I like it
Tomi 22/12/5 incoming.
Better matchup with a smaller team, but we better come ready to play, obviously. Hopefully, we don't get into a three point shooting contest with them; think we should drive against a smaller team and try to get Freemantle in foul trouble. We need to find a way to get stops.
Sean vs Brad. Let the games begin. Both our bigs can make Freemantle work. We play our game and we will win.
We should beat either of the teams that played tonight, but we could also easily lose to either one.
The @Indy Illini Fan bowl is officially on!!
Man I wanted to play whichever team that lost.

Time to make him eat those words!
tomi needs to feast in the paint and not sit around the 3 pt line for this one.
Nice to see a guy like Foster have a career game against someone other than us. Going to be a freaking war. Tomi better stay outta foul trouble and Kylan needs to lock down on Conwell.
Our defense is toast lol - we better score 90…
Line will be about 5 per Kenpom.
That first half I would love Xavier. Second half would have loved Texas. IL is the far better team but that was the case against a few teams that beat them.
I am not overly impressed with Xavier. Texas let them have several open looks for three. Our size will give them trouble. They remind me of Iowa and we beat them handily. I do not believe they match up well with us.
If we play hard from the tip to the end we will win. Need to show up, win or go home now!
Or explain to him to use the word "couldn't" if he wants to really diss the Illini.
