DWB Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Doing some skunk work on the Auburn game, and ESPN posted that they will be doing the game from the State Farm Arena. No time set yet. Still thinking of going over to that game rather than coming up to B-town for a cupcake game up there during Christmas break. I think the Auburn game will be super competitive. Parking rates in downtown Atlanta are astronomical ! Up to $50 for events. $15 if you want to walk 1½ miles (each way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found any prices yet. Not looking real hard at this point, but probably will next month. Was thinking of calling the IU ticket office next week.

IUFLA Posted August 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Illinois is on a swing through Europe over the summer...I found this tidbit interesting... "Despite shooting just 9-53 from beyond the arc overseas, they have put up about 90 points per game." That's 17% by the team that finished last in the Big 10 in 3 point percentage last year...and against crappy competition to boot... Now THAT I'd be concerned about 🙂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT I'd be concerned about 🙂 For sure, along with terrible FT shooting. Defense should be really good and transition offense as well. But Underwood has to come up with a viable half court offense, something that's been lacking recently. Lots of depth and size, athleticism. But the PG spot? Eh...

No, was not "taking up scholarship room", was never announced by the program. The dumb part was they wanted him to sit out this season to rehab his injured leg and play next season while they desperately needed a PG this year.

Again, you can frame it any way you choose...Illinois offered, he committed, and then 22 days later he decommitted... I'm pretty sure they weren't shopping the scholarship durning those 22 days, but whatever... Not really worried about Illinois...I saw pre-season rankings that had them at 17, and I truly wonder why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I was looking at Maryland's roster today, and I think there's a really good chance that Jordan Geronimo starts for them... They have Julian Reese at the 5, Donta Scott at the 3, Jahmir Young at the 1, and Freshman DeShawn Harris-Smith at the 2... Unless they play Caelum Swanton-Rogers or Mady Traore at the 5 and move Reese to the 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
