clarkwgriswold Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM A little wrinkle in the offense tonight with the bigs screening on the wing to free up a guy in the corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team seems to need to feel a little pressure to step on the accelerator late. I got the sense that they did take the foot off the gas. At one point, Jimmy and Amani were on the bench and Bowen was like the biggest guy out there...maybe kamali was on the court. He wasn't risking injury or something stupid happen.

Illini Zip Posted yesterday at 04:17 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:17 AM I know it’s been mentioned already, but kudos to Groce & Co. for green lighting the Evan Wilson start. Very nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted yesterday at 12:59 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:59 PM Last night everybody was a winner thanks to Bud Wentz. In the putting contest, a new target sign was revealed that was 50% larger and had no target hole. The announcers said all that was required to win the $10,000 prize was to hit the sign. The young lady contestant took aim and sent a straight putt right at it. Just as the ball got there, the helpers lifted the sign and the ball passed underneath. The contestant started to walk away but was informed she had indeed won $10,000! Bud was waiting with the check at the other end of the court. The shot for tuition contest took a similar twist. A student was selected as always who could win a semester of tuition by sinking a layup, a foul shot, a three point shot and a half court shot in 30 seconds. It was then announced there would be a substitute celebrity shooter. Ali Ali! He calmly sank the first three shots on his first attempt. After about 10 attempts he banked in the halfcourt shot and the crowd went wild! Kudos to Bud for thinking outside the box to make senior night special. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me that the $10k putting contest was for the dance team so they can travel to nationals. So students benefited all around! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
