A week off. Ace your finals. String together some good practices. Be ready for a decent team.

 

[skyIdub]

Perfect team to get that taste out of our mouths?

 

[foby]

I love this team. I know this team is Top Ten good. If this was last year's team, I'd be completely bummed out right now, but all I feel is excitement for the rest of this season.

Win the rest of the non-conference, hit Northwestern at 10-2.

 

[Jimbo]

Wow, another week off. Good for the team, bad for the fans. But i’m sure they can use the rest.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Coming home is just what the doctor ordered

 

[abchew2]

Selfishly I hate waiting so long to recover from a loss, I want to wash it out with a beat down!

 

[1970 John]

I might miss the harvest but I won’t miss the feast.

 

[LvilleILL]

We have a top 10 caliber team this year. Win these next 4 and head into Purdue at 11-2

 

[Eternal Optimist]

Unfortunately, I checked the other boards and know the outcome here. Too many holes and problems to fix. Just not solvable. This Colgate team is heads and shoulders better than our team. We lose by 20.

Lol! And btw, your username does NOT check out (unless you take into account that your sarcasm is meant to mean the opposite of your post)!

Colgate will also be coming into this one with a similar long break to the Illini. They beat a quality Vermont team earlier today 77-71.

On a side note, does anyone know why this game has the start time it does? Usually they try and have the games on NFL Sundays have a start time that doesn't overlap the Bears game.

This is a rescheduled game, and the women’s team plays Mizzou at SFC right after the men’s game.

I know the women's team plays Mizzou right after.

And I get that it was rescheduled. The start time seems a bit odd though. I wonder why they put it at that time. I know the Bears game start time wasn't official until here in the last couple weeks but you'd think they'd have a backup plan in case the game started at the same time. I'm actually surprised they didn't flip the game times of the men's and women's games, especially since there's no other conflict on BTN that day from what I can see.

Let's be honest, who's more entertaining these days: the Bears or the Illini?

I love them both but I'm more likely to tune into basketball with the way the a Bears have played this season (even though the defense really has improved)

So I’ve heard only 9 out of 10 recommend? Hmm.
