Tommy you are on the cusp of a championship run here, don't mess it up with stupid thoughts on the Illini :lol:

I honestly think there's just an anti-UIUC bias on the board.

Now football....that's a different story.

@FF: I'll take the symbolic L here (even RR abandoned me), but inside, the Lord and I both know the Truth.

I wish you were right. I can’t think of any factor that would get me to follow college basketball during the regular season than U of I being good from the start. I just don’t see it ever happening again. Hope I’m wrong.

Oh, I don't disagree with that :lol:

This is the nadir. I'm a Big Ten (minus OSU) fan anyway.

@312: I love (or used to love) the Demons. Went to grad school at UIC, and tried to like them, but they couldn't get anything going.

Nice spurt by Sparty.

You must be crazy, RR. I just can't figure out any other explanation. Houston's good, but ya can't take thirty years off.

Purdue and Illinois are about the same in basketball. Purdue's not better.

Purdue> Illinois

No question about it, it's just a significantly better program

Purdue's had a lot of shitty seasons. Painter has had shitty ones himself--just as many as any Illini counterpart.

Purdue has Rick Mount and John Wooden. But look at the records for Illinois and Purdue ....one program isn't better than the other historically.

I would like to hear more about this comparison.

There’s no comparison. Just look at the only year that’s ever mattered in sports.

A little weird that Bruce Pearl started breaking down crying over a player getting hurt but I get that’s part of his charm and I don’t doubt the sincerity.

I’ve made it clear I think the NBA is far superior to college and I’ve also made it clear I think March Madness this particular year is pretty boring. And even still I think this is an all time bad take. Just admit you don’t like sports and like being miserable. It’s easier.

Was thinking of dropping this in the sports argument thread but it’s so recent I’ll put it here.

Ryan Cline’s game is one of the more memorable single game performances recently right? I feel like I’ll remember it a few years from now. My 2 buddies are saying no it was just a good night and not memorable. Am I the crazy one here?

The VT coach must be a master of X’s And O’s because holy shit he comes off as a weird and strange guy.

If old timers like Peeps and tommy are comparing his performance to decades old memorable Tourney performances I feel vindicated. Thanks fellas.

See my Draft Prospect newly created thread. He’s very talented but doesn’t play to his talents.

I like Zion. See the thread I created. But I have to wonder if people would be as crazy about him if he weighed 50lbs less? It's just crazy to watch a dude pushing 300lbs jump out of the gym.

A guy built like him who can jump high enough to literally get his entire head over the rim should rightfully be celebrated. Combine that with his underrated basketball IQ and his clear passion to win and you have a can’t miss prospect outside of injury. I cannot fucking wait to watch him in the NBA.

That seems like an odd comp
