  1. 34 is the most points they've scored in a half this year.
  2. Nearing the end of the first half and Illinois St. is up 27 - 24 over pUKe.
  3. 12 offensive rebounds; they are killing us on the boards.
  4. JBJ having a career game so far with 17 points already although it is against a very inferior team.  Which JBJ will show up for the Duke and ND games when the opponent has a much stronger defense?
  5. Alcorn with 16 of its points 'in the paint'.
  6. This game should already be way outta hand.  Why, when the General was coach....!  :cheese:
  7. We're shooting the lights out so offensive rebounds for us is meaningless; however, we've let Alcorn get 7 offensive boards already.
  8. Hopefully the team realizes it's a 'cupcake' and not a 'turnover'!    Would love to see 35 minutes of high quality b-ball and then turn the game over to MSB and his benchmates.
  9. The weekly polls don't mean a lot to me until we get into February but having fallen out of the top 25, will our team re-group and crawl their way back in?   Once again, we all know there is talent on the team, but is that talent going to start playing up to its talent level?  After Maui, I'm not at all optimistic for the Duke game and only somewhat optimistic for the ND game and any B1G road wins.
  10. I think the counter argument is that the worse it becomes at IU, the more attractive the job could be because whoever is next in line will be viewed as a savior for at least 2 years.  The next coach certainly won't be in the position of following a beloved and revered coach.
  11.   The new Illinois school song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE
  12. I can't fathom any coach jumping from 1 in-conference school to another in-conference school.
  13. The cart is so far out in front of the horse with the Stevens talk the poor horse would need a Segway to catch up.  IMO, it ain't gonna happen. 
  14. From the Urban Dictionary and the word 'rank':  disgusting smelly nasty ugly gross foul stinky smell stink dirty putrid stench So yes, I believe after our performance in Maui we are definitely a 'rank' team!   :rtfm:
  15. They aren't winning the game but PUke fans are beating us on their Hammer and Rails game day thread as they have over 700 posts and we're still under 600.   But, our posts are much more civil.  To say the least, they are not a bunch of happy manure flingers today.    POTFB!   And we have!
  16. Final 90 - 58.  A great  way to bounce back after yesterday's loss.  4 girls in double figures led by Buss with 23.
  17. 34 - 39 IU at the half.   POTFB
  18. This is just so so sad in so many ways.  It's a small sample but not one of us at this point has picked an IU victory.
  19. Blue Weevils   87   Turnover Machine IU  70
  20. The pretenders who wear candystripes   92   Acorn Heads      62
  21. Oooooh, I love committees.  First of all let's start with an unwieldy number of people who clearly dislike each other.  Then let's pick people who are so geographically far apart that getting them together to meet is a near impossibility.  Finally, don't give them any deadline.      And always remember a camel is nothing more than a horse designed by a committee.   If Fred Glass doesn't have a head coach prospect list for every IU sport he's not doing his job.
  22. Phinisee scored 14 points (only stat I found) in McCutcheon H.S. 101 - 41 season opening win against Western. 
  23. Lost 63 - 56.  Only shot 29% from the field and just 20% on 3's.  They play Austin Peay tomorrow.
  24. Well, I think he does still have a scholly burning a hole in his pocket.
