I’m taking Southern +33.5. We are flat and win 105-77.

I feel this could be an important game in the sense that it is an opportunity to get Petrovic some significant minutes. This then determines if he is a viable contributor from here on out. If he doesn’t see a lot of tic today then I don’t think we will ever see him contribute.

Agreed. I know it’s important to have a big winning margin, but I’d also really like to see Petrovic and Lee get some decent minutes to see what they can do. We should still be able to win by a lot. We have to assume eventually one of our guys will get hurt and we will need someone to step up

It's all about the seniors' early bird dinners.

Big Z with the mask, looks like his nose is still fragile from last week. Worked out pretty well for Ayo!

Also would be good to work on the zone they showed vs missouri a little more. That really messed missouri up. I think the lack of turnovers by the illini is at least in part due to the fact that they play almost exactly the same defense all the time. Mixing it up may occassionally hurt you, but most the time it helps. And it gives you an option if you are having trouble staying with a team defensively, like in the alabama game where they couldn't guard anyone.

So that's what "Big Z" stands for!

Ooh. Congrats! I’m considering pulling the trigger on retirement this coming year if I can get over the irrational anxiety about it.

Just saw a Mizuho commercial.

Lets carry over the energy from the Mizzou game and not come out flat.

The Big10 network is feeding Myles Dread well. Yikes

The 8000 calorie a day diet worked!!!!

 

[OrangeBlue98]

We don’t see a lot of zone. Good to see them attack the seams of the zone inside.
