He had one of his players guard the ref and when the ref went to Groce he told him that he'd told the kid to guard the guy in the gym that was hurting them the most. That's hilarious. 2 1 2 Quote
1981 grad Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 For those on this board that have been complaining about the attendance, I just got 2 extra tickets and we had to move my season seats so we could sit together and my ticket agent told me they were expecting the biggest crowd of this year and it was mainly Akron fans. I told him maybe they should schedule more afternoon games and ditch the night games. He told me that was above his pay grade. Looking forward to a loud jar tomorrow. 5 Quote
Illini Zip Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 I know this is just a single regular season game, but it feels bigger to me. Quote

On behalf of the fans who enjoy a couple beers and some wings before a Saturday night home game, I say “nay” to standardizing on Saturday afternoon games. 2 Quote

Agreed. I prefer evening games. Make a night of it. Quote

GP1 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 I prefer discussions of food and booze over NIL or any of the other crap college athletics has become. Start times between 4-6 PM are ideal for what I like to call a Bang-Bang. This is two suppers. One supper is consumed mid to late afternoon, while the other is consumed after the game in the evening/night. Two o'clock is too early to execute a proper Bang-Bang. 1 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted January 25 Author Report Posted January 25 I wouldn't want a full diet of Saturday afternoon games but I like one occasionally. It has a college basketball sitting in front of the TV listening to Enberg and McGuire, kids going crazy in the stands, feel to it. Oh, and yes, I'm old. 1 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Best start imaginable. My scouting report of Miami at the start of the season is holding true. They do not have the athleticism to overcome poor shooting vs athletic, good shooting teams. 2 Quote

Illini Zip Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Groce walked off the court with his arm around Tavari. I expect that last pass was the topic of discussion. Quote
