Sometimes I can't believe how fundamentally challenged some of the players seem to be. The problem is I'm old and remember great teams from my "yoot". 😂 And I realize the game is played with more emphasis on individual moves/abilities, but...sometimes I'm amazed at what I see being called a team sport. 😂 Edited December 24, 2020 by jv1972iu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch nearly as many games as I used to, Growing up in the Louisville area, I used t5o watch every IU, UL, and UK game. And, as an extension, I would know the starting lineups for every team in their conference as well. Back when Louisville was in the old Metro conference, we used to get Saturday doubleheaders. Nothing better than a Southern Miss / Tulane battle royal. We would also get SEC doubleheaders on a different channel. I watched quite the number of Vandy / Mississippi State tilts as well. Now, I can barely name a single player on any team outside the Big Ten. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry to hear that at many levels. To have to suffer twice from it is a raw deal. Plus, I’m surprised the antibodies didn’t bail you out. Regardless, I hope you get better real soon and your family stays safe. I’ve told you before but I’m very impressed with the way you are a family man, including taking care of your parents.

Yet both teams shot a great %...58% for Illinois and 61% for PSU. 5 TOs for Illinois...6 for PSU...6 fouls for both. But it sure looked like AAU much of the time...racing out of control. 🙄 It's just me I'm sure.

PhinithreeMagic Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Illinois this year reminds me of some of Crean's teams. Bunch of talent but slow the game down and force them to play defense for 20+ seconds every time down and you'll wear them down. If we had Brunk to throw at Cockburn, I would feel really good about our chances with them this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhinithreeMagic Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Maybe I've just been spoiled by our defense so far but this is the most porous effort defensively I've seen all year. Do not miss this at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Good Lord...I never thought I'd say Trent Frazier was the second worse decision maker on the floor in any game, but with the Curbelo kid out there, I'll be danged if it isn't true...
