Most definitely, but in my novice view of the NBA, there are plenty of guys that you could find to fill that role in the NBA that could provide more shooting and rebounding than TJD would provide as a rotational player in the NBA. Again I don't watch the NBA, so maybe I'm wrong. I'd take your more educated word for it if I'm off base, but with him not being able to shoot and being undersized for his role, I'm not convinced NBA teams would be eyeing him for that type of role

There are a ton. In his position, hustle, rebounding and defense will be key to him making. Basically, he's got to be his dad. That's what will make him successful. You just have to put hustle everyone. You'll get plenty of time to work on your game, you just gotta hustle.

Down 13 w/ 4 minutes left and our 3 best 3 point shooters are in the bench. 

A bit joking, a bit serious. Keeping it within 10 would save us a couple spots in NET. Now this may be a 20 pt game.

Hmm wondering what would have happened if we started both TJD and Durr.  Maybe it would have relieved Jackson to play his game?

My biggest worry about Woody is his unwillingness to adjust to what he’s seeing in-game. If it ain’t working, pull some strings, change something, stop being stubborn.

Yeah.  Would have liked to see Durr and TJD at the same time.  Let TJD be athletic.

One smart thing Woody is doing is keeping X on the bench. No reason to have him eating useless minutes when we got not shot to win.

Wouldn't have mattered.

Yeah it would’ve. At the very least we would have had a better defender.  Guards drove by Stewart.

KL not even close. 5 star?????

They went on a 32-9 run 

[kreigh8]

17 point defeat is deflating. Thought we'd continue to hold our own, but we just collapsed in the second half.

[TheWatShot]

Illinois in first place and beating the crap out of us...feels like it's the year 2000 again. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Well, not going to let the IU loss ruin a good day of basketball.  Lots of good games today.

[colonel06]

Wow did we get shut the he’ll out when they decided that it was time to take over-just too easy!

[LamarCheeks]

That was a fun game to watch -- for about 26 minutes. 

[chicagoHOOSIER]

What did I miss? Why did Johnson get benched? Thx.

Yup. Illinois is just better. Better talent that’s been playing in the system longer and they have a terrific coach. And when Trayce gets worked like he did today, they don’t have the secondary options to compensate. 

[coonhounds]

I really don't believe he is one but your opinion is definitely respected. Now I agree why do we care because iu basketball has been rough. For me it's because it's all I have really loved sports wise since I was a little boy and pray for a return to greatness. We're not there yet but hopefully we can get back

Alternate uniforms. That’s all I’ll say.

That and Illinois is really, really legit.
