The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I think you got a good hire in Groce at Illinois. The Big Ten has so many good basketball coaches. I think Collins will do well at Northwestern if they are patient.
My seats last night here. So much fun. Our new arena is great.
For PJ I was right above the ast coaches and two sections over.
I wonder which one I am? New Rangers hat.
The arena is very nice, but it was a shit show getting into the PJ concert (took me almost 30 minutes of standing in line). Why in the word are the elevators leading to the upper deck halfway between the two entrances? Causes unnecessary congestion.
I do agree with that. They were not prepared and agreed that makes no sense with the elevators.
All of that being said, I would like to see a Nebraska hoops game there. I always had fond memories of going to Devaney for state basketball tournaments.

Great environment and I'm still amazed how loud it gets at the new arena.
I did not dislike Devaney but it was time for a new arena. It was kind of your ugly kid. You love him because he is yours. Lots of good memories at Devaney. They have made some good changes to it for other sports. Also, the new basketball practice facility is right there now.

I like Groce and alot of Illinois' talent. I just wish they didn't have so much trouble closing games out. Seems like a recurring theme, but they have quite a few young guys and were left without their main upperclassman, when Abrams went down. Not a big fan of his, but I think he could have a stabilizing effect for those times when they're trying to hold a lead down the stretch.
They built alot of momentum down the stretch last year, but alot of it doesn't seem to have carried over.
Malcolm Hill is gonna be a pretty nice centerpiece. Probably the best they've had in awhile.
I think Egwu being a real inside force on offense would do wonders. I wish he was as decisive with his inside game as he is with shooting outside jumpers. Nice presence on d, though.
Hoping they can hold it together and Rice can come back by postseason. He seems rattled by Big10 play at times, but he's a tough player most of the time.

Tough L for the Terps last night. I think Groce will do really well at Illinois after a couple more classes. We got them here Sunday.
God, they were hot garbage last night. I put a lot of blame on Turgeon. No excuse for them to come out of the half and play the worst stretch of basketball they've played all year.

For real. Rutgers lost at home to Northwestern two weeks ago. My Skerbies kicked their asses last week. Any given day/night with college kids. I scored tickets today for our game next Tuesday against Minnesota. Not as good of seats as above but still good seats. Excited to see Pitino's kid coach.
