Getting sonned two games in a row? First by Hoiberg junior then by Izzo's adopted son who is some how shorter than his father.
He's Scott Skiles 35 years later without the height, attitude, penchant for blow, or NBA chops.

I don’t think today goes down as the most important game of the year, but I do think the difference between a win and a loss today is staggering. Win and we are in GREAT position for a Friday start in the BTT (top 4), and still control our destiny for the regular season championship. Lose, and we’ve got work to do to stay out of the BIG “tier two”.
You can't lose TWO home games to middle of the road teams and expect to compete for the championship.

Anyone know what's going on with Tominaga? He points and minutes have been dropping off quite a bit over the last several games. Just 18 minutes and 2 points against Wisconsin
Great shooter and incredibly fun player to watch when he's hitting but he's limited at basically everything else. He's also been a bit cold and hasn't really been shooting well enough to make up for his deficiencies on the defensive end.

Williams, Wilcher, Mast, and Gary are better players. Then they even have some guys off the bench like Lawrence and Hoiberg who can play a bit, Hoiberg doesn't really score but rebounds way better than a 6 ft guard should and plays his !!! off.

Should be a fun game. Illini have the size to matchup well defensively just need to show up on that end and start playing up to their ability(think they should be a top 10 defense).

I respectfully differ: that event will materialize via Izzo's son a week from today. That would be Peak Illinois. Can't imagine anything more demoralizing. :LOL:
Izzo's kid might be the worst college basketball player I've ever seen. Like he doesn't look like he would have even sniffed the court in high school.

If he drops a career day on us then I may never watch another game of basketball in my life.

It took until this year for me to realize that the markings on the Oregon court are silhouette's of trees. Didn't know what the hell they were trying to do their.
I think I would be immediately disoriented playing on that.
