IUBB vs. Illinois - Thurs., 1/3 @ 7:00

To be fair, in the scheme they're all just one game.  We don't have an easy stretch coming up, so I'd say this is as 'must win' as it gets.

Ah yes that’s what I was tying to say haha

Romeo is not a OAD. He does not look remotely like one sorry just reality

20 minutes of bad basketball and its a tie game? Another thing I've posted at halftime in about every game.

[HoosierDYT 1,746]

Hey look! We’re tied!

We adjusted and they cooled down.

I’d say we’re in a good position considering we played pretty poorly and they played pretty well and we’re tied at half.

I wish I could go back in time and make mock drafts illegal.

Very nice play by Smith. Happy to take this into half tied. We need Phinisee back

Lucky to be tied.  Hopefully they can come out at the half and play like they did at the end. 

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

Hopefully Michigan takes mercy on us

Its deja vu all over again as Yogi would say.....

His ball handling is much worse than I thought. With that being said, I see no scenario where doesn’t go top 15.

Great size, great finishing, great feel for the game, and I think shooting will follow.

Doesn't bother me. Try and talk him out of it.

I actually agree with this, but it’s not a popular opinion to have. Love him as a player and what he does for IU, but he is not ready. He’ll get drafted top 10 and that’s great. His longevity in the league is the thing I’m worried about.

Hey, we're finally hitting FT's

His lack of a consistent jumper really hurts him, especially his almost complete lack of a 3 point shot.

His shooting is just so bad maybe the NBA of the 90s but not now. Guards have to be able to hit 3s. And being bad at FTs doesn’t help any

And, it seems, the Farting Illini are just daring him to chuck it from the cheap seats.

Atlanta Hawks GM Travis Schlenk, who attended IU-Louisville last month, is here tonight. #iubb

 

 

Mentioned earlier the Hawks are in on Romeo. Saw them at the PSU game

Given our ongoing injury problem and our lack of a fluid offense, if we don't play stifling defense, we are in deep trouble.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,957]

Fool that I am, I really thought tonight would be a breakout night and we'd come out firing on all cylinders.  Of course, I also thought we'd have Rob back running the point.  Happy we managed to tie it up, but still very much worried.   Illinois thinks they can win this game and aren't going to go quietly away.
