Illinois up to 16 on the coaches poll and Mizzou inexplicably at 10! :shock:
-
So you...of all people...are saying he doesn't look like an lf. How hilarious. How many times have you railed on scouts for using phrases like that and making assumptions like that? How many are there? I get your point, but at the most basic level physical stature is important. If he's some sort of latter day Hack Wilson, he'll be the first. Dan Uggla? He's a 2B, but the point still stands. He's a short power hitter who struggles with contact sometimes.

So I forgot about this until reading back through this thread, but Greg Anthony is an idiot. IU wasn't playing a triangle and 2. They were man-to-man on 3 guys and the other 2 were playing a zone in the lane. The shot they showed where he made the triangle was stupid because as soon as they started moving, the guy in the bottom right went with his man up to the top of the key. Seriously, if you can't see that after playing basketball for 20+ years, you shouldn't be announcing. And good lord was that game ugly the last 10 minutes. UI will be so much better off when they have a lineup of guards who can actually knock down a 20 footer with some regularity.

i think he felt really bad about winning. After all the wins he got screwed out of last because those guys couldn't do things most 7th graders can do, he should never, ever feel bad about winning any game, no matter how ridiculous it may have been. And I don't think I've ever seen that happen. The UCLA player just touched the ball while it was still in the player inbounding the ball's hands. And he got T'd up.

My wife just yelled at me for all the loudness between the celebration of the victory and then the near tears from laughing so hard reading this thread
-
That's been wide open for Trent all night, unfortunately he's apparently too dumb to see it.
-
I don't think so, although my comparison would only be to the Big 12. In the Big 12 they only seem to screw you with questionable foul calls (block v. charge, call v. no call). if this is a standard Big 10 homecourt advantage, then no. This is nuts. This has been a little more blatant than usual, but not by a whole lot.
-
These refs are AWESOME!!!!!111!!!11!! They've been awful both ways.
-
That along with the miss all your free throws strategy should lock this one up.
-
Apparently NU is going with the "if we don't get the rebound, fall down so the refs call a foul on Illinois" plan tonight. There have been at least 2 fouls called that weren't for that so far.

Your bitterness is unbelievably delicious. http://kenpom.com/rate.php http://kenpom.com/conf.php?c=B12 when a fan of illinois basketball talks, i believe the proper response for a missourian is to shut up and look at the floor. Don't get mad at me because we're ranked higher in a better conference, maybe some day you'll get one of those lucky bounces to go your way. That guy's ranking are smoking the Phelps. I absolutely refuse to believe that the PAC-10 is the #2 conference this year. No way. I won't even go into how many teams in the B10 are better than most of the B12. The Big 12 is down this year, much like the B10 was last year, but without a truly dominant team, mostly because Kansas is so young and doesn't have a true PG. The Pomeroy ratings are crap in my opinion. RPI is a little better, but there really isn't a good way to rate everybody since none of them (relatively anyway) play each other.
-
That's exactly what I thought. Schumaker at 2nd? That would be awesome to watch. He might not be too terrible of an option. He was a SS in college.
-
suck it. Illinois might have 1 or 2 losses playing in the Big 12. It's just bad. Not to say the performance this season from Mizzou isn't good or unexpected, but, man it'd be nice to play that schedule just to get a high seed in the tourney.
-
wait, they used a replay for that? i thought they just missed the call live , and the tv guys were rehashing it. Nope, they looked at a replay. They did look at a replay but it was the non-HD picture without the benefit of widescreen. When they came back, they explained the refs only had the lo-def picture and the shot they later showed of the elbowing happening was in the area of the picture you could only see in an HD wide screen shot. Bottom line, the refs never saw it.
-
It's not TJS. It's a different ligament that's torn in the elbow. Don't remember which one.
-
I don't know about that. We're talking elbow surgery here. I feel the same way as you do in regards that this could be an opportunity to land a quality pitcher but there is too much mystery surrounding a guy who now adds elbow to long history of shoulder issues. Plus, is there such a thing as this years available cash? I'm not sure, but if there was, I'd invest it into Peavy before Sheets. I feel a lot better about fixing elbows than I do shoulders. Granted, this isn't the nearly perfected TJS, but it can't be any more involved of a surgery or complicated of a rehab. I'd bet on Sheets pitching well a hundred times before I bet on a guy coming back from a shoulder issue. Say, Chris Carpenter for example. He's one of the few that has had a truly full comeback from a major shoulder issue.

1. Miss nearly every jump shot you take, whether you're covered or wide open. 2. Leave UW's most one dimensional guy alone outside the 3 point line to do the one thing he's good at all night. 3. Rebound like you have concrete in your shoes and the other team is just going to let you have the ball. and finally, 4. Take nothing but 15-20 foot jumpers when you're not hitting them. Don't spread the floor and get it inside, just continue jacking up shots you obviously (at least last night) have no shot at making. And whoever asked about Legion, it's pretty clear he's gone Rich Hill on us and completely forgotten how to put the ball on the inside of the orange metal round thing that's hanging there. I'm reasonably sure it's entirely a confidence issue. The one shot he did make last night was a rhythm jumper where he just came around a pick on the dribble and shot it without having time to think about it. Everything else he had time to look at and missed or it was generally just an awful shot he shouldn't have been taking in the first place.

Yes they did. And it was glorious. It's great when even good ole Rat Face's whining can't make a difference for them.

Swisher over Hoff
mul21 replied to PackLandVA's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
#1: I'm fairly certain he got it cleaned up right after the season last year. But yeah, that would kill them. #2: To the poster who mentioned Jaime Garcia; he had TJS and likely won't do much this year. -
What Rabbit said. She's a 6'1" former USC volleyball player. And she's a long way away from unattractive. He could probably do better, yeah, but he could also be married to a really hot chick who's a total bitch.

Cubs Roster Basically Set - P & C Report in 12 Days
mul21 replied to CubsWin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It really just makes too much sense to bring in Wigginton and send Gaithright packing to Iowa. What kind of contract did he get? Ty would make so much sense because he can play a little corner OF (not well, but he can) and can backup 3rd when Aram has a bad wheel for a couple weeks. That would add thunder from both sides of the plate because it would allow Hoff to stay on the 325 man as well. Bench: Johnson Hoff Wigginton Bako Miles Works for me, at least until Sori or Bradley goes down for an extended period. -
Sounds like the Illini may have some issues going on right now. Apparently Weber cut practice short on Saturday it was so ugly. Davis playing crappy because of lingering tonsilitis, Meacham can't hit the broad side of a barn lately. I'm a little concerned about the 2nd half of the B10 schedule with PSU twice, MSU, Purdue, and Minnesota all left on the schedule and not one easy one among them. Plus they still have to go to Wisky, OSU and NU.
-
Illinois had no business winning that game with the way they shot and played in general, but good lord was that one of the worst officiating jobs I've seen in a long time. and I just loved the overrated chant at the end. Woo, you're now 1-20 against Illinois in the last 21. Go away you weaselly turds. Perhaps I'm just frustrated after watching them play about as terribly as they possibly could. Gotta win 4 of the next 5 to stay in it now.

I hadn't seen Iowa play before tonight. Man are they limited offensively.

What the hell happened to Mizzou last night? Butters? Tiger?
