I’m predicting our first BIG win of the season.Time to get a conference W. This is one of the easier remaining games.
From both the team's and fans' mental perspective, I would have to agree.Would definitely call this a "must win"
Also lost to an OSU team I think is overrated by 20 pts. And to BC. And to MD by 15.Not fully understanding all the optimism. Didn't Minnesota recently beat Wisconsin on the road?
15 pt loss at home to Maryland?? I can't imagine a loss that embarrassing...Also lost to an OSU team I think is overrated by 20 pts. And to BC. And to MD by 15.
No we wont be favored, but no reason we cant win it. Should be on par with NW, perhaps Minny is slightly better.
The Cat predicts that IL will win this game. MN will be worn out by its January 12 game against Rutgers.
IL will lead 40 - 32 at halftime.
MN will make halftime adjustments, ILL will wear out and cool off, but ILL will still hang on to win 72 - 71.
Agree, I like to go in Fresh.I hate it when people give away the ending
Winnable game. Hope we play well.

what makes you think that? Minnesota is probably better than Northwestern, Georgetown, Xavier, FAU... we haven’t closed out a single game all year. Not trying to be a negative nancy, but until they can prove that they can beat a power-5 team than i cant expect a win.Respectfully disagree. Come Wednesday, we’re off the schneid.
Here's an angle - we were 2 frosh and 1 soph starters when we played those teams and the expectation is that Ayo and Giorgi are much better over a month later as they get accustomed to the system and play. Oh, and we played NU at their home court and almost won (1 offensive rebound away from a W), and Georgetown was played without Trent. FAU is just an odd one-off IMO.what makes you think that?
