At least we can be proud of our guys and not be led by some player of questionable character.
Both Arizona and North Carolina are far more legit Final Four material than us. Both went home within hours of us. This tourney is a crapshoot.
Yeah. Think he's the banner recruit for us to get more 5s. His improvement was incredible. I am nervous ablti losing him, because it seems clear he's a leader in oractice...which you need for tjs intense practice style.Not the most physically gifted 5, but no one can ever doubt his effort and dedication. He played smarter every season and even developed some offensive moves. Every season I think he's hit his ceiling, but he just raises it.
He improved soooooo much over these 3 seasons. Hope he gets paid to play some euro ball or something.
Innocent until proven guilty. The university made the decision to suspend him, but he lawyered up.Legit how is Shannon allowed to play, and how do Illinois fans cheer him on?
Oops! Bo Ryan. Sorry... I'm drunkGreg Gard? I like the philosophy but he’s the last guy who should be using that example. Haha
Unfortunately, society places higher value on these sorts of people.. athletes/celebrities/politicians, etc.Legit how is Shannon allowed to play, and how do Illinois fans cheer him on?
How long does this ******* get to spout off his ********? That’s twice in the game threadPlus that type of gov lets people get off for rape. Especially if they're good at something that espn(or Disney)likes.

I wouldn't want someone with that noise on our team. But that's me.
A court forced them to un-suspend him saying it was unfair to cost him his opportunity at money before he's been found guilty somehow (when schools suspend players for things that aren't even illegal all the time). Stupid logic imo.
That doesn't mean Underwood couldnt let him ride the bench though. Coaches have done it for a lot less.
I'm ready to place money on a starting 5 of Lipsey, Gilbert, Jones, Milan and Jackson.
Float Milan between 3/4 running various subs.

I congratulate the squad for their success....We do have to realize for this staff and players, this is the ceiling. And, to be honest, I am cool with that. I would rather see ISU get to this point than not get to this place at all...our team is essentially Frankenstein's monster on stage, singing "Putting On The Ritz". It's funny and real...
And that's the difference.Being honest I can only think of two plays that were sure things that we missed. Keshon’s layup after the steal and King’s missed layup when he had time to catch, land, and go back up and the end of the game.
That was a bizarre game too. Completely got away from what got them there. And it’s not as if it wasn’t working against Clemson too. No reason for the threes.I'd want the coach fired if i was an arizona fan tonight.
And yeah, that'd be an overreaction based on one game, but what in the actual **** were they doing continuing to jack up all those 3s when they were being gifted foul after foul driving to the basket?
Not if you take into account that Illinois shot well below their FT average. We lost the game in the first half when we couldn’t buy a bucket outside of Curtis.And that's the difference.
Agree. Maybe Rock can develop into that guy.Need a big who can shoot from the outside occasionally. That was our one weakness this year.
