Man I really wanted to like Groce, but that was awful. I'm starting to wonder if he's the guy.

Says the Iowa fan. I would say the same about illinois athletics but I can't remember the last time I cared about them. Or when they last mattered. As far as trolling goes this is pretty weak.... Any weaker than holding on to an issue from before most here were born? And if anything time has proven Bruce Pearl to be above reproach.

You haven't won a tournament game since pre 9-11.

The Iowa crowd chanting NIT last night at us was amazing, you haven't won an NCAA game since 2001. Since then we've won 16 tournament games and we've been pretty mediocre.

I haven't seen a raping like that in Iowa City since Pierre Pierce was playing. That said, we sucked. Thanks for showing up Malcolm. Starks 0 assists and 6 turnovers. Groce not landing a point guard is going to get him fired.

The home court advantage is so ridiculous, certain gyms the referees just flat out aren't giving the road teams a fair shake.

at this point it's a much safer bet to just assume they'll be great forever. one season under .500 since 2000. World Series hangover It's rare for a cardinal to have a hangover.

That's a good point.

Yes he is, probably not when he's sat for a month and playing with a cast on his hand however.

No black, but tons of rice. Terrible.

Well this loss would kill us.

Big win, hold serve at home and we might be dancing. Really good job by Groce keeping this season afloat.

Sorry I'm late to this. I have not seen Coleman since he left Indianapolis Cathedral for La Lumiere. So I'm projecting a bit more than I'd like, but I would suspect he'll be able to play right away. He's a good athlete, long-armed, and has very good all-around skills. He took a lot of mid-range shots when I've seen him (not really meant as a complaint, he's a very good shooter--he just didn't really get to the rim often). I wouldn't expect him to be a star immediately but I'd be pretty surprised if he's not ready for significant minutes. Not necessarily as a direct player-to-player comparison, but, using IU freshman, I'd expect him to be more akin to what Robert Johnson has given IU this year, as opposed to James Blackmon, Jr. (and I do not mean that as an insult, Johnson has been quite good). Thanks for the response. Blackmon is the name I've often seen him compared to, so it's interesting you don't see him as the same type player. All in all he's closer to what I expected, solid but not a star immediately. I guess the good thing is that Groce keeps stacking those type of players and eventually when he has some of his own upperclassmen we should be improved, that is if he can ever add a legit point guard. I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Tate's progress this year. He's been getting more aggressive going to the hole lately too. He's fine as your backup, if he is your starter I can't see you finishing in the top part of the league.

Damn, RIP Ernie.

You'll beat us by 6-8. But, men's golf starts soon. It's all going to come down to whether or not Illinois hits the wide open three's. If you hit a good share of them you'll win. Aaron Cosby out for two weeks. That's a third starter. Athough Csby has sucked so far this year.

To be fair Northwestern had the 2nd lowest Steal% in the nation ahead of only Quinnipiac. And I would have handed the ball to the Northwestern defender on that 1.2 second in bound pass. He'd take all his time trying to corral it and wouldn't have a chance of getting off a shot. That was still pretty impressive, sad though that we did that and only beat Northwestern by 5, or whatever it ended up. Hopefully that was the start of Cosby becoming the kid he was at Seton Hall.

Yes, and it could have been the right call. I'm just thinking in the big ten the home team is getting that call no matter what. Our conference sucks.

Now I'm wondering if OU is the best team in the conference. It'll be you by the end of the year. Sure doesn't seem like it watching this game. I'm amazed how quickly you get the benefit of the doubt of a fifty fifty call while on the road.

I loved when kamisky acted like he was shot by a gun and then awarded two free throws and the ball.

So it's between KU and UK? He never took an official to champaign.

Any of the Indiana guys on here seen Coleman-Landis play? Is he gonna play right away and be able to score for us? If not Groce is gone after next year, IMO.

They have screwed up every different type of call you can so far. It's just ridiculous. I man it doesn't matter we suck, like we have since Dee Brown played for us, but I'd sure like to watch a game that wasn't over whistled.
