I think that 4 away doesnt count neutral site games. They have played 4 neutral games i think.
They got rid of the .500 rule so they could add the rule that regular season conference champs are in. Too easy for a low-level conference champ to have a sub .500 overall record if they played a tough non-conference. They did not get rid of it to bring in more P5 teams with mediocre records.
We're not going to the NIT.
Same way Illinois has only played 4 away games...
I'm reborn!
Put another tally in the Illini-fan-in-Iowa-City column.
Giorgi 's a stitch. He's likable and he can play.

Not sure whom you were quoting, but I was born in Peoria, and my family moved to Iowa City when I was 8. I went to my first Iowa/Illinois game at Carver at about 9 or 10, and there was zero chance I’d defect after that. 2005 was when I was 13. I was soooo excited the day I got accepted to Illinois, but for several reasons - from money to family to at-the-time-girlfriend - I chose to stay in Iowa City for college. Never lost my love for the Illini, and I never will. Even converting my Iowa grad girlfriend to an Illini fan this year (we went to the UI/NU game in Evanston this year) ... imagine how easy it will be once we aren’t 5-12, LOL.

I hope some type of switch went off during the Minnesota game but I just can't see Illinois winning tomorrow. Iowa has too much inside. They win 80-66.
Listen, I think Ayo is great. He is what we want at Illinois. However, watching the Duke vs Virginia game and he is nowhere close to Barrett or Zion level. Those are nba prospects. ayo I think is a year or two away from getting there. Don't get me wrong, he is definitely on the radar...but if he leaves now.i think he is a.round two at best. I think he would benefit from another year in the college game.and weight training

Hope this doesn't affect the team's performance.
Maybe it can work in our favor if we can lose our game uniforms on the way.
Good to have someone behind enemy lines
What happens if we roll Iowa by 20 on the road?

We seem rare, but i have ran into and got to know quite a few Illini fans in IC now. I grew up in the Western burbs. I know some will laugh but I wouldnt move back to the Chicago area even if I had the chance now. But to say these games in Iowa city are my super bowl would be an understatement. Gotta have this one tomorrow.

I don’t live in Iowa anymore but when I was there It felt the same way. It was the Super Bowl. There is just something so sweet about beating the Hawkeyes.
Trent gets 30 we win by 5

Garza scares me.
I would love if our guards would penetrate and kick out, never happens.
