Revenge for last year's game at Piscataway, please.
Well....if we win that game last year Groce is probably still our coach.
That would have been VERY bad....

Eh, time will tell. BU still has yet to prove that he's a better coach at Illinos than Groce. I want to say I think he will be, but being an Illini fan for the last several years has conditioned me to expect dissapointment.
loss
last year: illini have somehow found their way onto the positive side of the bubble with one catch, beat a bad rutgers team on the road. proceed to lay an egg.
tonight: illini have the ball, shooting 2 with 0.1 seconds to play, >99% to win the game. shooter intentionally misses the free throw, then attacks the board risking a foul, potentially giving the other team a chance to tie the game and send it to overtime.
i'm beyond jaded when it comes to illini sports.
please, for the sake of my own sanity, prove me wrong
I know, but you didn’t have to stand there in your Orange sweatshirt with CHIEF” emblazoned across the chest while your wife, also an Illini and also in Orange, waits in line for the restroom.Well....if we win that game last year Groce is probably still our coach.

I know Sanders is a load in the backcourt. But does anyone know how good Rutgers is in the low post?
But I'd like to get back down there to see the new Hall and help support this team in person. Maybe 2/18 against Penn State. Can I hope to get a seat somewhere if I just show up game day?
The win streak is at 1, according to Wiki, which I still don't trust; I'll tell you why. Last time I was at Assembly Hall was 2005, Nov. 20, a Sunday, and Dee and Co. beat Texas-Pan American. The day before I watched Illinois lose to NW at Memorial Stadium. But Wiki says that game was Nov. 18, a Friday. No way.
My point: I don't have one.

Also, what's a clean, modest motel closeby? No flea-bags, please.
Thanks. Coming down from DeKalb.
9 more to go to get back on the bubble
I know the spirit of the post, but 9 in a row would make us a big story, and with wins at OSU and MSU, and a win over Purdue, we would be in.
Winning 8 of 9 would have us on the bubble.
Now back to reality, let's win this one, and take the rest one at a time.

Is it time to bring out the ladder?
