ILLINI WIN

[georgethedog]

.....
Indiana is not a tournament-caliber team. They can't play away from home, and could be one of the most offensively-challenged teams out of any of the top 10 conferences in America...

Where was the ex-Bradley Brave juco player who was a starter and was their designated 3-point shooter?

It's been nearly 2 months since Stemler has looked good, his scoring average has dropped to only about 5ppg and he is hitting a woeful 25% from 3-point in Big Ten games.

Against the Illini, Stemler saw only 4 minutes to close out the 1st half and spare anyone else an extra foul before halftime, he barely touched the ball, and has a stat line that reads:
22 Stemler, L 4 minutes 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0-0 0 0 0 0

He never again reentered the game, and you have to wonder if Kelvin Sampson any longer has any faith in him.

I never thought he was a DI player. Toooooooo slow footed with no verticle jump, etc. He did well in the JUCO ranks because normally he was guarded by smaller players. Does anyone remember the kid from Farmington that was a JUCO All-American at Spoon River College about 6-7 years ago? He was very good and a similar player to Stemler and ended up at DII Truman State. Stemler belongs at a place like that.

Re: ILLINI WIN

Congrats to all you Illini-slash-Bradley fans out there. This win over Indiana puts the Illini in for sure. Good luck in the NCAA Tourney. I think many, many, many teams are very beatable and the Illini could easily find themselves in the Sweet16 if not even further.

Now now MM let's not go crazy here.. Its bad enuff to allow Illini/BU fans to exist, yet alone to encourage their orange Kool-aid(mixed w/Tequila) drinking!!

I agree 100% george. 100%. I have thought this since the first time I saw the kid play.

Yeah I remember that kid he's my best friend Scott Coykendall. We used to talk all the time about why he never played D-1 ball. The only offer was from Elon. He even e-mailed BU and asked them to recruit him, but they never did. He was tough and he's an animal now. Great Guy and a Very Good friend!

Yea, Scott. He was a great kid and a very good student. I taught for a short time at Spoon River College (not there now)and he was a student of mine in Accounting and Bus. Law. I hope he is doing well. He was an outstanding person when I knew him.
