I believe it was stated that the Illini are only allowing 62 points a game. I expect Iowa to get a little more than that in the upper 60's or low 70s. I feel if we can score more that 74 we win. Lets go Illini!
Games at Carver this year result in a greater foul differential than at any other arena in the Big Ten. That’s what worries me.This game is no tougher than @WI, @PU, or @scUM.
Iowa is not a juggernaut. DePaul beat them here.
Lots of orange. If crush shows it will be an even better atmosphere. Keep it close by limiting good 3 point shots and give us a shot at the end!Radio reporting plenty of Orange at the game.
This is huge. Garza initiates so much contact that with now being the "no flop" to draw attention to it now it needs to be called. I have watched Iowa a lot and for some reason Garza draws the foul instead of being called on him. Georgi does this but it seems he gets called for it. more often than Garza does. I just hope it is consistent. . It just doesnt seem to work out that way for other bigs like ours and others. Maybe its just me because i am usually hoping Iowa loses. I hope when Kofi stands his ground Garza doesnt get those BS calls.Games at Carver this year result in a greater foul differential than at any other arena in the Big Ten. That’s what worries me.
I'm as nervous as I have been for an Illini basketball game in years. The GLORY we could achieve with a win today is just so great, lol. Winning our eighth straight in Iowa City vs. a top 20 Iowa team that WHOOPED us twice last year? That is as big time as it gets all regular season, period. I want this one SO badly. This will be a Herculean task for our guys, but until they break this streak ... I gotta keep the faith. I am fully on the bandwagon for this Illini squad, and a loss today does not in any way dampen my enthusiasm. However ... this one would just be monumental.
An inspired Illini effort leads to...
Illinois 77
Iowa 73
My Super Bowl Starts in 43 minutes on FS1!! Go ILLINI!!
Not getting easy shots so farAlready not liking the offense ... horrible
