Davis's left hand is really wrapped around the front of the ball there. Interesting.
I do believe that’s the new way kids are being taught (his may be an extreme example) rather than how it was 20 yrs ago when it was guide hand to the side. Can’t remember the reasoning but it made sense when I heard it.

I think KJ will be a superstar and almost surely the Illini best player. He will be a household name around Illini land
Hopefully, you are correct, but how can anyone with that many letters in his name be a household name? I'm glad I am not the broadcaster!

If done correctly, it could help a player who struggles with cradling the ball in the shooter’s pocket consistently. Or you could just go with the Rob Jordan method, yell chicken wing every time your elbow is out. AJ got so tired of hearing his dad yell it, he learned to automatically be in the shooters’ pocket the moment you receive the ball. Taught my son the same way. I can still hear his voice today.

Nebraska is also scheduling non-home games against Creighton and St. Mary's. Nebraska's schedule is leagues tougher.
You realize this is a different St.Mary’s….not the SMC “Geals” from Cali.

Agreed, and how will announcers deal with KJ and Ivisic?

IU at least is in a loaded tournament. I have to give the edge on mediocrity to Nebby.

Sleeper's had a nice comment on hearing IU schedule - paraphrasing, "wait, are you reading Kenpom 350 and down, or IU's schedule?"

I've heard arguments that weak schedule's are great for NET, but I'd love to see if that tracks. The thinking is that early in the season. It takes NET a while to figure out who's good, so the blow-outs help. If true, you could look week to week at teams with the lame schedules and see a downward trend.
