Pregame: Illinois vs Florida A&M
- Status
No letdown. Come out and bury this team with the same intensity we showed tonight.
Florida A&M will come into this one not having played since this past Sunday when they lost at UC Santa Barbara 73-62.
They were supposed to play at Arizona State yesterday afternoon but the game was cancelled due to a power outage at the Sun Devils' arena in Tempe.

This Florida A&M game has blow-out written all over it. Lieb may have his biggest game of the year.
104 ILLINI
68 Rattlers
We easily cover, as a road contest vs. the Gophers awaits on the horizon.

I couldn't be looking forward to this game less, considering.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Podz, RJ, and Goode

Enjoy your holiday, boys. You deserve it.
But don’t overdo it. I can remember too many “holiday hangover” games after thanksgiving and Christmas. Not that we would lose… but probably win by about 15 rather than 40-50.

Florida Atlantic 2018 at SFC...overtime loss at home 73-71 (after loss to Mizzou prior week)
I believe that was a "Hall of Fame" Loyalty meltdown postgame thread. At that point many were saying "why didn't we get Clownzo" ....3 years later we are thinking "glad we didn't get Clownzo".
Our overall 4+ year turnaround since BU arrival is a real testament to having patience.
After year 2 ( 2018-2019 , Ayo 1st year, record 12-21, #10 B10)...many were not sure we were in right coaching hands, myself including.
Glad to say 2.5 years later ...I am very thankful we have BU and I should have had more patience after BU, year 2.

That might have been the exact couple I was thinking of. Couldn’t remember the game but the feeling hurt.
Me too. Son in town from Cali so we are gonna catch this one. Ready to see Kofi terrorizing the rim.

The panic was real, the despair was real. People calling for Hoiberg and doubting the hire. Calling Ayo non-Athletic. Funny when you go back and look at it
Read through a bit of that thread. Makes you appreciate what we have now and what we have been able to build.
Wasn't this the game that Kofi was here on his recruiting visit?Just took a trip down memory lane.

HA! Funny, looked to see if we have any current hypocrites (cause Im like that) and I couldnt find a one. The uber naysayers are no longer in the building (at least at a cursory glance). Good thing we all trusted the process...Just took a trip down memory lane.

I know this board wasn't around back then (probably) but what about this final score from a post-Christmas/pre-New Year's game.

I'm sure Trent and Damonte remember this loss. Hope they come out and put this one on ice early and with authority.
Either that or they made new accounts.
Yep, good memory!!
This would be the perfect time to play the freshman together and see what they can do for an extended time. I would love to see more of Melendez, Goode and Podz with Kofi and Plummer.
