I hate all of this, it just sucks. Of course, that is me being very selfish. I actually think it's good for Illinois. We aren't phased on the road, and we don't play much differently at home. Maybe no fans in the building is the perfect match for this team? Who knows, it's gonna be super weird.

Couple of thoughts. Frazier always is solid defensively, but his shooting over the past few moths has just been awful. We need him to get going if we want to make noise in b10 tourney and the big one. I was hoping his layup and 3 during the 2nd half in the span of about 45 seconds would help...

I hate thinking about that game. We got screwed against Miami with that Larkin wrong call. Thanks for bringing it up guys!! Sheesh.

Believe I read that Ohio State is last in the B10 at defending the three. Frazier breakout potential....... Hoping. Really would be fun to light it up from long range. If we are going to make a run in the dance then I would have to imagine that in at least one of those games we are going to have...

I believe we have the right guy too. Very happy to have him. Holtmann coached 3 years at Butler and now is in his 3rd at Ohio St. Has made the tourney all 5 years and ended 3 of those seasons in the AP top 25. He is a solid coach.

At a certain point there needs to be a time to where talent and ability overcomes everything else. Yes, NW plays hard against ILL, yes the zone can occasionally make us look lost offensively. Btw -6 1/2 on the road in the B10 does not indicate that Vegas thinks this game will be a nail biter...

just needs to put all his pocket change in his other pocket.

I too, love GB. Great teammate and an all around great kid. Having said that, was he not a 2 star recruit? You don' usually see kids like that have freshman seasons like he had. Energy off the bench is his ceiling IMO. He is still a guy that can make a difference but I'm just never going to be...

Win the game and drop 4%, where is this coming from?

No such thing as a bad win. I spilled my beer at the end of the first half haha. On to NW.

Feels weird not having a weekend game but giving Ayo the time to recover and continue the healing process is vital at this point in the season. There are no lay down games in the conference this year.... Gotta come out physical and dominant from the opening tip and it would be nice to watch a...

I completely agree that a defensive specialist is valuable. Shutting down an elite player like Stevens was great. My point was that there will come a time when the ball might be in his hands at the end of a game and I just want him to have confidence to make a play and score the ball. Hoping he...

Great team win. Ayo was clutch and it really is nice to see him step up even more at the end of games. Someone mentioned earlier about how they cringe when we feed the ball in down low and I would have to agree. Kofi needs to get better at catching and dunking. A big guy typically doesn't have...

Hey guys, glad to be a new member. For me it comes down to this, you are at home as a top 25 team and are playing an MSU squad that just fell out of the rankings. You HAVE to win home games in the B10 if you want to have a chance every year to be at or near the top of the league. This is a game...
