5 trips down the floor and Oladipo had 3 steals and a tied ball. Also scored 4 points had an assist and was the primary reason for a cutback dunk by Sheehey.

Next 2 trips forced a step out of bounds on a double team and stopped a fast break by knocking the ball away....his turnover led to break though.

Illinois up to 13th in the AP poll this week, a spot high enough where even the most unabashed Illini homer is thinking to themselves "Wow, that seems a little high."

Only fitting that the team that replaced IU on UK's schedule is the team that ends that Rupp winning streak.

 

This is going to be a rough one, from the games I watched there's no PG and Cal's offense relies on that. There's no flow to this group nor a true scorer.

 

This is the price they pay for being a one and done team.

If the price to pay is winning lots and lots of games, making it to the Final Four, winning a national championship and getting to cheer for players like John Wall, Anthony Davis, MKG and I suppose Nerlens Noel, then I want to pay that price.

Do you really though? I mean I can't imagine rooting for a team who attend said university for 1 year (and probably attend class for a semester). You don't even have time to learn about the players, enjoy their personalities, etc. And then they get to call themselves "alumni" of the school? What a joke.

 

I, for one, am happy that Illinois does not have this type of team.

Yeah, that is one of the biggest draws for me. Watching the kids develop and go on to represent your school. I'm not sure that one and done players even complete one full year of classes? I don't blame the kids for taking the money, the one and done rule should die. It should be straight to the NBA or at least 2-3 years.

Sounds like a lot of sanctimonious bs to me. You guys would love getting top players, even for a year. Maybe not Smack. He wants all his players to stay at Purdue for 12 years like Robbie Hummel.

Ideally, I'd like a mix of guys like Paul that are good enough to really boost the program but not good enough for early entry and then mix in some of the one and done's.
