9-9 in the B1G will get us in. Of course, we are currently 1-3.

Grayson Allen needs to get away from basketball and get the professional mental health counseling that he obviously so desperately needs.

FWIW, we watched McRoberts from the 1st row during early team warm-ups in-person twice. He's got a very good form jump shot; one that hits net as well as anyone on the team save for JBj and RoJo. Gotta believe that the light will go on and he'll start pulling the trigger sooner or later.

We. Can. Do it.

Beat Ohio State. Oops, wrong thread...kinda [emoji3]

Ummm...New Mexico has the ball up 14 with 1:10 left at home over the weekend against Nevada. Then, this happens:

As one of your faithful followers...GET BETTER SOON!! "BtownBanners by Braille" for a week for you!

Kobe wants sports columnists to become experts at "understanding psychological behavior" instead of reporting what happens and giving opinions as to what they think of it?!? I suppose they should have attempted to understand his 'sexual assault while married' instead of judging it. What utter, complete nonsense. Kobe Bryant should be embarrassed to read that drivel, and even more ashamed that he is the one who spouted it.

Freddie is starting to defend quite well, and can do so at multiple positions. However, would only play him when both JBj and RoJo are also on the court, and as many have said, never at the same time as McRoberts.

You're right; Brooks should be looking at his first suspension with additional similar conduct to bring substantially harsher suspensions, and Grayson Allen should be on his fourth successively harsher suspension. Agreed?

I think Groce is not good at all, but Illinois has been much better lately.

There are very, very few people that follow Illinois basketball that would agree that Groce is a better tactician and bench coach than the fry cook at your local McDonalds.

Did he get his degree? If so, there is no reason for him to stay. If not, he should have stayed until he did.

Seems spot on to me.

Nips is all aboard back on the Tommy Crean Train!!! (okay, he's not. But hey heeeeeyyyyy, thinkin' we can get it done against the stinkin' Illini!)

Time to show her who's boss. (Hint: she is.)

It's a message board; I'm not questioning your right to say what you want, but I also feel free to call it the way I see it. So, I don't think it's funny; I think it's low class. I also think that Tom Crean is a good man with integrity, but that he is not the right coach for IU.

Don't matter if it actually happened, he's on a random "I hate Tom Crean" roll. lol

^^THIS^^

Jeez...if you guys are gonna resort to name calling and personal insults of IU's basketball coach, take it to Rupp's Rafters. What's next after "Clappy", references to him kissing his son on the cheek? Not okay, even in the Fire Tom Crean thread.

Save those tickets for IU fans!

Given that we all pretty much agree that currently the CTC era is NOT going well;

Because when you are a football school, it is never too soon to start the drumbeat of victory.

Toughness is not our problem this year, in my opinion. Heck, we're out-rebounding everyone! A lot of the same guys who seemed tough last year are playing lost at times. Our problem this year is that our guys are "playing unprepared." That having been said, this year's team STILL has a better chance of winning a national championship than last year's team.

I thought that last year's team, with Zeis, Yogi, Max, OG, Juwan, Niego, Collin, TB, Troy, Burton, and Rojo was also a complete joy to watch once they hit their stride.
