Who do you guys have in the Jeff George Bowl? I got Purdue.

[Jailblazers7]

Illinois is really struggling to shoot the ball here in the first half. McCamey needs to find a way to get going if they want to win this game.

Illlinois can't hang with Purdue all things being equal though.

[Skywalker]

Illinois 9:30 without scoring.

wtf Hummel with some Reggie Miller ****

[HisJoeness]

Purdue may be starting to peak t the right time. Weren't they a preseason Top-10?

We're missing our best defender and assist man... Things like this were bound to happen.

[Skywalker]

will they score less than 33 or w/e it was?

Heh. We missed 13 or whatever shots to end the first half. We had good shots just didn't knock them down. They didn't really beat us as much as we beat ourselves.

Credit to them cause they looked determined and ready, but as a jumpshooting team, we're going to have our off nights.

Chester Frazier was out, meaning all things weren't equal. Considering both teams had important players banged up or out in all three games, and considering Illinois was 2-1 against Purdue this year, and considering both teams are No. 5 seeds with identical records, I'd say Illinois can very much hang with Purdue.

Purdue's JaJaun Johnson will be back for junior season, not that there was ever a real shot he'd turn pro

Thought it was interesting: Tim Hardaway Jr. is a sought after recruit of the Big Ten, receiving offers from both Michigan and Minnesota. 2010 prospect; 6'4" guard.

"I really like Coach Beilein," Hardaway said when asked what made Michigan attractive. "I like how they play because they run the same system we do, back door, up and down.

"Coach Beilein is just entertaining, fun to be around. He's one person you can always talk to if you're having any problems, stuff like that. I've talked to him a few times and I e-mail with him."

He was at Michigan's win over Duke this year so that was probably exciting for him. His dad also had good things to say about Michigan.

[wang4three]

He talks like his father.

I keep reading good things about Jared Sullinger who's committed to Ohio State. He's been tearing up the Boo Williams Invitational and I know he beat up on Team Final from Philly last week which is loaded with talent. Ranked #3 overall on rivals and committed to Ohio State when he was a freshman.
