None. It should be an Illinois blowout.

Which Mizzou player lights us up tomorrow?

Who is their third option?

 

[NarrowJ]

Who is their third option?

Unlikely imo

Toppin 22 ppg
Thornton 21 ppg
Sandfort 17ppg

We have to stop Mitchell inside and limit Crews 3pt attempts… he doesn’t move anywhere nearly as well as Sandfort (and obviously not Thornton) so I think we should be good there…

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Mizzou loses this week

 

[RowdyFromRow22]

Game day!

 

[illinifan1987]

The trophy goes back into the O&B case 92-77

 

[kyillini]

Go ILLINI. Win and begin the BT season on a roar. Lets Go!

 

[NarrowJ]

Line moved 1 point to -9.5
ML currently -455

 

[Da88]

Which Mizzou player lights us up tomorrow?

Looks like a candidate.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

KenPom would say Illinois by 7, 84-77
Total points 161
Pretty high for Braggin' Rights
Should be an exciting evening

 

[NarrowJ]

Looks like a candidate.

"How Jacob Crews became a good 3 pt shooter"

Missouri non-conf SOS: 361st

Looks like one possible reason lol

Limit his attempts to 7 or less

 

[Retro62]

We have been very bad at limiting the shots by our opponents better shooters. It's one of the things that I hope changes.

I'm actually impressed there are some Miznoz fans who have the intellectual capabilities to come up with stuff like this.

I'm just impressed they know how to use the internet.

I’m surprised that they can spell.

I'm unsurprised, however, that they believe a town called "Champagne" exists somewhere in the United States. Or the Balkans, to be fair. Let alone anywhere.

Morons.

This miznoz team stinks. If we prepped at all worth a darn, we should wipe the floor with these guys.

So I fully expect it to be a 1-2 possession game in the last two minutes. lol.

It's a single digit spread lol

I know everyone is ready to riot after an 85-77 victory where we led for 90% of it

 

[illinibbcz]

Illinois 86-74.

 

[IllGuardU]

I’ll be there with my sil who is a Mizzou fan. I know, I know

Know your Braggin’ Rights history. You can usually throw out rankings and records.

 

[Bigtex]

hmmm similar line as Nebraska game. Scratching my head.

Always a great game.

It’s true.

They also are currently on life support as far as the NCAA tournament goes… they played nobody in non-conf outside of Kansas and lost that game by 20+ points. Barring an unreal heater through their SEC slate they need this game. I expect to get their best game this evening (which if we bring at least our B game, I still don’t think it will be enough for them to come out on top).
