Game Thread: Illinois vs Xavier

[blife]

Let's go for 10 or less turnovers, and hopefully not 6 of them in the first 4 minutes.

Quote from the Kentucky board:

“I have a buddy there. Said there are a TON of Illinois fans.”

1) Great job, Illini Nation!

2) Let’s hope this pumps our guys up and carries us to a victory in Milwaukee … hopefully two!

I'm hoping Troy can come back and there will be no Kentucky fans on Sunday

Win or go home time.

Chuckles Barkley just dissed us big time. Thinks Xavier will run away with the game.

The intellect is lacking in this one.

CBS Halftime Show = Barkley and crew just handing the game to X tonight. Should I still watch the game live, or go watch paint dry?

Charles Barkley, and basically everyone else, just handed the win to Xavier... time to take care of business.

Yeah… that was a less than enjoyable segment to watch…

I love multi-view. They are best seen and not heard.

The same crew that also had UNC winning the natty, so lets just block all of their noise out and have them shut the f**k up

I’d like to see us hand Chuck and basically everyone a sh*tsandwich.

I hope Kylan turns into a IlliniWolf! Knocks down some 3s! His presence is so under rated. Especailly of he hits 3s.

 

[ChiIllini75]

That group is awful every year, they obviously have no interest in college hoops.

You mean the Barkley who picked Grand Canyon to beath Maryland, Montana to beat Wisconsin, Clemson over McNeese, HighPoint over Purdue, and Utah St over UCLA.

I like him picking Xavier.

Barkley is completely uninformed on college basketball. He has no idea what he’s talking about with the tournament.

Lucas Byrd won his match at the ncaa wrestling tournament.

 

[Orangetool]

Need at least 10 from big Ben tonight

 

[redwingillini11]

I, for one, think we should just go out and win this game.

 

[redwingillini11]

Need at least 10 from big Ben tonight

If we get 3+ 3s from Ben tonight, I like our chances.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

FWIW Vegas is liking us. I'm at the South Point sports book all weekend, and I'm watching our line gradually go from -3 to -4.5 on the big board

He’s turrible.

Tonight's not our last night of the season...

 

[DB11Headband]

Don’t ask me how, but I’ll be watching from a bar in the Ann Arbor area.

Quick start and limit one of Fremantle or Conwell, and I feel really good about our chances. Go Illini!
