With Keaton now 2nd team AA on Sporting News and AP, does that mean rafters?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
ooo
Posted by jdl
|
Thanks. For some reason, I thought someone had said making 2nd team on at least 2 o the 4

Isn't it whatever the definition of consensus is? A majority of the accepted voting...

Why does JDL even post here?*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
He is too lazy to read links *
Posted by jdl
|
That's giving me way too much credit.*
Posted by uofi1998

I've got him on ignore... been waiting for you to jump in*

Consensus is the top 10 vote getters in the 4 AA lists. 3 pts for 1st team, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd*

Remind me: Does our late round 1 time guarantee late round 2 time?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
No. Had late game in 2022 against UT-Chattanooga, and then early game against Houston*
Posted by Blazer
|
What a disgusting tourney that was...*
Posted by uofi1998
|
That UT-Chatt game is one of the least enjoyable tournament wins ever*
Posted by AintHatin
|
It was horrible but good to see T.O. go home unhappy.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
More enjoyable that the Ut-Chatt tournament loss*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Grandison was an underrated part of that team. His injury impacted that team.*
Posted by ATL
|
Trent was a shell too by that point*
Posted by Blazer
|
That Chattanooga game might be the most unpleasant basketball experience I’ve ever had*
Posted by Blazer
|
The Coleman Hawkins block at the end of regulation in that game.
Posted by illinilosch
|
And even then, after Coleman's block, they had another good look at it
Posted by Blazer
|
That ref's parody account has not forgotten:
Posted by Chuck Woodaby Breeding and Roberts have a bad history with Hurley. It was decided before the game that they would have none of it. That was one of the weakest techs I’ve ever seen, and I was the one to tech Illinois for hanging on the rim

Posted by illini21

1996 Chattanooga also on the list. 1987 Austin Peay on the list. 1989 and 2005 FF games...
Posted by uofi1998
|
I'm not sure, but I'm glad we won't be playing when I'm at work.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
IDK if it changed, but it certainly didn't in 2004.
Posted by uofi1998
|
That ND game still gives me nightmares*
Posted by illini21
|
Like the 2000 Michigan football game... the end of the 2003 season had significant knock-on effects.
Posted by uofi1998
|
I love a good butterfly effect but not sure how either of those games set the programs back.
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
I have long believed the 2000 Michigan game swung our program momentum the wrong direction...

Is their guard who got arrested going to be able to play? He's their best player IIRC.*

you guys aren't going to believe this, but the cops found 0.1 lbs less than the limit to be felony
Posted by John Coctostan

Shocking…
Posted by DocWalk20

Well they played an accessory to murder. This was just weed.*
Posted by ATL

This kid has already been taken off campus though *

Cross him off, then.*

So we know a felony arrest means little.*

Wagler 2nd team AP All America *

Needs 5/9 or something like that to be consensus and get a banner, right?

Last year it was 7 points, he has 4 now *

Nice, officially in the rafters. Wags to Riches.*

Oh my.*
Posted by DiamondDazzle
|
My key is for our coaches to find ways to get some of the pressure off wagler in close games
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
We run offense through Mirk quite a bit
Posted by jdl
|
Not typically at the end of close games when we need points.
Posted by Taz Being an Illini fan is a goddamn curse.*
|
We ran plays for Mirk in crunch against Maryland and Wisconsin
Posted by Blazer
|
Ok, it's not 100% of the time that we play through Keaton. It's still too much, imo

I’ve convinced myself that aside from location, I like our draw clearly better than Purdue’s

You were also convinced that there was a "good chance" we'd "boat race" Michigan*

How do you guys even remember this stuff and attach it to specific usernames *

It’s entirely the grizzle talking but I’m actually nervous about the Penn matchup
Posted by Blazer Again, just the grizzle talking. I hope.
|
38% from 3 is terrifying.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Crazy things can happen but -24.5 is a massive spread. Would take a disaster to lose this*
Posted by OB25
|
I think we will murder them in the paint with Mirk and Dre. Interestingly, Penn and VCU
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That’s just it. Neither team gets to the rim, at all
Posted by Blazer
|
This is one of the few times where I think it is really simple - do we rebound
Posted by Desert
|
Counterpoint argument: we are completely fucked against Houston. Flemings is maybe the single worst
Posted by meanjeans
|
The turnover stat seems like a positive for us.
Posted by OB25
|
Fair enough, I like this angle *
Posted by meanjeans
|
That was my thought too
Posted by Blazer
|
That was my thought. That’s not something we do, so them not providing it to us doesn’t hurt us*
Posted by snipes824
|
Was thinking the same. So we force 4 instead of 7, not an issue.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
You've got yourself fully convinced Houston is gonna run us by 50, don't you?

The Finebaum/Pearl primary for Tuberville’s seat would’ve been some kind of something*

Is Tuberville going to run for governor of Alabama? He might have to move there in that case.*

Unless he changed his mind and I missed it, Finebaum said he was not running*

Yes and neither is Pearl. Both speculated it and then decided against it*

Tomi is truly the guy who makes us go... everybody else just being themselves...
Posted by uofi1998
|
Here’s a fun stat: in games Tomi has at least 1 assist and 1 made FT we’re 11-1. Otherwise 10-7
Posted by meanjeans Or rather in games where he both plays AND does not get an assist and FT we’re 10-7
|
well that seems pretty easy*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
He also opens things up for Wagler somehow*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
Yes. If he can hit some shots, and just as importantly grab some rebounds, it changes us*
Posted by snipes824
|
yes. hit season avg and they have a good chance.*

One thing that roughy mentioned that I do think got lost in the shuffle a bit.

Concern with Houston is that we play them in Houston and their athleticism.*

The teams you play in the S16/E8 are going to be good, not saying I would pick us to beat them…

We play well on the road. Kids get fired up*

Illinois alums are everywhere, and Houston is easy to get to.

Eh, let’s not kid ourselves, it’ll be a pretty brutal crowd. They’re just as thirsty as us, it will
Posted by meanjeans Toyota Center is 2.7 miles from the Fertitta Center It’s as close to a home game as any team will ever have for a regional

The Allstate crowd in 2005 is quite possibly the best/loudest tournament crowd ever.

And the other 2 teams in the bracket will be rooting for us to beat Houston.*

I know the geography down there... it's just not the same. Houston is a city/commuter school.

we have the odds that we do because we have the weakest #1 seed.

Excellent. Duke got the 2:50 eastern slot.*

I wonder what would have happened if we had made it to Sunday against Purdue

I’d love to know where we’d have landed if we just won on Friday.

They pretty clearly mattered a lot this year*
