Lolol you’re the one arguing why your rankings are the way they are with no backing whatsoever. We are calling you out to understand how you come up with these “rankings” and your only response is “cuz I said so”.

"Cuz I said so" is really the only reason I need. But I said why Oregon and Illinois are where they are. I wasn't dropping Oregon 10+ spots and wasn't raising Illinois into the Top 12 right now. Now next week after beating PSU by 40.... Well I'm assuming they'll do the same to USC so good chance they move up.

They're good teammates, always looking for someone with a better shot. Whether that be Loyer or Smith on the perimeter or TKR in the paint. Miss a couple and you begin to think someone else is a better option. Unfortunately, it can become a habit.

Notice how you listed them looking for a better shot between the big 3. And I think that’s the issue…they have been programmed to do that or at least it looks that way. Which is causing, IMO, a lot of the reasons they aren’t scoring/being aggressive.

Illinois - are they the team to beat?

IMO this is the year the B10 can win it all. Contenders include UI, MSU, Michigan, Purdue, Oregon and 13 others. Ranked teams UI (13) Oregon (15) MSU (16) Purdue (20) UCLA (22) and Michigan (24) receiving votes Nebraska, Wisconsin, Maryland and IU. So that is over half of the conference. I would rule out Minn., Washington and USC. Any of the other 15 have a legitimate shot at winning the B10 Tourney. And for those who think we don't deserve to be a contender consider this 3 of the 4 losses are to teams currently ranked in the top 10 Auburn (2), Marquette (7) and Texas A&M (10). I like our chances as long as Braden looks to score first and throw it in to TKR with his 35 T/O much less.

I like our chances as long as Harris or Cox becomes a dependable ball handler when a defensive-minded team, stretches their defense to the half court to take Purdue out of their offense.

KJ was out tonight and Illinois shot 32% from 3. Won by 39.

Illini defense is really, really good. Didn't see that coming at all.

Ace Baldwin turned into a pumpkin since he played Purdue and finally his flopping ways caught up to him. Hurt himself when he flopped when boswell made contact with him. Without ace, that team is absolute cheeks.

Illinois defense is looking much improved.

Now go into IU and crush their souls. Although, Illinois probably will shoot 15% from 3 and win barely (which will make IU fans think IU is actually good). Then when Purdue plays, Illinois will shoot 16/22 from 3 😂.

But yes, Illinois is looking to be a top contender for sure. I am looking forward to them playing Michigan and MSU, just to see how they all matchup.

I think that the rules are different if a coaching change is involved, but I also don't really understand them.

I thought it was 30 days after a coach leaves, which it's been more than. But who knows, there's probably dozens of loopholes, all designed to make these kids more and more like free agents and not collegiate athletes.

update on portal

I’m wondering did any of the 6 players who entered the portal and then decided to return actually receive any offers? You make a big deal about 6 players deciding to return. But did they even have a choice? Did anybody else want them? Did anybody else offer them more than what Purdue did? I’d like to know who they turned down!

Methinks Purdue was either their only offer or their best offer, so they returned.

I didn’t watch the entire video…but from what I saw, I have to say that I was not overly impressed. Yes he hit the shots he took for the most part but it seemed to me like he took a lot of time off and his effort was questionable at times. Maybe I am expecting too much but here’s hoping he’s going to be great Boiler when he comes town

If they shoot under 33% from 3, they’re beatable. If they hit 16/29 than they won’t be beat.

KJ is very good but still is a Frosh and makes Frosh mistakes. Turns it over a lot, but still, a mismatch and very good.

Will be interesting how we try to matchup with them, going to be very tough.
