Illini lose at home to Miami

Some Illini fans think Jeffrey Jordan should be given more playing time, and one online hoops service is actually claiming that Jeff Jordan has NBA-level talent!!!
http://www.hoopsvibe.com/nba/nba-draft/nba-draft-news/a-review-of-jeffrey-jordan-ar46558.html

"As of right now, I think Jeffrey could be an Antonio Daniels- type player in the NBA, and if he develops a good three point shot, he could be a more athletic version of Derek Fisher."


Ahem......let me add to this discussion, as here are Jeffrey Jordan's NCAA D-I stats, they speak for themselves.
He has played in only 6 games, but those games he has played in are the teams' easiest opponents, as Jeffrey has not gotten off the bench in the tougher games....

Among all Illini players who have scored even one point, Jeffrey is dead last with these stats...........

6 games, 35 minutes played, 5.8 mpg, 0-7 from the floor, 0-1 from 3pt range, 3-6 (50%) on FT's, 2 rebs (0.3rpg), 2 assists (0.3apg), 6 turnovers (1TO/gm) and 0.5 ppg scoring average.

Can anyone tell me if there has even been an NBA player who went to college and ever had a stat line that paltry?
I suspect not.
 
Who cares????? The only good thing is that a mid-major again won on the road at a BCS school.....
 
Those pretty much sound like a freshman walk ons numbers. If he were better I have a hard time believing that with his name and their lack of guard play that Jordan would not be play much more.

I am guessing as with many many freshman guards he is not physically ready to play at the Division 1 level, even it that level is in the Big 11 :)
 
To be fair to JJ you don't accumulate many stats from the bench. The fans calling for more playing time are mostly frustrated by the play of the guards out on the floor. And there is a percentage of all fan bases that don't have a clue. Like it or not BU is now tied to the hip of the B10 rpi. It's like we're all one, big, happy family.

After watching Miami Ohio play before we played Illinois in the Finals at the Chicago tournament last year, it is hard to imagine them beating anyone, let alone Illinois at HOME. Watching them play was one of the worst games I have ever seen.

Charlie Coles is a great coach at Mia-Oh. Not the flashiest teams, I guess.

But you can also blame some of that "eye-stabbing" performance on UIUC.

And SIU is the same way.

And then DoubleD's comment... "Where is this MOTION OFFENSE," I keep hearing about.

Where have we heard that before? (and not wanting to turn this on Mo and into a thread about Mo.... it is about UIUC) The relevance (to me) is that SO MANY UIUC fans would ask me how I could stand watching such poor offensive efforts.

Naww....he's had 35 minutes on the floor.....

If he's a shooting guard, shouldn't he be better than 0-7 by now?
If he's trying to play a little PG, shouldn't he have a few more assists, remember, those minutes are against the deep bench players of the ery few teams that Illinois has gotten a big lead on.

Compare....
Brian Lavin...has played only 6 total minutes this season and has the same number of assists as Jordan....2, but nowhere NEAR the 6 turnovers Jordan has.
and not one player on BU's roster has as few of "points per minute played (0.2)" and "FG per minutes played (zero)" as Jordan has.

personally I would compare any numbers for people who have played 35 min. in 10 games...
they don't really count for anything
