This will almost definitely be a blowout

 

[foby]

If they continue to improve, this one might be less than a 15 point loss.

 

[BananaShampoo]

I'm expecting something like scUM -18.

 

[Double ACL]

Michigan is a team that Underwood's strategy does very poorly against.

 

[Se Il Illini]

Michigan can name the score.

 

[foby]

Michigan can name the score.

How about Bob?

Present results would indicate we could say that about most teams we play against.

 

[sully]

oh boy. definitely dreading this one .

 

[PlayAZ]

How about Bob?

More like Ofer, he is scandinavian.

 

[Illini_1979]

Can Kofi suit up?

The only way we have a chance it to shoot 50% from 3 and stay out of foul trouble. That seems unlikely, but even bad teams get hot once in a while. More likely, it’s our worst loss of the season.

I’m going to say MSU will be 25+. this one within 20.

That is already spoken for Fla Atlantic!

True. I meant by point spread, but that is correct.

 

[GForce]

Hey, if the ladies can beat #12 Minn on their court, then maybe we can...

okay, probably not.

 

[pvaughn8]

Ok fast forward to next season

Even if we play well this is going to be a double digit loss.

We are going to struggle big time with their height and athleticism at both ends. Their 2-4 positions collectively will be hands down the best we face all year. Unless we somehow win the BTT and face Duke in the first Rd?

 

[t7nich]

Michigan looks like a final four team. This one could get ugly.

 

[JIllini]

Call me crazy, but I think Michigan overlooks us and we make it at least somewhat interesting. Team is very hungry for a win and being at home against the #2 team will have them fired up.

How so? And any thoughts on which B10 team on this year's schedule the strategy doesn't figure to do poorly against?

CRAZY....there ya happy now!

I am going to support the above statement from a not so crazy Loyalty brother! Hopefully there will be much difference from the Gonzaga game on a neutral court when we face another top tier team in Michigan in our pinball machine and not a neutral court.

 

[mattcoldagelli]

Gonna be terrible!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Over/under down 20 at halftime?
