What is funny is that the angle looks like you might still have a slightly obstructed view, but hey you are very close.
I wish I had stupid money to spend. That is just one year of tuition money for one seat.

I was there. I think I was slightly above you and to your right. lol.
I missed out on the IFund tickets, hoping prices drop over the next few days, but I'll be there either way.

Lol. We are in a top right corner, but a friend got us tickets at face value rather than the wild StubHub prices … so I’m not gonna complain! For me it’s more about saying I was there, experiencing the fanfare beforehand, seeing orange shirts swarm Indy, etc. But yeah, football stadiums for these are just wild and they at least should set it up like St. Louis in 2005 and how Lucas Oil was for the BTT in 2021, with the court as close as possible to one end and then temporary seats … but money, haha.

I WILL SEE YOU IN INDY
Will disagree slightly with Gill. Andre defense stepping up has been the best. Everyone has stepped up, but Dre is going gonzo with effort on defensive side now. Phenomenal.
Need Bos to give us something (SOMETHING) offensively this game.
This will be a game, both teams and coaches will be ready. Officiating and free throws made and missed will be deciding factor.
As long as we don't get any Big10 officials. I love our chances at a W.

More points than opponent. Easiest Madden math.
The beauty of this team is we’ve got 8 legitimate scorers. Boswell hasn’t been the same scorer he has since before the injury and that’s honestly been ok.
Everyone’s bought in. That’s how you win championships.

I re-watched the entire Illinois UConn game from earlier this season and it’s shocking how different the team — specifically the lineups and usage — were back then. With the game still in doubt before that crazy four point play where the shot clock mistakenly reset, the five “finishers” Illinois had on the floor were Boswell, Tomi, Jake, Ben and Petrovic, with Lee swapping in and out for Jake on offense/defense. Neither Wagler nor Andrej were in at the end and neither got much playing time in the second half.
The bulk of the offensive execution was Boswell driving and shooting threes and Big Z clanking from the arc. It was totally unrecognizable compared to what we’ve become. And that gives me hope for Saturday
Defense didn’t seem as awful as I recalled, with the exception of Petrovic who was notably frustrated by every screen. Do they not do those in Serbia???
I'll be at the game Saturday (and hopefully Monday). Where's the place to be pre-game? Is tailgating a thing? If you can't tell, I'm new to this. Thanks in advance!
I'll be there too! And wondering same question on where the Illini pregame is at. Dan--any word yet?
Other bars that fans are gathering at?

That's somebody who is fully intending to go the game, but hoping for an off chance they can settle up on the mortgage at the same time.

They still win...
They were better, and also coached a lot better with a much better gameplan.
