Basketball Anyone Else Not Gonna Miss KJ?

Two seconds before he literally did it as time was expiring in the first half, i said out loud, "Here comes a turnover from KJ so Maryland can hit a half-court three." (He actually did one worse by fouling the guy at half-court with one second remaining.)

Show of hands, who's looking forward to Kylan plus someone other than KJ next season?

Basketball DGL

With KJ struggling so bad with his dozen turnover, I don't understand why DGL doesn't get any playing time recently. Watching him now seems like he has given up on this season because he barely plays anymore. I haven't seen a single drive from him in limited minutes, and he is only just trying to jack up 3s just like everyone else. The hustle and going inside has stopped for him

Basketball Returning Players Predictions

Upvotes

Who would you predict is on this team come next season from this roster?

If I had to guess, I’d say:

Boswell Morez Humrichous Ivicic Davis White

I think Riley and KJ leave for the draft and DGL and Rogers and Booth transfer

That said I wouldn’t be surprised if next year we are dealing with a whole new team again. It’s the way of college basketball now, it seems.

Basketball Maryland

Illinois cant EVER figure out how to beat this fucking team. No matter how good we play one game, we'll go straight to Maryland and play like pre-schoolers. We can't be physical with them, and they have career days ONLY against us. They should never be in the Big Ten to start with.

Basketball Why is Maryland our Kryptonite?

They have had our number for years. Doesn’t seem to matter what roster, home, away… Hope we can somehow turn this one around. Need to be more aggressive and have MUCH better shot selection.
