Win or lose, I want to see inspired play with few turnovers and good decision making by players and staff

Great post. That's where I'm at. Play hard, see good decision making, try to keep extended scoring droughts to a minimum(take the ball to the basketball) and see if we can be in the game late.

Let's see KJ live up to his lottery pick expectations. He's being painted as one of the top 5 "non professional" players in the world. I'm ready to see that.

Next man up...!

Tomislav Ivisic questionable in the availability report (and of course Morez Johnson is out).

If Brad holds Tomi out of WI/Duke, I wonder if it’s a strategic play with the NCAA to attribute what would probably be losses anyway to injury. It’d also give Tomi more time to recuperate for the end of the season.

Seems like conceding to me tho

Watching the B10 championship last year on BTN. Ty Rodger’s was a pivotal player and somehow he couldn’t cut it this year with a bunch of freshman? Blows my mind. Something doesn’t add up.

[WolfpackIllini]

Did we ever get the scoop on whether KJ pulled his hammy a couple games back?
And if so, if he is still affected by it?

 

[abchew2]

Is ivisic still dealing with his ankle ?

I thought it may be a new illness?

 

[nyc_illini]

I thought it may be a new illness?

have been enjoying BTNs replay of last years BTN Championship win over WI

 

[Turn N’ Burn]

Watching this makes me miss TSJ and Domask so much more. And happy that Hawkins decided to go elsewhere lol

 

[New Creation]

Watching this too.. It feels nice but sad at the same time seeing Hawkins, Dain and Luke playing somewhere else this year.

In last three weeks my wife and I have lost three houses we bid on, had power failure at marina resulting in pipes freezing on our boat and helped her cousin move. I'm DUE for a win!
