Which team is a better matchup (IL or Xavier)?
Illinois has the better players and would have a crowd as big as ours there or bigger. I prefer to play X.Which team is a better matchup (IL or Xavier)?
Where can I find the segment they did on pope pre game?
The question is why?RE: the ball
KSR guy was talking to Robinson and Almonor and they both said they like the ball fine but NCAA over inflates them for the tourney.
On average, our opponents shoot 43% of their shots from 3. It's one of the highest rates in college basketball. The game could come down to a 3 point lottery. The number of three's Illinois makes in 40 attempts may decide it.
Illinois has a high ceiling. They've had some impressive wins.Illinois has a likely lottery pick and another first rounder on their team.
Z’s brother is their 5 and is a good passer, shooter and rebounder. He’s bulkier than Z and could give Amari some trouble on both ends.
Amari trying to delicately weave flower stems around the rim rather than dunking the ball is 80% of the reason why we won the game by less than 25.
Anyway, we crushed the spread and won ugly by 19. I'll take that. In all, it's a 23 point improvement in margin of victory since last year.
Ah! That could explain a lack in confidence finishing.Matt just said that Williams had a back strain that he suffered yesterday in practice.

(and having to explain cornhole to the locals. It's cornhole people, not Level 2200 chess... )
Reminds me of how we closed out the Wisconsin game in 2015Oklahoma cuts it to one then proceeds to shoot Kobe fade a ways the next two possessions
We are an initial 1 1/2 point favorite and play at 5:15.If Illinois wins big, we may open as a slight dog against them. Good chance it's a pick'em.
