Tonight's slate of games might be more intriguing than Saturday's.

Tennessee @ Florida
Pitt @ Duke
Kentucky @ Georgia
Arizona @ West Virginia
Clemson @ Louisville
Cincy @ Baylor
Nebraska @ Iowa
Auburn @ Texas
Texas Tech @ BYU
SMU @ UNC
Michigan @ UCLA

That's 11 games with NCAA tournament implications for both teams. (well, except for Iowa :) )

Dykes is just horrible. He's been the biggest SEC homer for years and years. That goes back to when ESPN was all about the ACC.

I mean it’s literally a fact. They were beating us at halftime. Middle Tennessee was the only team to be beating them at half prior to Florida tonight

You aren’t kidding. This might be one of the most impactful nights of the season so far.

It's good to be back, baby! I remember during the 2005 and subsequent 2006 season, it seemed like we were always someone's themed night and highest attendance when we came to town (the latter in no small part because we brought a ton of fans!). For some reason, I also DISTINCTLY remember this stat from January 2006, and I just found it in our very own Illinois Loyalty archives:

Jan. 2006 - Hoosiers Defeat Illini

Excerpt: Tonight's defeats marks the 2nd straight road defeat for Illinois, and the 3rd straight regular season road loss where the opposing fans stormed the court in celebration

You want to be the type of program that has a target on its back ... it's so good to finally be back at that level!
