Then after a week something else pops up, so another week delay, after which another pops up . . . Just play the games. We don't miss Duke at all.Man, with all these teams getting knicked out of their tournaments do to positive tests, I am now getting very nervous about exposure this weekend. Wish the NCAA would delay a week.
We have definitely gotten better production from our starting 5 and bench players since late December.Keys to today's game? For me it starts with our defense. I think as good as rutgers can be on defense, they are streaky on offense. we can't let them score 90 again. I think we will lock them down and be out for revenge. They did not look great yesterday, but Indiana is pretty good defensive team too.
Kofi has to have a big game. Can't be intimidated by Myles.
If ayo or trent can get going early, this thing is over.
I think we are so much better than we played them last, and they are maybe just a little better (maybe a little worse).
Illini 65
Rutgers 59
Go illini!!
I'm going with 83-68 good guys.
Keep headband Chachi under 40 and we got this.Keys to today's game? For me it starts with our defense.

I N IIn my opinion we shouldn't care who we play because of your the best team in the nation, you're the best team in the nation! Beat whomever they place in front of you like its the last game you're playing because it might be! Illinois is capable of beating any team in the country when they come to play and to win! Hustle, heart, confidence, effort, and desire will be the determining factors! Be aggressive, don't let up, and FOCUS! Do the little things and stay locked in on your assignments and take advantage of this moment and opportunity! You are the best and it's time to have fun and show the world! I-L-L

Don't let Mulcahy bait you into dumb fouls
As long as it isn't the free throw line. Rutgers camped there last time. Three of our guys fouled out and two more had 4.Kofi should win the big man battle but the game will be won on the arc. As long as we don't have an absurd number of fouls again we should be fine, Rutgers lives and dies by the 3 and we've been solid defending it all season. With us firing on all cylinders like this and looking for revenge, plus not playing on their court I think we win by 10.
