This team could bust out in the first round but they also have the ability to make a F4 run. I'm excited to see what happens.

Looks like the Friday game will be around a 245pm (ish)start time if the prior game has no overtime

Is Adam Miller known as a shooter? or is he more of an Ayo type scorer? Illini need a 3point shooter in the worst way. I also assume Tevian will probably transfer out, so a scholarship has to be available for a transfer who can shoot.
Congrats to Kofi for winning FOY, and Ayo for first team all B1G
I have to say, I'm happy for Trent. He's been there all this time and this is his first NCAA Tournament appearance. Appreciate him sticking it out instead of bailing like Marc Smith

Just realized that the one link had his comparisons of Tinsley, Deron, and Antonio Daniels. Those 3 players are nothing alike

His style of game reminds me of Cory Bradford, but left handed. Better athlete than Bradford but he's not a dominant run-jump athlete. I don't think he's a PG right now but he could be one in a couple years.

Bradford would have been special but he put on way too much muscle over the course of his career. He was automatic from as a freshman and then never shot the same afterwards

just saw his highlights. He is a shooting guard...so why do people think he and Ayo couldn't play on the same team? Ayo plays the point

Didn't he hurt his knee and lose some quickness?

I'm so pumped about Illini basketball for the first time in a long time. Feels like everything is finally falling into place for us.

I think we can take them. Duke is vulnerable this year. And I've got a feeling our guys would be super pumped for that challenge.
I don't want to be in the Kansas bracket though.

Miller can shoot from all 3 levels and is more physically developed than many incoming Freshman.

Miller will play some PG. too. They can play on the same team. I mean...if Ayo wants to stay, Illinois is a Final Four caliber team next season, but that isn't going to happen.

Trent, Griffin, Kofi, Miller and Georgi are probably your starting 5. Damonte and Curbelo will lead the bench

Giorgii needs to stay on the bench. It's a better role for him, he doesnt get exposed as much. He could be develop into a great 6th man like Damir Krupajalia or Jack Ingram.
