I’m sorry … does that say that ranked Illinois vs. ranked UCLA in Las Vegas will be on ESPNU?

How can this premiere event on NU? What could possibly be a better draw/matchup? BS!

Honestly, from a ratings perspective, it’s asinine to not switch these two games if that’s the case.

The four missed fumbles against Michigan led to adoption of reply too.

I was at that game!! Sadly, I was also at the 1993 Illinois/Arizona game. the defense DOMINATED, but lost due to incorrect fumble calls.

I am cursed.

You mean you’re not familiar with the school that knocked us out in the first round of the 1995 tourney?

 

[Joel Goodson]

Given that we have so many new players, that the team is practicing at the SFC is great, particularly for the frosh.

Too soon.

Two historic programs, can't believe BIG hasn't locked them down.

Who else is going to these games? Will be a blast! Tickets for baseline court side were cheap at face value. Excited to see the new team up close.

So, am thinking about this coming year's Illini Inter-squad games.... might be better than the inter-collegiate schedule!

There could be some real battles! I'm not sure that a potential first team of Clark, Shannon, Mayer, Melendez, and Coleman would dominate a team of Epps, Harris, Goode, Rogers, and Dainja. It might come down to whoever had the hot hand for the scrimmage. I would LOVE to be there to see the effort needed to win!

So what WOULD make the best starting five? Can you really keep Rogers off of it? Or Dainja? A five man substitution every 5-8 minutes?

I for one have never seen our team so deep with truly talented players.

Comments?

Rogers will be tough to keep out.

Well, I must be cursed, too, then because I was also at both of those games. I was NOT at the Illini-Miami game that changed the out of bounds rule, but I was watching it on tv...

Illini have some great wings. Free Rivals article ranks us #2.

Should be good enough for 35-40 placement in the polls and a 7 or 8 seed in the big dance I figure! /s

Calipari tried the two wave approach one year. He ducked questions about it all year, and then after the season said "never again."

Thanks!..liked his Illini Bottom Line too..

" There's a real chance four or five of Illinois' wings play in the NBA one day."
