    This Illini team seems to play a lot like the current Golden State Warriors. They spread out the floor nicely, and their guards utilize screens very well to frequently hit open 3's. They're also deadly coming off defensive stops with Dee Brown running the open floor. Overall, their offense just seems so similar to GSW.

    I think Illinois should have sent Bill Self a FF plaque since he literally built this Illinois team that made the NC game ..Then Weber should have sent Frank Martin a thank you letter for leaving him with so much talent at KState..allowing him to have 2 really good years when he first arrived...Weber is a great care taker of good teams, he just cant build one of his own

      THE moment I knew we were not gonna stay elite was when Weber hit the recruiting trail with case studies of Dee Brown, Deron Williams, and Luther Head...and could only bring in 2-star Chester Frazier as his future point guard. It was a monumental failure of PG recruiting.

      @keithglass4891 Před 7 lety +1

      He wasn't that good. The setup was perfect because he had 5 player on the floor who could handle the ball, shot and run. They made motion look easy. Then after they were gone his teams struggled even though they had talent but I different type of player. This was Golden State before Golden State. They set records in Illinois history in poor shooting and scoring after these guy left and never adjusted to his talent. It's easy to run this offense with those guards. It's telling when you don't have them and refuse to adjust and blame 18-20 year olds for not getting it done. Inheriting this team was fools gold.
