How many times will we get beat backdoor then have to rotate to help and it will end up with an alley oop to their big man? I love the effort and the style but we have to start anticipating those cuts.....

Maryland was literally just running guys in circles and cutting backdoor out of it. Eventually they got one. God I hope we fixed that.

prep game on espn 2 is very entertaining....BU has 7 second rule, bama has a 4 second rule I think (bama vs arizona).

Hoping Illini start strong and we get to see start of game on espn2

97-70

only have to stay awake for one more hour until it starts... But staying awake past midnight on a sat night just don't happen anymore...

 

[Edgar Mundo]

Why does the game start so late, even for Vegas time?

 

[mhuml32]

For two teams struggling on offense, a lot of points in these predictions.

 

[skyIdub]

Maybe they'll be awake when the first half starts this time.

9 minutes left in the Alabama Arizona game..most likely going to overlap with our game. WHY does this always happen to us.

Don't worry, they'll move it over to ESPN8...The Ocho.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Imagine this, a late arriving crowd in Las Vegas

Just took a 20 min power nap, got my caffeinated bev, and I am amped up.

What did Arizona do to their uni's? Ew.

bama and zona averaging 3 fouls per minute....game should be done by midnight and we can see 2d half of illini. jeesh

 

[Future Walk-On]

This game is going to take 30 more min. I guess they might air on ESPN News for a bit.

Nice section of orange!

So I have the WatchESPN app. Don't have ESPNEWS in my cable package. The only link the app has for the game is the ESPNEWS channel... that doesn't seem right.
