Win this one, get back into the top 25, and all is forgiven… For now

Both teams on a roll and trending up. Should be a fun one in Champaign. Are the students back?
I'm not even worried about Top 25. Just keep stacking wins.

No, although you probably will see more since it’s a Friday night.

Classes start on Tuesday…
I really hope to see the offense from the last two games on Friday. My 1st basketball game in person in 30 years.
In my day this was the ideal pre-semester calendar. Get back on Friday, party Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday, recover on Monday, class on Tuesday.

We have come to expect being near the top of the Big Ten and regularly ranked … so, as with most of our games for a while, this one is huge.
But this one really does seem especially huge!

Fortunately for us, we’ve had some big stage games earlier in the season and it’s at home.

Better be a sellout … Wisconsin was, and we were at our lowest before that one! Team needs us!

Will be there with my wife and kids. My first time actually attending a game at assembly hall. Not sure how that happened given I attended in the early 2000s. Are the food and beverage concessions good or should we grab dinner and drinks somewhere else pregame ?
I'm traveling for 3 hours to get there, anyone going want to meet up? Let me know.
Depends on where you’re sitting. They will have beer and typical concession food for non premium seats along with a hickory river bbq stand. Premium seating options have different food and beer along with mixed drinks and wine. I’d honestly grab food before hand downtown at seven saints, black dog or watsons then head to the game.
