We may have to hold some tryouts to field a team for Friday at this rate.

Our most difficult non conference games might be the Arizona game. Kansas doesn’t look great right now and UNC hasn't looked impressive this season yet either.

@bluegrassIU Are we doing a prediction thread for this game?

It was free to view yesterday

He definitely seems a lot more decisive in his moves

Very fair point haha. But yeah I would just like to see us try it a few times. I do agree we need to add something to our offense. All the points made up above I agree with. Whatever wrinkle that may be I'm okay with.

Outside of Jay Wright at Villanova and the Maldonado kid at Wyoming, you rarely see guards posting up. I think JHS is certainly capable of doing that given his size and skillset. Good call on that and I'd love to see if we ever add that at some point this season.

Dude looks like a man on a mission right now. He’s showing great leadership and maturity and you can definitely tell he’s polished his skills in the off season. It was interesting to hear tonight that he worked as a guard this summer in his workouts.

Post game media from tonight: Btw, Race challenged Miller to use the word “chicken” in the post game interview and Tamar was tasked with using “banana”

Just having fun… don’t remember if he scored or not but the guy drove to the rim instead of taking a 3

I saw miller Kopp go under another screen…

Hope Leal is ok

None of those would have been techs in the 70s or 80s. Hard to compare the two

I hate complementing Illinois but Shannon Jr is an absolute stud. Just imagine if we had a guy like him at the 3 spot.

For some reason it just stood out in memory to me haha. I saw a few more stat lines like this while looking for the image. Crazy…

I think it was mostly wishful thinking by those who thought it wouldn’t be close (myself included). I picked us to win by 13 but imagined a close game with us pulling away by the end.

Great post. To your point about someone taking it from him for a game, I think it’s much easier to vote for someone else in a blowout game versus a Bethune Cookman for example when you could’ve won the game without half the team. But TJD is gonna be our best player on a nightly basis typically.

Fair point for sure. I’m not saying he was stellar by any means either. It will be nice to see him have some high impact games this year.

I had the same thoughts. Sure he got beat a couple times but overall I thought his D was good. I was surprised to see some people so adamantly disappointed with him.

TJD dang near had a career game, that’ll get my vote every time. Simply dominant.

Mistakes or not at the end, X helped us win the game.
