How many jump shots did he take? I only remember him driving to the rim two times, once he had an easy layup and once he got called for a charge. 7 of his 10 shots were from 3. edit: plus the one free throw he did shoot was a terrible foul call. he kicked his leg out at Terone tryign to draw contact and didn't even connect but they called a foul on Terone. There were several times he got to the lane and was crushed. At least 4 times, that play at the end still pisses me off the most, Byrd committed two and probably more infractions, he hooked and pushed off McLaurin and he traveled with the ball while attempting to call time out.

But, but, that's just the awesome defense of Purdue, they, being in the Big Ten in all, know how to play defense like no other team.
-
I believe 9-9 is still a very real possibility and, eat it up Boliers, because your streak vs. the Illini ends in Champaign.
-
If they could have gotten a [expletive] rebound or two, its not close enough that all those BS plays matter.
-
So just foul on every possession? Like every other year? I'm really going to enjoy your meltdown if Byrd goes crazy and hits a bunch of threes. Lol, I was just thinking how he probably will do that. But still, you guys will probably just mug us the entire game. To make up for the talent difference. I believe Big Ten BB Officials reward the more aggressive team, in order to counter Purdue' mugging the Illini need to take the ball to the hoop and keep doing so, they'll get some calls that way.

Packers in the Super Bowl? I'm not so certain they'll beat the Vikings, couldn't stop Peterson last night, don't see them stopping him next weekend.

Week 16 The Desperate Bears @ Arizona Cardinals
gflore34 replied to rawaction's topic in Other Sports
Could an offensive minded head coach make this offense more effective? -
Not counting Maurice Creek, Illinois has as many 4-star-or-above players as Indiana (although IU has two 5-stars in that group). That and this year's start really speak to how poor of a job Bruce Weber did. He also had Meyers Leonard and Crandall Head to use at some point last year. He had as much talent as anyone in America not named Kentucky. He just didn't put together pieces that fit. As stated above their playing to their strengths, we saw flashes of it last season but, inevitably, they stuck with a weakness for them, Weber' motion offense. It really does speak to a poor coaching job, stubbornness or both by Weber.

Savor it Duke, I believe Groce is going to put an end to days of Kentucky, Duke, et. al. plucking whatever player they want out of Chicago and the rest of Illinois. I can only assume that means Illinois will start cheating. Perhaps, we'll see.

Week 16 The Desperate Bears @ Arizona Cardinals
gflore34 replied to rawaction's topic in Other Sports
I'd rather the Bears miss the playoffs I believe that'll be the end of the end of the Lovie Smith era. A large part of the recent losses to Green Bay can be blamed on coaching, an offensive minded head coach doesn't lose all these games. An example - their continued use of Hester as a WR, he doesn't know where to be, cannot run routes, he's never going to get it yet, Lovie keeps putting in a position to fail. -
I'm thinking Noah might be part of a deal for Love and that's OK. When you've got a chance to add true second scoring option like Love you do it. With Love we'll see no more of the Heat putting LeBron on Rose and forgetting about everyone else.
-
Listening to B&B earlier today apparently, there's something bad brewing between the Timberwolves and Kevin Love. So bad that Love wants out and, according to B&B, wouldn't mind playing for the Bulls. He's ripe for the picking, get it done Bulls, a Rose and Love both 24, on the same team will be serious contender in the East.
-
Thus far the Illini are playing a more aggressive style or maybe it just appears so when one takes the ball to the hoop. I know the 3 pts are falling but, Paul, Bertrand, Abrams and Richardson are taking to the hoop more often than last season. What puzzles me is Weber recruited these players yet, he didn't take advantage of their ability to get to the hoop.

Week 15 Green Bay @ Lovie's Chokers (No GB Fans Allowed)
gflore34 replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
You're probably correct but, in keeping close I'd love to see the Bears attempt to run the ball down GB throats. Most especially Matthews I'd run right at him and try to pound the [expletive] out of him. -
A win's a win. We're a flawed team, but at least we kept the bad loss off our resume. We have to improve against the zone though. True, we need to take care of the ball better. Plus we can't have Abrams and Egwu having their horrible games together like that. We need to go kill ga tech now. Do you think last years' squad would have won this game? Because winning something like the Maui Classic and then, turning around and losing to the likes of Gardner Webb was par for the course the last few seasons.
-
I'm still pissed about the Allen hit, that wasn't a good football play or any other of that [expletive], it was an attempt to hurt someone plain and simple. I'm getting to the point where I believe the Bears should start engaging in this cheap shot, dirty play business, they've certainly been victimized by it.
-
Have to like the positive outcome of winning the Maui classic, I believe bigger and better things are on the horizon for the Illini. Perhaps, not this season but, there's been a change for the good. Groce can and likes to recruit, would Weber been able to land Nunn? The Parker ship sailed long ago for Illinois and I could give a rat's ass about him but, Groce has made progress in Chicago. It's going to pay off in the future, it seems Groce has taken the approach I would have - [expletive] what everyone says. I'm going to recruit Chicago and it's going to work.
-
Why hasn't Mark Prior signed there yet? He'd be healed instantly. I thought the same, don that Cardinal uniform and feel the magic.
-
My question is after the Cardinals win the WS, who are they going to get off the scrap heap to play out his ass next year? Mark Prior? Jeff Bagwell? Does it matter? They could grab the best HS player in the St. Louis area and he'd probably work out.
-
Vitters' swing first ask questions later approach won't fly long for the Cubs.
-
wut Thank you as well, you're better than a programmatic spell checker.
-
Thank you, don't know what I'd do without your grammar checks. - Even had to edit this statement, should have ran it by you prior to posting!
-
I'm still finding it amazing the Bears may have a WR corps the opposition is going to have to game plan for, no more smurfs who have trouble getting open and fighting for the ball. After watching the Bears defensive backfield deal with Calvin Johnson the last few years, it's great the Lions are going to get the same treatment from Marshall and Jeffery - it's about [expletive] time!!!!
-
Where's Deng going to be? Is he expected to miss time at the start? If he opts for wrist surgery. Total unknown at this point though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was advocating the Bulls bottom out and qualify for the lottery, with or without Deng the roster above is looking like a lottery team anyway.
