iowa is much better than purdueFor the potential second game, I believe I'd prefer see Iowa to Purdue. If Iowa beats Wisconsin today, which seems likely, that would be our potential match up.

And we seem to have Purdue’s number. Iowa always a dog fight.iowa is much better than purdue
Go Badgers, later todayiowa is much better than purdue
Agreed. The B1G has already shown us that they will give the B1G title to an obviously inferior UM team and therefore do not consider us worthy. That, and the fact that there was ZERO retribution for MSU when they mauled the best player in the nation, yet, our guy would be suspended for at least a week.Illini Should Give Two Words to Big Ten Tournament - Hard Pass

yea I would be shocked if they won thoughGo Badgers, later today
I personally, would love to see a rematch with Squawks and Garza.Go Badgers, later today
But, aside from COVID-19, which would be horrible, it might be interesting to sit Kofi, Ayo, Da'Monte, Adam, Jacob and Andre. Just play the limited bench players. If one fouls out, go with 4. If two foul out, go with three. It worked for Gene Hackman! AND, it would be a great message.Agreed.

So, the lack of the B1G to generate an equal playing field makes this tournament worthless to me. I am sure our players would like to get the BTT title, but I am also positive they would rather have the first ever U of I NCAA championship in basketball. FIRST EVER. BTT? Nah, we have more important things to do. Let us know when you decide to treat us as equals.
Illinois and Michigan are the only two other schools with a 7' player that can body Edey. He's tall, but didn't seem overly physical in the game against IU yesterday. He was pushed around a bit by smaller dudes.Purdue got the 7"4" Edey, plus they are on a 5 game win, beat Mich State and Wisky...toss in Williams, Stefon....they look like trouble.
No way. You’re talking a 2 week layoff between games if they did that. Absolutely not.Illini Should Give Two Words to Big Ten Tournament - Hard Pass

Agree, TC. What a horrible idea. Sounds like something scUM would do. Maybe Coach thought that way early on at one point, but I don't think Coach or Josh would even think in this direction now that we’re on a roll. As Coach said in the huddle in the post game celebration, “Three more. And then six more.”Didn't realize that SI has fallen this far. What a terrible, whinny article. Where is SI finding these guys.
True...unless Wieskamp is outiowa is much better than purdue
agree 100 percent. These kids relish every chance they get to don the orange and blue. Yes, let’s be the only team in America to refuse to play in conference tourney. Stupid article!!Players would hate this and be demoralized. This is not who we’ve been this year.
