So how exactly did we game the NET? Archived Message Posted by OB25 on February 10, 2025, 19:50:57, in reply to "February College Hoops Thread" I was comparing us to other teams several spots below us like Wisconsin, MSU, Michigan, and UCLA. The Q1/Q2 resumes are pretty similar across all and all those teams have 2-4 less losses than us. Was it just the 39 point average margin of victory in our 5 buy games? Or the road margins at Oregon and Indiana doing a ton of work?

Disagree* - CWR10 February 28, 2025, 13:13:01 mostly I say this because i think the step-back 3’s are not working-* - memyselfandillini February 28, 2025, 13:28:56 They're not, but this is also a byproduct of the rest of our offense - Blazer February 28, 2025, 13:50:03 admittedly there’s nothing to be done there. - memyselfandillini March 1, 2025, 10:24:40 I wouldn’t get my hopes up. - uofi1998 February 28, 2025, 10:37:40 It’s hard to imagine Riley not going in the first round at this point. - OB25 February 28, 2025, 11:03:45 He's turned things around the last month and if he finishes on a high note I don't see him returning - illinilosch February 28, 2025, 11:55:31 He’s been majorly down on Riley all along, that’s not a reflection of where he’ll get drafted. - OB25 February 28, 2025, 10:30:10 Riley, Morez, Tomi + smart additions around them would be epic* - CWR10 February 28, 2025, 10:24:28 Agreed. - EffinIllini February 28, 2025, 11:56:08 Hope is a dangerous thing* - Ron McDon February 28, 2025, 10:12:43 Kinda this. :-(( Gotta think all three had plans to be one-and-done to the pros. - osklister February 28, 2025, 10:22:00 Ugh what a bummer.

He was so far off the line - Nobster February 27, 2025, 22:22:56 Agreed. But an 'analyst' gotta have hot take. * - illinijohn February 27, 2025, 22:49:31 Agreed* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 22:13:49 Jesus Michigan’s record in close games is insane - Blazer February 27, 2025, 22:12:18 Their last NINE wins are by 4 points or less* - OB25 February 27, 2025, 22:14:06 Historic run - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 22:32:10 Unbelievable* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 22:15:53 Another buzzer beater * - jdl February 27, 2025, 22:11:35 FFFF Weasels! But perhaps it softens them up for Sunday. - illinijohn February 27, 2025, 22:16:40 Can’t believe that’s what they actually drew up or that it ended up working out.* - DocWalk20 February 27, 2025, 22:12:42 Michigan getting a ton of calls down the stretch* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 22:02:32 they shot 30 plus ft. I didn’t watch, but that sounds like a good whistle* - Nobster February 27, 2025, 22:18:34 Not a great FT shooting team either* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 22:21:11 Buttgers puts up 57 on scUM in the first half* - jdl February 27, 2025, 21:07:06 Goldin is a flopper * - jdl February 27, 2025, 21:51:11 If Rutgers wins, there is NFW we'll be given a fair shake on Sunday* - GMAW February 27, 2025, 21:18:26 Very interesting 3 point numbers (both offense and defense) from Isaac trotter in a pod with Werner - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 13:10:20 It's sort of why I can't quit this team - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:17:51 I was just out after Duke, but I think those stats got me back in, particularly if the defensive - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:22:12 I'm still onboard...just trying to enjoy it one game at a time* - OWWDig February 27, 2025, 15:20:20 Hear hear.

