    It's hilarious how dead the OT forum is now....

    I really enjoyed the OT board. Didn't read the politics threads for reasons listed. But found some true entertainment with all the other stuff. Im disappointed and not very interested to visit here any more. Will probably still check football and basketball threads for news and insight but miss...

    Who excites you the most of the new players? Which of the returnees will have a breakout year?

    I think Sage and Koch will be the 2 leading scorers. If Banks is back then throw him in the top 3. Then compliment Thompson and McKeever and Howard. It will be the jobs of Combs and Coleman to get the ball to these guys while also being capable scorers themselves. Seems to be a team more...

    OT: Greg McDemott retiring after this season

    Coon is not a great shooter. 29% from 3 and only 64% free throws. Had a lot of dunks. Is uber athletic. Maybe Ben makes him a lockdown defender

    Those who were there Sunday, what are your impressions? Will you be back?

    I was there. Fullest I've seen Carver in a while. It got loud and fans were on their feet a lot. Got off to such a bad start but fought back into it and had chances down the stretch. Need a couple more horses on the court. Illinois was huge and blocked a lot of our shots inside. Ben can coach...
