College Basketball 2010-11

[SouthSideRyan]

Practically every damn Illinois game is on national TV and you nerds talk about the team like they're some midmajor that can only aim for Sweet 16s once in awhile.

 

Pretty sure nobody's said anything like that ever.

[SpongeWorthy]

Well you guys exude it then.

 

No reason at all that Illinois can't be an elite program. None.

[Magnetic Curses]

haha byrd getting all honked off at richmond.

That's more like it.

[woodchip2153]

Do Verne and Clark know there is a game going on?

If there's one thing to take out of our reactions in this thread, it's that we're satisifed with the Illinois basketball program.

i don't really know what you're trying to say.

[Magnetic Curses]

was paul even on the court? he needs to be out there.

[SpongeWorthy]

Weber and Zook would've never survived if Illinois' had its sights set properly.

Weber and Zook would've never survived if Illinois' had its sights set properly.

Yeah, we know.

[dalgreen]

Weber might finally be on to something by not giving a lot of minutes to Leonard and Tisdale against athletic bigs.

Yeah, not sure how somebody could get that impression with all the bitching we do about the lack of effort and stupidity that goes on on the court on a regular basis.

[illiniguy]

Can we get a call please? This isn't in Purdue.

[Magnetic Curses]

i like how davis taunts people after a dunk, though.

[Magnetic Curses]

Let's see if he keeps it up, I think it was just because Tisdale picked up two quick fouls.

[Chisoxillini]

Seriously? Purdue hand checks and grabs all the way through the shot clock and we get called for a moving screen?

 

Paul needs to keep driving. Good things happen when he does.

Paul has really turned a corner this year.

i wouldn't mind seeing leonard out there, though.

I agree with you that we should be an elite program like in the 80's and early 2000s, but I don't know where you are getting your impression that fans think we mirror a third tier program.