Now that we're off the slide and appear to be a lock I am just going to enjoy - Warrin'_Illini February 27, 2025, 15:16:24 How about this? We've only had 2 games all season below 50% from 2: @ NW (48.5) and @ IU (44) - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:10:30 You could say we were the worst shot selectors in the country and it wouldn’t account for - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 13:30:13 Counterpoint: in the last 5 years we've had teams shoot - Blazer February 27, 2025, 14:49:54 too much emphasis on weightlifting * - memyselfandillini February 27, 2025, 21:30:00 I think the chronic nature of bad shooting could be a product of system in that - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:20:19 Also, I think it was the Sleepers pod, but may have been one of the other random Illini pods - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:05:08 But he’s really the only guy who does that consistently - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:18:39 I'm pretty sure Boswell has also taken way more off the bounce too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:22:43 I mentioned Boswell, but taking a bounce and jumping back and away with a guy in your face - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:47:30 Agree to disagree, but I think he's taken a huge number of the step back/hand in your face shots too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:53:10 Boswell's taken a bunch of bad 3s - jdl February 27, 2025, 17:34:32 That’s where I am. There are definitely a bunch of bad ones, but eye test wise they’re not like KJ’s - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:44:21 He just made one against Iowa - Blazer February 27, 2025, 17:38:17 It really is the eye of the beholder on this I think* - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:20:37 At one point early in the season those numbers were reversed - jdl February 27, 2025, 16:15:44 Step back threes are bad shots* - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:06:33 You know what I miss? Shannon squaring up and hitting that little crossover move… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 15:25:46 By the definitions of this discussion, bad shot* - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:47:34 I'm sure Shannon's splits between step backs and catch and shoot were dramatically different too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:08:16 But part of why I mentioned it is because his version created a lot more separation… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 16:03:51 20 words (OK, 19 words and a number) too many.* - Illiniphil February 27, 2025, 15:29:32 Of course they are. But Coctostan says they're open and players make them all the time* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:07:33 No I’m not. I’m saying we maybe take more than others. And that we miss way way more of those - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:16:58 So we elect to take more off the bounce threes than other shots, which are harder to make? - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:11:24 For fucks sake. You’re being a willing jackass now. I’m good. No more on this from me* - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 16:18:38 Chillax man, just giving you a hard time - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:25:11 I think maybe if you're taking a LOT of shots, and some are bad, that can impact the wide open ones - IlliniRunner February 27, 2025, 15:03:41 That’s a crazy number by opp which should come down. I think we are what we are shooting it* - CWR10 February 27, 2025, 13:24:06 I think we are at this point too - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 13:34:37 Teams we should be rooting against if trying to get on the 7 line… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 12:07:45 Wow, Oweh with a sick finisher against Oklahoma.* - voiceofreason February 26, 2025, 22:28:11 Two Last Four in teams headed to OT on ESPN2 (Texas/Arkansas)* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:20:55 Another never ending CBB game* - bjl63 February 26, 2025, 22:46:47 Really need USC to not get shit pumped tonight* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 22:12:05 We're in my man * - jdl February 26, 2025, 22:33:19 OSU 6/6 from 3* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:41 7/7* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:59 We should try that some time* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:51:11 Dain with 25, 10 tonight.* - GCIllini99 February 26, 2025, 21:45:09 Would be hilariously awesome if Indiana follows up the Purdue win by losing this game* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:52:06 MSU went 4-0 against: @ Ill; Purdue; @ UM; @ Maryland* - GMAW February 26, 2025, 20:39:55 MSU definitely has that team of destiny vibe this year* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 20:11:37 Or first round exit. * - assassin February 26, 2025, 20:22:02 I actually think Michigan is the most fraudulent of the top Big Ten teams.* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:49:41 Why not both?* - OrangeSox February 26, 2025, 20:22:41 You would think having a kid at MSU would make me like MSU more - GMAW February 26, 2025, 19:59:33 I’m the same with Mizzou* - Drippy February 26, 2025, 20:23:41 Iowa here* - NastyBoyd February 26, 2025, 20:46:43 man, i dislike Izzo and the horseshoe in his arse* - OWWDig February 26, 2025, 19:40:56 So much* - Ron McDon February 26, 2025, 20:12:10 That was insane* - illini21 February 26, 2025, 19:36:59 OMG* - snipes824 February 26, 2025, 19:36:20 Not really sure what that Maryland guard was doing* - Mrap24 February 26, 2025, 19:37:11 Trying to win the game?
