Tevian looked like a totally different player. He needs to watch this video and get his confidence back.

I think that's Tyler Underwood. That's why he gets so many minutes.

I find myself so nervous for this game because there is so little to gain from an optics standpoint and so much to lose. We are more talented than Minnesota, I think we are better coached, we are playing better and we are at home for the first time in a while, in front of what should be an amped up fan base ... there is just no reason we can afford to lose this one. These types of games are a lot more stressful for fans going in than "at Michigan" or "at #18 Iowa," at least for me! I hope we come out pumped up and even with a bit of a chip on our shoulder that the pundits are still not TOTALLY buying in. 
I'm picking conservatively and guessing that Kofi has a bit of a "slow recovery" from his slump game at Michigan, and Oturu has a great game.
Minnesota 71
Illinois 79
SEVEN STRAIGHT sounds awfully nice! Don't look ahead to Iowa!

I'm confident this week. Home court advantage. We're playing well. Only Alan should be missing from our Top 8. It's DaMonte time!

Hey Carl, what's that smell?
Works for me.
Would love to see DaMonte go off. He's really genuinely overdue.

I expect IL to keep MN below 60.
When we hold home court vs the Goofers and can defeat Iowa then we can be a the champs and a 4 seed of better. Lets just take one game at a time but damn i wanna beat Iowa. I got my first wish kicking Purdue's !!! at home when no one can. Lets do this! Go Illiini!

My husband and I arrive in Ft Myers on Thursday so we’ll be watching the Minny game at RonDao’s Pizzeria & Sports Bar. We move to the beach on Friday, and we’ll probably watch the Sat game at the hidden gem sports bar near downtown Ft Myers Beach : Lighthouse Resort Inn Tiki bar. We’ll be the ones in the orange and blue Chief gear!
Do not know what is "shut down". Expect, both, Oturu and Carr to have a sub-par game. Without Alan, it will be a bigger challenge.
His season low is 9 pts., so I’d be happy with anything less than that.
OK, here we go because this is just so Illinois.
Anybody asking Kofi if this little ittty bitty 7.7 earthquake north of Jamaica is distracting him enough to affect his focus and play in the upcoming Minny game?

Just asking. Hope all of Jamaica is safe and sound!!

I was just going to post something along the same line. Has this game started or been played yet? Seems like a longer space of time than the bye week before the Northwestern game. And there is still one more day to go.

Huge game. Our next four are incredibly tough games, so we need to win the ones we're supposed to.
