Finally, the fun part of the schedule. I love high-major non-conference games. Inevitably, at some point tonight, we will get punched in the mouth. I want to see how we respond and who takes charge.

Loved that tweet saying there was a lot of orange, hope we help neutralize the crowd advantage a bit … might just matter!!
The arena supposedly seats around 17,000, and I can see online that there still are at least 3000-4000 unsold tickets; roughly 35%-40% of the upper level.

Let’s go boys!!! Spotlight is on, let’s do how we do with the lights on!
ILL!

That's exactly what I'm most interested in. With a team that lives behind the arc, what happens when they aren't falling? Who will take charge and make a play because shooting a three to stop a run usually leads to a bigger run.

You know all my life I would have agreed with this, but now I am not sure? Many teams (emulating the NBA) do use the three even as a run stopper. The game has become dunks and 3’s anymore and the 3 is simply a better pay off?
Go Illini. Tonight roll the tide far away.
Majority Bama crowd as expected but a good amount of orange!!

“Just win, baby,” “uniforms aren’t that important,” etc.
But DAMN, I must be out of touch, haha. I can’t believe anyone on our team or associated with our program thinks the defaults are cool enough to wear for any game, much less all of them.
Volleyball game on the SEC network. Looks like it will go past 9.
