn't want to miss Delaware St @ Rutgers in prime time, right? - osklister Yesterday, 11:44:52
Noticed on kenpom this morning that our tempo / poss per 40 min is 68.1, which is #225 nationally - meanjeans Yesterday, 9:57:06
- We DO NOT push the ball with this roster, we get very few runouts and transition buckets. - ATL Yesterday, 10:23:21
  - Tailored nicely to Shai Gilgeous-Wagler's game.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 10:44:40
  - With passers that can move the ball around so well and - memyselfandillini Yesterday, 10:27:38
We better smash the SHIT out of them.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 9:13:30
- That would be helpful. For the next three games, honestly. Then two Q1 games. Then more trash. - JFG Yesterday, 9:17:04
  - We need to atone for the Nebrasketball loss with a win @ Iowa.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 9:19:26
Weather won't help attendance, either. - Illiniphil Yesterday, 9:11:31
- We are on our way. Some blowing snow on 57 but otherwise ok - biclops Yesterday, 10:24:53
