When was the last time Illinois won this inaugural rivalry? Seems like Mizzou has won the last few contests of this series since I've been paying attention.

We've lost the last 3. We won the previous 8.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Refs have decided that fouls are no longer a thing. I think this favors the more physical team (Missouri), but then again Illinois has the more physical guards so who knows

 

[FOOTE]

Crazy game.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Ugh. BP3 needed to take over, and it didn't happen.

 

[FOOTE]

I hope these two meet in the tournament somehow.
Finish this one off.

Mizzou!

 

[Elfforkusu]

Come to think of it, Paul wasn't the same from the moment he got clobbered in the face on that loose ball.

K-State has fallen asleep in the 2nd half. Florida on a roll

 

[goldenticket]

im still disappointed that k-state hired bruce weber

 

[perfectchaos007]

Florida is collapsing on their season already? That didn't take long

 

[bucknuticus]

Wait, I think we just missed another forced 3 pointer

Marshall v. UK
We're going to get our asses whomp'd today by us.

Yep, that's what I mean.

I was at Rupp (won tickets by photoshopping a fake nude of Rick Bozich as Paula Deen) and it felt like Marshall played a closer game than the score ended up showing.

Good to see Harrow playing well. Hope we're hitting our shots next weekend or we'll be in trouble.

Yep, that's our first Top 10 win on a neutral site in over 40 years though.. maybe the team is finally coming together.

You guys played well, but Florida also looked plain miserable out there.

I think UK is really starting to click now. Marshall's early schedule has been pretty brutal, but we'll see how conference play goes.

i think Mizzou has won 4 in a row

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yeah Elf already answered that. Mizzou has won 4 in a row after Illinois won the previous 8.

No basketball at all today sucks!

So who wants to see Nik Stauskas drain 3's in his back yard? Nobody? Ok well here it is anyway. He goes 45-50.

And I really want that backyard court.

 

[jakncoke]

I really hope we beat Cincy next week

Weird. So do I.

 

[jakncoke]

Weird. So do I.

I know my reasons, but what does a Michigan fan have against Cincy? Although I guess it could be us doing better makes your win against us look better.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Just saw the polls. Would have been nice for Kentucky to have been ranked for our matchup in a few days.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yeah its the latter. Same goes for KSU getting into the rankings and NCST staying there. I wish Arkansas and WVU would get their heads out their asses and win some games too.

I don't mind Cincy. I actually really liked that team with Nick Van Exel and Corey Blount that the Fab 5 (allegedly) beat in the Final Four.


EDIT: Saw this on an Illini board and it made me happy.

 

[Jasconius]

Well that was an interesting end to the New Mexico - Cincinnati game! I saw the Cincy player chuck up the final desperation shot and thought "game over!" but then it went in...!

Luckily for us, the game was already over. It was a good thing we had the extra fouls to give at the end or we might have been in trouble.

 

[chuckddd]

 

[Brian Fellows]

And then there were 4.

 

[perfectchaos007]

And then there were 4.

The best of which being Wyoming.

 

[Brian Fellows]

They do have Larry Nance's son who really seemed to want go to Michigan. We chose Max Bielfeldt instead. Don't think we made the right choice on that one.

 

[DominoKid]

this Mizzou/UCLA game is nuts.

Pressy is working on a 20/20. 3 UCLA players have 20.

Haith gonna Haith. crap ass coach.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Kevin Foster from Santa Clara is beating Duke singlehandedly right now.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Mizzou lost HAHAHA.

I thought they looked pretty pedestrian against Illinois.

 

[Flizzzipper]

this is glorious.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke will end up winning this game by 20+, but the final scoreline will not be nearly indicative of how tight a game it was.

Santa Clara came to play

 

[DominoKid]

PJ starting???

:O :O :O

oh its cause Bullock is hurt. i still expect to lose.

 

[DominoKid]

McAdoo is garbage man. Still aint got any more patient on offense this season.

PJ balling. Making shit happen on defense. I wish Roy would just bite it and start him over Strickland but Roy gonna Roy.

Why doesn't Roy start his best five? Macdoo, PJ, Bullock, Leslie, Dexter.

That's what K would do. :/

 

[Brian Fellows]

Watching this UNC team is like watching a Steve Fisher Michigan team from the 90's. Plenty of physical talent but just way too sloppy and undisciplined.

anybody that's seen us play for 5 mins could tell you that. Roy is a dumbass. his rotations & lineups are horrendous this season.

hopefully Roy will realize now that PJ is a starter.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Dieng getting injured may have been a blessing...Harrell is putting in quality backup minutes.

 

[Seth C]

North Carolina proving they have turned the corner by beating a top 20 team who has beaten...oh, no one.

 

[Cubsfan23]

need louisville to win 78-62 for free pizza for a year.....

[PotatoeMasher]

Pretty even game in most areas, but UK turnovers have lead to high percentage baskets for the dirty birds while we're struggling in the half court and missing lots of open shots.

First five minutes of the second are key for UK—can't let the lead get into double digits.

 

[Bowser]

Yes, because UK has so many quality wins, right?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Not sure if UK's players are just too young or are low BBIQ players in general.

or relying on a freshmen class that was the weakest in years, nationwide........

 

[MightyHealthy]

I was sweating the Kentucky run, but I think we've answered back and restabilized.

edit: then refs

 

[iamblades]

3 point loss with that foul shooting and stretches of terrible turnovers, totally frustrating, but the way the team played the last 15 minutes is a good sign.

 

[MightyHealthy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO CARDS!!!
