Excited to be in the third row behind the Illini bench for this one. Look for me; I’ll be the one in the orange sweatshirt with the Davis Chief in white. REALLY hope that Mirk gets better and that the flu bug doesn’t hit any other Illini…

Minnesota is pretty good. We NEED to be focused and ready for a fight.

Minnesota has 3 decent wins over Iowa, Indiana, and @NW. They also lost to Missouri by 23.

Wouldn’t go that far. They’re decent I guess but nothing I’ve seen to say they are pretty good

 

[CleverHandle1]

Let's start an 8-game home winning streak here.

This is a “short rest” game. In the past 4 NCAA tournaments I’m fairly certain the team has gone out on the second game of the two game weekend. This will be a good test of coaching and training against an opponent with limited practice and preparation. Hoping for a win on my birthday.

Not really, it's the same amount of rest as the last 3 games, including tonight.

Illinois has an 8 game winning streak against Minnesota and hasn’t lost since January of 2019.

I remember that game. It was in Minneapolis, Ayo's freshman year, and in those previous "bad luck" blue jerseys.

We HAMERED them that year when they played us at our place.

The bug Iowa passed on is probably going to be in full swing by the time we get to MN. Fortunately, it is MN. We should survive.

Winning is fun. Let's do it again.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Which would be (checks notes)… the second game of a weekend.

 

[I-L-L 1318]

This team is special.... with that being said, need to take care of business. I will be in the house, last saturday game for me was USC last year. I can't bear to watch a similar performance!!
