Illinois matchup

[CloniesForLife]

I've only watched a few of their games but in those games there was a whole lot of Shannon hero-ball, he's a big fan of the one-man fastbreak.

They have some good support pieces. Guys that are definitely above average offensively, but without Shannon I don't think they make the tourney.

Definitely prefer that

How will we corral Shannon? What will we attempt to do?

Guessing Keshon will get the assignment first. Shannon has 2 inches on him, so if he gets going then I am going to assume Watson will get lots of PT on him.

My whole family besides me went to Illinois I grew up a fan.

What changed? ISU grad school? Are you an Illinois native? (Just figuring out who we're dealing with here. Heh ;-)

I assumed but couldn’t find anything to prove it. My schedule prefers it.

The bracket the TV folks showed at the end of our game said Thursday on it.

Clones by 18, I don't see it being competitive.

If we win by 18 I will send you $100

I hate this situation Illinois is my team. But Go Clones.

Are you a pothead?
Do you smoke crack?

My whole family is from Illinois so they went there. I grew up in Iowa and didnt want to pay out of state tuition. My Sister got a track scholly thats why she went there. I chose ISU. My parents are huge ISU fans and have season tix even though they are Illini grads. My old man donates to ISU and the college of Ag also. So I was basically born to hate Iowa.

So much scoring in transition, but we don’t turn the ball over like this. So….

If anyone is interested in the Illinois perspective. Went to HS with Werner, he’s a good dude. Basically the CW of Illinois from what I’ve gathered.

I get it. Many in my family like the Hawkeyes...but none of them went there.

I do enjoy the occasional gummy.

You do know there’s no law that says you have to keep considering them family, right?

Also an Illinois native (don't mention 2005) and I'm just awaiting the texts from my dad. No family attended but he's always been a fan. I can't recall these two playing in a while.

I heard that's good for weight loss?

I grew up with Arizona being my fave non-ISU team, 2005 was a great year

Boo you *****

My initial gut says this is similar to Virginia vs. us in Chicago. We slowly grind them down and win my 7-8. It will be a tough game.

That sets up UCONN/ISU. Which will be the most talked about game of weekend and on Saturday night in prime time and will be an absolute banger.

Shannon is the real deal and he is playing well, Illinois has good size, and can move the ball well. Defense at times is an afterthought, but when they are hitting their shots, they are as good as anyone in the country.
