Still waiting on game time at Iowa (Sun, Jan 11) to be set (11:00am or 3:30pm CT on FOX). Not sure when that will get announced, stay tuned

My assumption is it will be based on when the NFL playoff schedule is announced tomorrow night. That's why there's uncertainty because it won't be known until it is determined which game Fox will have.

RE: The other game I hope Illini fans attend in huge numbers, it looks like the Illini/Northwestern game in Evanston is sold out. So, those of us trying to attend who don't have tickets yet will have to turn to StubHub.

Will be there!

Iowa took care of business against UCLA yesterday. If they beat Minnesota, and we Rutgers this week, Sunday might make for a very meaningful game!

Just a little EvanMiya ON/OFF data for fun:

Best 2: Boswell, Tomi
Best 3: Boswell, Tomi, Wagler
Best 4: Boswell, Tomi, Wagler, Stojakovic
Best 5: Boswell, Z, Wagler, Davis, Mirkovic

Wouldn’t have guessed that as our best 5. However, that is a small sample size. The best 5 with a reasonable sample size is what I suppose I’d expect: Boswell, Tomi, Wagler, Stojakovic, Mirkovic

interesting. the ball does move a lot better when Jake is in vs Andre... but andre can make so many tough shots inside the paint and raises the ceiling. got to figure a way to perfectly incorporated into the offense without having the ball stuck in a black hole leading to turnovers.

The Jake lineup is a very small sample size… like less than 15 total minutes. So that’s flukey. Best lineup with a decent sample size is our current starters (which makes sense I guess).

that makes sense. if they went on a run and he hit a bunch of 3s it will skew it. I guess my point is ball movement is what makes this team elite... but andre is our best paint finisher... need to find that balance
