Week of 12/2 Games & News Thread

[jrichisamazing]

Washington is... I mean, horrific.

JMO - Not very happy with our home and away games - NW (already lost), Mich St, and WISC. Would've liked a MINN or Washington in there.

Torvik has our conference SOS ranked 8th out of 18.

But I also saw how insanely easy UCLA's schedule is. They play Washington and USC twice, by far two of the worst teams in the conference. Because of this I think UCLA is the favorite, so we want them losing as much as possible. They play at Oregon today, so I'm rooting for Oregon.

Thoughts on tOSU freshman big Queen?…IMO he’s legit with a bright future ahead.

Think he plays for Maryland, but yes, he's a load.

You right,don’t know how I got that mixed up especially since am watching the game.

I dunno about the TOSU freshman Queen but the Terps freshman Queen is really good

The Braggin Rights game will be much harder this year

Mizzou whooping Kansas wow

Mizzou whooping Kansas wow

We really dodged a bullet with Storr. He is playing like garbage.

 

[Oracle21]

I feel like Dickinson is a guy that will make more money playing in college than he ever will in the pros

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Mizzou doing absolutely everything they can to choke this one away...

 

[Oracle21]

Fran is such a Kansas homer. Looks like Mizzou is gonna withstand a 30-8 run by Kansas.

From 57-33 to 65-63

 

[Illini2010-11]

Depending on how far Wisky falls in rankings, it is looking like the next 3 Illini games will be against ranked teams (that would be 4 in 5 games), and 5 games in the 2024 portion of the season being ranked opponents. So many quad 1 opportunities. Getting to 9-3 by the end of the year will look pretty good for resume.

Mizzou is no pushover. pretty fine team. 4 straight Ls is certainly on the table with this team. Expecting anymore than 1 these next three is just unrealistic.

Got work to do for sure.....

 

[Miles Leonard]

Memphis is 3 minutes away from losing at home to Arkansas St.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Memphis is 3 minutes away from losing at home to Arkansas St.

2:15 to go... 15 point game... this game has pretty much never been in single digits this second half

 

[Oracle21]

The demise of UConn appears to be greatly exaggerated

 

[Miles Leonard]

Yeah looks like Uconn is Uconn again

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

AP voters are a joke. Memphis 16? Even after losing to one Arkansas State I can promise you they'll be in the "others recieving votes" around the 26-30 range (if not, ranked)

 

[BillyBob1]

I feel like Dickinson is a guy that will make more money playing in college than he ever will in the pros

Probably why he still is in college!!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

I hate Duke as much as anyone, but it's obvious even to me that they're getting a home cooking job from the zebras in Kentucky.

 

[illinitiger]

Fran is such a Kansas homer. Looks like Mizzou is gonna withstand a 30-8 run by Kansas.

From 57-33 to 65-63

Mizzou pulls this out...how do you win a game out rebounded 40 (kansas) to 29 (Mizzou)?.

well you steal ball 14 times from Kansas and win turnover battle..,. Mizzou 11 TOs to Kansas 22 TOs.

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Ouch. What a way lose for Oregon. Banked in 3 and greatly contested at the end after slipping and almost not getting a decent shot off.

 

[Illini4Christ]

Man, UCLA beats Oregon, we lose to Northwestern, Penn State beats Purdue, Michigan beats Wisconsin? And that was from this past week. This is the Wild West and NOBODY will predict the future outcome of this league this season.

 

[illinifan1987]

UCLA is going to be tough. Looking forward to Skyy coming back on 2/11. I bet he gets booed at least a couple of times.
To the post above, the winner will have 6-7 losses

 

[illini510]

probably, "I wonder what I'm going to buy today?"

Hopefully, he's saving that money in the bank b/c this could be the best yearly contract he gets unless he gets a more lucrative deal overseas(which I doubt)
