Yep, Texas lost to Chaminade...by 15ish. They're down 15 right now with 30 seconds left in the game.
And is Washington State not very good this year, Kansas this good, or a combination of both?
Kansas was up 50-21 at half and they're going to win by about 40.
R.I.P. UConn AP Ranking
2012-2012
Chaminade - ~2800 students
Texas - ~38000 (they have almost as many academic personnel as Chaminade does students)
I know that doesn't really mean anything, but I still find it funny.
First game I've been able to watch for Illinois. Liking what I'm seeing.
The f***? Does USC suck, too?
Third game tonight featuring two "name" programs that ended up being a 30-40 point blowout. First UNC and Mississippi State, then Kansas and Washington State, and now Illinois is killing USC.
I was really impressed watching Jordan Adams tonight. He's definitely a pure scorer with a complete arsenal of offensive moves. He didn't have a great night from the field but you can see he's got a knack for putting the ball in the bucket that few players his age have. Most guys with his playing style are undersized but he looks to be a solid 6'5" which is ideal for an NBA 2 guard.
Shabazz didn't have a great game but you can see he's oozing with talent and has advanced versatility on the offensive end. He had a few aggressive takes to the basket where he tried to cram it down on defenders. He nailed a long pull up jumper with a hand in his face, he hit a 3, threw down an easy dunk, and scored off a post up.
This is the only Illinois I've seen, but I won't lie, Groce has me scared.

Big Ten is gonna be really interesting this year.
this is from people that don't understand how and why it happened, but it's still pretty funny

Don't worry, they will have time to collapse. lol
Webber was holding them back with boring Big Ten slow basketball. Groce is getting them to push the ball and it's opening the floor for everyone. Too bad Leonard didn't return.
I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. I like the make up of this team with two good senior guards and Abrams and Egwu really taking that freshman to sophomore leap. We are also getting good scoring off the bench with Henry and Bertrand. That bench scoring is something Illinois has really lacked in the past. I'm hoping Illinois and UNC win tonight. I would love to see how we match up with the Tar Heels.
And USC just beat Texas so that's definitely not a bad thing.
UCLA is so small.
This coach and style may hurt Shabazz's draft stock.

O yeah.
they gotta get Mike Shaw in there, too, though. I hate when talented players sit on the bench.
