I disagree with the theme that Cal is a great recruiter bad coach. I don’t care what your talent is taking a new team almost every year and making them competitive is good coaching. I bet this group will be competitive by tournament time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed he has his usual bushel of HS all Americans is that not the case this year? Cal hasn't had to do much teaching since his UMass days. Since he's gone the one and done route, there's usually at least one guard that is a serious matchup problem. That makes offense easier for everybody else. That guard may not exist on the roster this year. They've got some really tall guards but none of them is a consistent outside threat.

3star_recruit Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Great win by the Tigers. They are definitely in the illini's heads. After looking awesome for most of the 2nd half, Ayo played like straight garbage in the last two minutes. Our ascendance into the top 25 has been delayed.

brianstl Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The Illini with that much talent had no business losing that game. Mizzou is better than last season, but that is two years in a row that Underwood’s team has had a distinct talent advantage and managed to lose.

Ayo was pressing mightily those last two minutes as thoughts of leaving the Bragging Rights series winless danced in his head. In hindsight, they would have been better off letting Curbelo call the shots at the end. He's got eyes in the back of his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I have zero doubts in my mind that we’re the best team in the “area” (neither of the teams that played tonight are in our area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, I think the Illini ultimately lost the game in the first 25 minutes when they let Mizzou set the pace and they didn’t pound the ball inside to Cockburn to take advantage of limited minutes Tilmon was able to play. I sometimes wonder about Underwood. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man up, Illini. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Holly Hills Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 MU is better than everyone thought. Tilmon would absolutely dominate us if Has ever got in foul trouble or had to come out. But I still think we are the better team. They don’t have two guys that can put it in the bucket like perk and Jimerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Has look like he’s never fouled before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
