Dainja's dad Dana Jackson is from Chicago and used to play for Simeon and the University of Minnesota back in the day. He used to spend summers here when he was in elementary school. One day during the summer about 8 years ago he walks in a High School gym where they were having an open gym run for High School players. He was in 8th grade at the time and just dominated and the coach of the team (whose a good friend of mine) later told me how he thought he was looking at the next Demarcus Cousins basketball wise.
Hasn't exactly panned out that way for him but he still looks like a solid college player.

Congratulations to Illini fans on the win against Iowa State!

Prepare for your team to be sent home in a body bag after they are annihilated by UConn.

That is all.


I hope you are wrong but sadly I don't believe you are.

if that kid gets charged or convicted of sexual assault do the illini fans care if he gets them back to the final 4?

I haven’t been this excited for a game in a while. Just hope they can keep it within single digits with ten to go. Truly don’t believe they will get crushed but just want them to have a semblance of a chance with some time left. Should be very interesting to watch.

Not that anyone gives a shit, but my kid traveled to Boston with the orange Krush to see the Iowa state game and hung around in Boston yesterday planning to watch todays game in a bar somewhere. This morning the university comped him the the other Krush who made the trip courtside seats to tonight’s game, right under the basket next to the band. Kid is on cloud 9, I just hope it’s a game so he and his homies can get a little crazy and have some fun. It’s a tall task, I just hope they can hit their open looks early and make a game of this. Can’t have a slow start or its could get ugly early. I hope they come out aggressive.

I’d love to see Rodgers break out and have a solid game. He’s due and they are going to need him.

Coleman Hawkins has popped up on quite a few mockdraft boards over the past couple of seasons. I've never understood why

Yeah they were tight but these last 5 minutes have been pretty good. 15-13 after that start? I’ll take it.

Yeah and the big lead was a due to the big guy pounding them down low. It seems like Underwood is going to match Dainja up against him every second of the game the rest of the way. He should start him in the 2nd half.

He can't play Hawkins against the big fella. And it isn't Hawkins fault. That's on Underwood. Terrible coaching

Boy I have been wrong about Rodgers thus far. He’s been awful.

Yep. If they stick with Hawkins they need to double down and take a swipe at the ball.

Wow. Underwood was asked how they would handle Clingan and he basically conceded that they can’t (“he’s 7’2” and quick), but “they did well when he was out”. Smh

They’re scared to death of Clingan. I’d like to see Shannon dunk right over him (that would make him a lot of money) but it doesn’t feel like that’s going to happen.

Illini are exploiting a few mismatches too. Damask is solid. Shannon has to get it going though

They are getting too deep instead of taking the floater or dump off pass that's available.

They’ve been lucky that UConn is missing from the outside. If that changes the game is over unless Underwood actually makes an effective change on Clingan.

True, but a few of those layups were just stubbed as if they expected it to be blocked.

The Illini take a lot of really stupid shots. Watching this crap really makes it hard to believe that they were among the best scoring teams in the NCAA. I really don’t like Underwood as an in-game coach.

Post subject:  Re: Illini 23-24 Road to Final Four
Van Gundy just called it. They have to start dropping the pass off off when Clingan steps up. Underwood said something during the timeout interview about continuing to challenge him. That's the wrong move. They are missing easy dump off passes by continuing to challenge him.

Get Domask either down low or at the free throw line and kick it out. There are open 3 point shots there. Obviously they need to make them but…they are there
