Of course I kinda counted on you to figure that out, but I guess I should stop overestimating your intellect... Uhh...no. You said it would be Hawkins and RJ having to score all those points. That's 2 guys. I pointed out that Shannon Jr and Mayer would also be there. Plus a few top 100 recruits, too. That's what happens in college hoops, guys leave and others step up. Someone scores all those points. Not sure which is worse, your math or reading skills. 😂 Since you seem to think Illinois will only score around 30 ppg next year, care to place a wager? I'll take the over.... 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I've met some pathetically stupid Illinois fans in my day, but I believe you take the prize. The obvious to anyone but the dense (you) was that Illinois had 66 ppg to make up, and unless one or both of the players I cited (Melendez at 4 PPG and Coleman at 6 PPG) really upped their scoring, it would be, as I said, "difficult to get there." No one, anywhere, said that only those 2 were going to make up 66 PPG, and anyone who's not been measured for a fit to size dunce cap (like you) understands that. Anyone with half a brain, (not you) understands that other players will score. So you trot out your 2 prized transfers in Mayer (11 PPG) and Shannon (10 PPG). Good. I'm sure they'll get closer, but in my honest estimation, you're still not there yet. And anyone who knows anything about basketball (not you) understands relying on freshmen isn't the best strategy. And I'll end with this... I'm sure this post will upset some (hi @IowaHoosierFan!) and for that I'll apologize to him. I had decided to ignore your dumb ass this year, but it's obvious that you intend to bait me at every turn. So, if the mods are gonna let that slide, game on... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes their trip easier for the early rounds. Put them in a Power conference, their record is not nearly as strong, and they are seeded appropriately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also their conference this year got 4 teams in the tournament so the conference was better this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame the mods for you calling people stupid and talking about their dumbass. Blame yourself for not controlling the outbursts and let it go. I was under the impression that the unwritten rule for other teams posters was that they were welcome, but they needed to be respectful as this was an IU board, and they should expect IU posters to occasionally portray their teams in a not so complimentary light. Apparently I was mistaken... @BruceDouglas likes to comment on any perceived affront to Illinois. His "panties in a wad" comment to me doesn't seem respectful at all... I didn't "blame" the mods. I simply said if that's the way it's going to be, I'm fine with it. And, my apologies to the rest of the board. From now on, I'll promise to simply ignore his vacuous posterior...

Never said you had to be a pacifist or not belittle the Illini.. Just don't blatantly break the rules and force us to react. Come on man. You been here forever. You know how we roll.....why do this?

Yep...and have to deal with the physicality of the conference on a night in night out basis. I don't think they are built to handle that. Scattering games against top tier teams throughout their schedule is much different than playing the gauntlet that is conference scheduling in most Power conferences. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
