    UIC and new head coach Howard Moore (ex-BU assistant)...
    had an intrasquad scrimmage last night -- and the "Red Team" that had most of their projected starters - led by Robo Kreps & Zavion Neeley (their two top scorers last year)
    got absolutely hammered and embarrassed by their "White Team" made up entirely of either players who didn't play last year or deep subs who were well under 5 ppg last year.

    Final score was 49-29 in a 30 minute game...
    Robo Kreps did get some consolation - as the 6-1 senior guard from Maroa-Forsyth won the slam dunk contest!!

    at IU they had their intrasquad scrimmage, and walk-on Daniel Moore did his best Lebron James imitation and dominated with 18 points, 5 assists, 4 steals..in a 30 min scrimmage
    gotta wonder how good is IU gonna be when a 5-10 walk-on who's never been more than a deep sub, and who scored a grand total of 36 points last season, and is a career 1 ppg scorer and 33% shooter leads them in such a dominant fashion??

    Matt Roth had 10 pts on 2-5 from 3-pt range, 1 reb, no asst..
    Some of the other expected starters struggled also -- Maurice Creek had 4 pts, Tom Pritchard had just 2 points, and Verdell Jones sat it out with ankle problems, Jeremiah Rivers out with a concussion..

    Creighton plays a closed scrimmage at Colorado tonight

      I wish i would have seen this yesterday. One of my good childhood friends is a sophomore on the team at Lewis. It was awesome getting to see him play last year when we played lewis for our exhibition game.

      From looking at his stats it doesnt look like my buddy had a great game, but it still would have been cool to see him on TV

        The red team got killed, yes, but the blue team also had two starters from last year on it (Birton and Robbins), plus transfer Paul Carter, the 6th man at Minnesota last year. Carter is a huge pickup for UIC.

          I think Coach Les can use the Illini game with his team. The Illini are being talked up as much improved, new attitude, yadda yadda yadda, and then they go out in the exhibition and play basically the same way they did last year. Talk means nothing.

            Birton & Robbins combined played fewer minutes than Kreps alone and they were part time starters.

            it woule be like having Maniscalco & Taylor Brown on one team and Jake Eastman & AT on the other and saying they're balanced

              Didn't the mighty Illini play another exhibition? Wondering why we haven't heard anything on it yet.

                Maybe because they had 24 turnovers to a D2 school and didn't win by much. From what I heard Tisdale only had 2 rebounds and got abused by the opposing center.

                  I checked about an hour ago and it was the main headline on the Illini athletics site - here you go:

                    and the opponents' best center, Nick Evans, sat the bench!

                      C'mon man... sending me to UIUC's site is like throwing acid on me. j/k

                      I was trying to be funny when I asked, cause I knew the answer. But I was looking more for this kinda stuff:

                      "Illinois barely beats Division II Southern Indiana"


                      "Illini fail to impress in win over Southern Indiana"




                      Of course, we all know they'll pound someone like UNC by 25-30 points.
