We have to find out about his growth plates.
We will know about an hour before tip tomorrow.
I sincerely hope our beloved Illini make a much better showing than all of these BT teams (lol at Iowa and IU btw)
I guess I should try and be aware of our foe's nickname. Apparently Chattanooga's mascot /nickname is the Mocs
sorta like an iowa hawkeye purdue boilermaker hybrid version that involves a train
either way, I dig it and hope we beat them.

Every player understands how important it is...understanding it doesn't help if you're not very good at it.
Someone do some research. Are there more upsets on Thursday than Friday? Seeing an upset of a high seed is good motivation to not take anyone lightly. So go ahead and get on that, I'm going to go drink.
The pink eye got to Frazier. Hope it gets better overnight. We win regardless in my mind, but that has to throw off his shooting and vision of the floor.

Totally looking this up tomorrow, as I had the same thought today.
I can see he dressed up as Hunter Dickinson for Purim? Ok I'm done. Adorable kid.

Probably because he can make a lot of money over seas if he does not get drafted.
The day of reckoning is upon us.
Anyone see Hutch practicing? I know he likely wouldn’t play regardless but just curious.
I don't see anyone on the Mocs team that can defend us. We should past the point of not being able to break a press. We faced some pressure sporadically after the first few games and seemed have moved past those struggles. There is no one on that team that can guard Payne, let alone Kofi. I'm confident we win this easily.
Should we play Houston on Sunday, they have a little more size on the perimeter, which makes me nervous, but again, there's no one to guard Kofi. They seem to play an uptempo style similar to Michigan State. Again, I don't see a huge issue there, and we should get by them without too many troubles.
That leads us to the second weekend. I hope and pray for a rematch with the Wildcats. The first time I ever traveled for a game was to San Antonio over 20 years ago. I was at the Bill Walton game. It was terrible. I want better referees than two decades ago, and unlike the game in 2021, I want Trent or Belo with the ball in the final minute. That 5 second call on Plummer did us in. Down 3 with under a minute...I wanted him to shoot it, not sit there with it!
I woke up hyped this morning, and against conventional wisdom, I'm looking past this weekend. Go Illini!!!!!!!!!!

Any word on Grandison?
He is good to go. BBV is also cleared should we need him.

Any of you in the know, do we need to be concerned with TF? If he just got pink eye, I hope they have some miracle drops for his eyes.
Pink eye is a pretty routine bacterial infection. With the right drops symptoms generally clear up in 24-48 hours, although you remain on the cycle for 7 days or so like most antibiotics. Not worried about pink eye.
