Understand Cassius Winston is limited for Western Michigan game tonight. He has a bone bruise on his left knee. We will probably need every edge we can get.
I looked at their losses... Kentucky ,Duke, and Virginia Tech. Northwestern stayed within 5.
Thanks FiveStar. As much as I dislike Izzo as a foe coach, I can't imagine a better coach to support a player going through a loss like that.There was an article about Cassius Winston I read about a week ago. Don’t remember if it was posted here or Reddit. It was about how he’s still coping with the loss of its brother, and it’s affecting every facet of his life, including basketball. A lot of people are able to use their sport to escape, but his brother was a basketball player too, so there’s really no outlet for him.
It was a tough read. Just hope for the best for him.
Not sure if anyone will call this a winnable game, but my guess is we'll be 10.5 pt dogs. Won't be a bad loss if they drop it.

Lol, if this game was in CU and Winston was out then I think we could be talking about pulling the upset. It’s not. We aren’t winning in East Lansing. Not unless the ghost of Dee Brown checks into the starting lineup and knocks down about 8 treys.
You must not watch a lot of college basketball to think a win is impossible. Several much larger upsets have happened this season.
Plenty. But I’ve also been an Illini fan for 40 years so that conditioning outweighs most everything else.
I think we win this game. Just have to play tough for 40 minutes.
Newbie are ya.Plenty. But I’ve also been an Illini fan for 40 years so that conditioning outweighs most everything else.
I will second this testimonial fact. Nick Weatherspoon is still fresh in my mind!
