Illinois at Iowa 3/1/08

[illinois_hustle]

Time to make our push for the 8th seed !! Think big !!!

Illinois 65
Iowa 62

We'll show Dr Tom who's boss !!
Or I mean that slimebag Bruce Pearl !!
Er ... Steve Alford? Tubby ... no that's Minnesota.
Who the heck IS coaching Iowa these days?

Other predictions to make it interesting:

We win with 42% FG , 65% FT, 38 rebounds, and a slightly positive assist-to-turnover ratio (15/14).

Brian Randle fouls out by reaching in from the bench.

Meacham tries to pretend he's Pruitt for free throws in the final minute; crack Big Ten officiating staff catches it after the first FT is already made.

Chet collapses in the 2nd half from exhaustion; keeps claiming he's Dee Brown.

Weber announces a verbal from a 6th grader at halftime.

ILLINI 55
Herky (?) 50

It's scary close but we eke it out in the end with clutch free throws from Meach.

I live in Iowa, the ILLINI need some redemption after the cockeyes beat us at football this year. There is nothing on this earth than I hate more (Hawkeyes and their Fans). I hope the ILLINI can pull it together and get a good road win before the tournament.

I live behind enemy lines in Iowa City, and I've seen two Hawkeye games this year. They made MSU look incredibly pathetic. Ugliest game I've ever seen that didn't involve this year's or last year's Illini. They are very well coached and the players really do a good job of staying within themselves and within the system, as much as it pains me to say it. Unless we have another Minnesota moment, we will lose this game. I will be there in Orange and ready to make noise, but I need some Illini players to show up ready to play A FULL 40 MINUTES!

I agree the Hawkeye fans are the worst, though IU fans have certainly made a case to be considered this year.

My prognostication:

Illini 53
Herky Jerks 52

Not betting any moolah though.

Oskee wow wow!

[illini4everjp]

We're still playing? Crap.

UI - 65
UI - 53

You decide which is us.

[DWWBWW]

ILL -60
Iowa - 53

I believe. Go Illini!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SaintLouisIllini]

ILMAN, you really are better suited for the IB. You would enjoy posting over there much better than here and the iI. There are plenty posters there that could stoke your fire.

BW stokes my fire enough.

Before you take in the bb game, go to the Iowa Field House at 2PM to watch the #5 ranked Illini mens gymnastics team take on #11 Iowa. Should get a win out of this one.

[moe.fan]

I just had to bring this thread back to the top of the list. We need to win a fu@$ing away game. Please.

Illini 70
Hawkeyes 58

[illinied]

Today, the record get's tied for losses in a season. At least the Illini get to set a new record in front of the home crowd next week.

Iowa Hawkeyes: 58
Illini: 48

Meach continues down the (Hawkeye yellow) brick road and Pruitt can't find the basket. The other guys are saying " Are we really playing in a Big Ten game? Coool!"

Anything's possible,

Illinois 50
Iowa 49

[any1rememberherbcaldwell?]

Just a few minutes from tip-off. I expect a big night from Cole, Semrau, and Holdren. We'll win by 25-

[fightingillini fan 4-ever]

I am hoping we ruin their senior night...... GO ILLINI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wpr]

they have worked it in to Pru 3 times now in 5 possessions for 4 points.

[fightingillini fan 4-ever]

were up by two. Dmac looking good, had a three and a sweet pass. SP scares me when he goes up, I wish he had a little more finesse when he goes up strong. Mike Davis with back to back buckets.

[wpr]

Davis makes two shots in a row. 2nd was a nice jump shot.

[wpr]

PRU MAKES 2 FT!!!

[wpr]

Brock makes a 3 on a drive in the middle and kick out
