What a nasty block

Concerned with Clingan's weight and injuries, but he's got some shot at being Rudy Gobert with slightly better offense if he can stay at 265 and stays injury-free.

Can't teach 7'2 with mobility and length.

Can't beat the refs. Attacking Clingan at the rim might be a 1st half tactic, not now.

I mean, the issue is that he's been mobile for an entire one month this year due to being overweight recovering from injuries.

UConn is just on another level

These Illini guards got no vision and don't think about passing once they get down hill.

Illinois coach shows no ability to scheme and make adjustments. I thought it was interesting when he said in 1st half interview "we don't gameplan for Connecticut. We are who we are and we'll play the same way". This was half way through 1st half.

I find it hard to judge college bigs because everyone else is so small and they can park in the paint so their mobility issues can be masked. Unless they show outstanding attributes like great shooting form, post moves, exceptionally quick feet, or athleticism.

Never seen anything like this

Well, looks we are getting a repeat of last year.

Me either. Let's hope that's a good one. If Clemson plays a slow game, it'll be ugly and Bama loses. If they play fast, Bama has a chance. Clemson is the fav here. Already beat them once.

Another flop by UConn. Refs falling for it.

jkvonny · Post #980 » by **jkvonny** » Sun Mar 31, 2024 12:05 am

Geez. The Aztecs did much better than Illinois, even lead UConn for a bit in the 1st half. Before UConn turned it on in the 2nd half, pulled away.

Illinois? They pretty much were dominated the whole game, huge mismatch.
