Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

[Longtimelurker]

Umhoops saying hunter traveled but not warming. Doesn't think he will play.

No way HD is healthy enough to travel but not healthy enough to play. No possible way. Wtf kind of bush league BS is this.

Well, it seems to be official, the dude is out.

So Hunter Dickinson travels with the team but isn't warming up. That is extremely odd. If he's sick, he shouldn't be traveling. If he's not sick, what's going on?

He saw Kofi in the tunnel and is now in the fetal position......in a mop closet......with a full diaper.

"Strength and conditioning"... Microwave ready excuse for Juwan.

Dickerson in the locker room.

FS1 just said HD won’t be playing tonight.

Will he make a Willis Reed type entrance ? Sorry, you younger folks will not remember this

Oh, I was very young at the time and remember it.

B10 just said on Purdue post-game that conditioning was the reason. Of course, I will always take anything that comes from Juwan as truth.

Officials siting? Who they be?
I'm sitting at home with the Rona, sad to miss this one. Hoping for Monday

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Next heaviest dude on Michigan appears to be 230. I’m going with Kofi having a career high in assists tonight.

 

[skyIdub]

Conditioning?? If I'm a top player on a team like this just out for a couple weeks, the coach would have to suspend me to keep me out of a game like this. Even if I could only manage 5-6 minute spurts. What a lame player and/or a lame coach.

LET’S DO THIS. No mercy.

I wonder if Coward tried to skip this game too and Warren said no. This would be a Coward-like childish reaction.

Michigan knows they are going to lose with or without Dickerson, so now they "Have an excuse"

 

[bradjock]

Remember when Ayo missed the Michigan game—and then we blew out Michigan? Weird things happen in college basketball. Just saying.

We’ve game-planned to stop Hunter and now he’s not playing. Will that throw us off?

Sorry! I’m a constant skeptic until the victory is in hand.

Honestly, I'm a little sad that UM will now have a convenient excuse and the Krush sign is less relevant now.

Wouldn't the game plan against him just be "let Kofi own Hunter?"

 

[illiniguy24]

I’m actually more worried now. They could go for a small ball more open style of play.

Missed it, thanks

I don't know. They've played this season with essentially 2 or 3 big men on the floor at a time. Probably just drop it to 1 or 2 now. Plus, I generally like our guards' defense. Small ball doesn't worry me. We are pretty good at it.

I’m disappointed too. I really wanted to see Kofi shut down HD like he did last year.

FS1 just said Dickinson isn’t playing because of stamina concerns…
