I am glad I worked from home today, but the 6 am wake up is whipping my a$$.

Jesus!

Wow, went on Torvicks site this morning and it has us favored in only 3 more games with a 16-15 projected record, 43rd team under first 4 out. I know we are not a great team, but we are at least a middle of the pack team.

Horrible 3rd! Forget it and move on ladies! Get the ball moving like the first half, Illinois can't keep up with the ball moving!

Wow a ranked team lost to a team we beat, would you look at that! Lol

I yelled really loud!

1st half KS bench gets a warning, 2nd half our bench gets a T, then KS gets another warning! Zebras were trash all game. Never heard a reason for our T, hell nothing was said over th PA.

Warm, lots of folks up here. Let's see how this Sparks thing goes!

Well, I will post a report on what I can see once I reach the summit of Mt. Crumpit for the last time in 2023. Wish me luck, lol.

MR needs to work on passing!

You should see his shoes!

Yes sir!

Made it to my perch on Mt. Crumpit! don't know who is more tired, the 11y.o. Or me. Weather report, warm, MM currently leads the B1G in free throw %, saw him dunk it 2xs. X is in street clothes. Newton was hitting 3s from 5 ft behind the arc on 1 foot. Not raining 3s in warmups from others, maybe a good sign cause they hit a lot of them Tues.

Please for the love of all the is holy, win this game in good fashion! I can only take so much drama when I climb Mt. Crumpit to watch basketball games with the mountain goats.

This should be coach's entrance theme! Wow, I hope he is right and gets this program to a level never seen before. I think we will like him, but the media will grow tired of him. I just get that feeling that there is a hint of RMK attitude towards the media buried in there, lol.

I saw a local kid signed with IU back in November and decided to stay with CCC. Caleb King, Pekin, Indiana, 6'5" DE/TE. Not listed on 247, but had interest/offers from IU, Louisville, UK, UIndy, Air Force, Army, Butler, Penn, and Souther Ill. He will be on campus in January as a mid-term graduate.

It has to be a mental thing, Cupps fading back or to the side, to not get blocked? CJ, IDK, but needs to take a chill pill before each game. Banks, I am not as concerned about, his mechanics seem ok, but I don't think when he was recruited that anyone thought he would be a solid contributor until later. Overall, this team just flat out lacks confidence in anything they do and there is no true leader on the floor at any time. Someone, outside of Trey, needs to step up (I love TG, but he is not a leader like that), Walker seemed to do ok at it last night, but as someone else posted, he is a one year rental.

His warm up shots are completely different from his in game shots. At half-time last night, I lost count of how many 3s he hit. All warmup shots were straight up and down, no lateral movement, just a funky shot form, but they went in at a high clip. I assume that most practice shots are the same. You could probably say the same about CJs shots as well, he hit a lot in warmups where he wasn't jumping through the roof and had great form.

I drove an hour and 45 mins! edit: and have tix for Thursday, next Friday... the family next to me literally spent $3 per ticket for tonight.

Idk what is going on, but from up here at Mt. Crumpit, it's not just lack of energy! Passes are not in time, screens and cuts are lackluster, shot selection in the dumps, no commitment to switches on D. This is ridiculous, I know I don't pay as much as some for tickets but it is getting really hard to justify the time and money involved going to games. I hope the locker room is shaking with a surprise ghost of Christmas past a$$ chewing.

Fans just boo'd the team walking into the locker room

Well so far no sign of an offensive set to get someone open.
