Illini win this one 84-63. DJ Richardson played extremely well. 23 points (8 coming in one stretch that sealed the game for the Illini).
Keller was pretty much nonexistant, even on the boards. I thought he played well in the first exhibition so I was a little disappointed.
Mike and Mike played within the offense. Tizzy got to double digits scoring, but

I didn't like what I saw from either one of them considering the opponent they played.
Tisdale really didn't score much. He rebounded okay but considering the opponent, it's tough to tell if this is things to come or just a trick like Illinois's 1 football win. Shot like 1-6, looked a little sloppy out there.
And Legion was an even bigger dissapointment. Not only did he

Half the fun of talking recruiting is speculation! Trying to figure out the liklihood of a certain player making a decision within a certain period of time. That being said, everything that you see, read, or hear must be taken with a grain of salt. As I am sure that we all are aware, many so-called inside sources have "promised" things that have not come to fruition.&nb

In response to another poster's question, I decided to start this thread. I think you have to define exceptional in the NBA first. I would think that would require at least one All Star appearance or have a career longer than say...twice the average career. I dont know if being in the Hall of Fame is all it takes. I would say that is more than exceptional. But, that i

It appears that Josh Langford was not happy about the level of attention/committment he was getting from Louisville. I guess he wasn't feeling the love....
Here's an article with some details:

Is CBS Sports going to add Jeff Jordan to the roster ? I know he was a late addition but how hard is it to add a player ?

While most fans of this years team are concentrated on the likes of the freshmen, Dmac and/or legion I firmly believe Rich Semrau is going to be the biggest suprise of this years team. I have seen this team on two separate occasions this year and he has impressed me the most I believe he will steal a lot of minutes from Mike Tisdale simply because of his ability to get inside and get boards and to

With all the talk about the team how far do you think the illini will go this year me my self i'm thinking elite eight with the returning starters the 09 class stan simpson and even a returning jeff jordan i think we have the tools to make a deep run in the postseason what makes us diffirent from purdue and mich st that we are overlooked on the national scene we had a second place finish last year

Did everyone see the TNT commercial for their NBA coverage with Williams and the guy from the office in a cab? Pretty good stuff. Nice to see an Illinois alum getting that kind of promotional attention. Even more proof of how good that guy really is.

I gotta admit I am a U of I fan but I'm not into college sports to the degree I am with the Pros. So forgive me if this is "old news" but I thought I'd at least take a chance and share it anyway...

Illini commit, 4 star SG Crandall Head had an MRI done on his injured knee (it happened a few weeks ago) and it revealed a torn ACL. He'll miss the entire season. It will be about 3 months before he can start running and jumping some on flat ground. 2 months for dribbling.
Tough setback to lose out on your senior year, and what would've been a big year in his development before colleg

I read an article analyzing this years basketball team vs. last years team. The article caused me to think a little. Their premise was that we will have a hard time working the ball inside this year because our best two three-point shooters (percentage wise) graduated. This is because teams will dare us to shoot from outside and pack their defense in tight.

Jordan is now officially back on the team, and we can definitely use some depth, defense and experience at the PG position.

I recently read that Bradley Beal (as well as his entire HS team) will be attending KU's Midnight Madness event on Friday night! First off, what a smooth move by Self to invite the kid's whole team to the event. That kind of increases the chances that he will come! It's not like he would go to another midnight madness, when the rest of his team is at this one event. However
