THis will be an interesting match up. Butler has taken the long hard road to get there while Illinois has had a pretty easy way so I expect fatigue will be a factor. Groce teams defend the 3 so it will be fun to watch how deeply he has his culture ingrained thus far.  Look for this to be a nice benchmark for each....although knocking off NC was pretty  big for the Butdogs after getting slaughtered at X.  If NC and Georgetown both go down tonite I will be a happy camper. Gravy that most of those kids on IU and Butler are local kids we have been around for years. Nice to see the P s in the crowd.  never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

Been talking about our run and our team for 5 minutes now!

They drive you a bit crazy lamenting how they hate the number of 3 balls going up and that there is no one down low banging. If they try to keep interjecting their paradigms and refuse to go with the flow it is gonna be a long season as a fan. OTOH there are fans that are fully on board going the other way.  We have better athletes and seniors leading our team. Let's stop this nonsense tonight and remind the country that Butler is a mid-major and why we're a high major. And if we can't do that, then we still have a long way to go. I prefer that we thump them. HAMMER DOWN! Those are the ones that make me root for Butler even though I want to see coach do well  Should be a really good game  never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I also agree with the sentiment that he looks terrible in orange.  And it's not that it's not green, it's just a bad color on him.  He needs to emphasize the blue in Illinois' colors.

Is this say yes to the dress or a basketball forum?  Let's be glad and happy for Groce for the success he is having over there.  Keep it up John!!

GW coming from Cancun and Illinois turning the clock back from hawaii.  Illinois with some superior talent but Holtmann engineered the GW win in Lexington so I guess anything is possible. Would the Illinois loyalty board have a conniption if that happened.  Last Edited: 11/22/2012 10:51:45 PM by bornacatfan never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
