Folks,

I am in the Rams den and I’m already smelling blood, they’re nervous…

Confidence is being restored….or maybe it’s the beer!

I-N-I

Don't know about the other two but Dorsey is horrible

 

[Greensboro]

Just need to get the JV game over

Contain Hill as much as possible. Rebound, rebound, rebound and rebound. VCU is going to be pesky and attempt to be physical. Got to match their energy.

Dorsey ref'd our B10 tourney game against WI and our game against NU. Not sure about others.

Seen them live and they will run their Havoc defense and the such and pressure a lot early, my hope is we weather that early psycho push from them defensively and clamp down on them early. This really is the impose your will game, if not they will play close and keep themselves in it. These VCU teams really take that mantle of being an upset team big time, it’s their culture, we need to be the adult and the room and put them in timeout.

Virginia gets a question about VCU she can’t handle and Governor makes a fast break.

Yep. Pretty sure he was the one who called Andrej for the shooting foul when he missed Blackwell by a foot. Also, he routinely made some terrible calls when he was behind the play and/or far off the ball. He was brutal

Hopefully not full of bricks

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Dorsey was the one who threw out Brad a few years ago in the OSU game. They have a history

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Well folks, I'd expect our game starting sometime around 7:15 PM.

 

[illinifan1987]

Let's just have a very comfortable win here. Never in doubt after the first 5 minutes. Keaton and/or Mirk may sniff a triple double. Somewhere around 98-65
