Dude, Illinois totally won!!

Gotta think Nebraska fans are going to be the most charged with rationalizing the travel and ticket costs due to how uniquely special the year is for them. Then the Illini. Maybe a lot of red in the stands not repping Houston. Let's be LOUD!!

Interesting Tidbits: SERIES HISTORY UW - ILLINOIS » Illinois was the first college opponent UW ever faced at Hec Edmundson Pavilion in 1927 » Washington owns a narrow 4-3 lead in the all-time series with Illinois » UW has visited Champaign just once, a 76-55 Illinois win in 1991 » Ranked No. 9...

Got to see Morez REAL close, and he is a presence. Snagged the first 3 rebounds of the game and didn't look like UW wanted any part of that battle. He did wander 5 feet from me as halftime started and gave me a very confused look as I yelled I-L-L and a lame 'cmon?' Then shortly missed a 3 badly...

Any insight into what's happening with Petrovic? I'm really surprised he hasn't adjusted yet but also that he isn't getting much of any discussion for how to maximize his role. We've heard he is lightening quick, Adriatic league MVP, great on p&r. Seems like he has struggled with the length...

You might be surprised at how much orange there will be in the stands. (too late!) Seriously, though, the Illini side sold a lot of tix very quickly once they were released, but the stadium looks asymmetric and gets much "higher" #s of rows on the Vols side

Skyy Clark with a great game against UW last night, 6 for 6 on 3s, took some charges early, and made clutch free throws late. Diallo looks much better this season, better pacing, and Steinbach is a magnet for the ball, seemed automatic when he collects the ball close to the rim.

I think you're referring to a different form of elevation. Champaign is higher than Seattle

For hyperlocal options: The University Ave has tons of international options, especially for lunch. There is a large fancyish outdoor mall just N of the stadium called University Village with some good options, including Din Tai Fung (famous dumplings, everything is good), Ma'Ono fried chicken...

Presale code is VERY guessable. They are not bashful with ticket pricing.

Seemed like UW did that in full force out of some desperation and it worked against him several times. Then the arm injury and other teams scheming similarly also made him more vulnerable, and he didn't do well until late in the season when he split that double team more often. It does seem like...

Washington has a nice arena and now also a practice basketball facility right in the heart of the athletic complex under construction too. Indiana and Illinois games looked just about 50/50 visitors to home fans so lots of upside if they can get fans more excited.

We should still acknowledge that we have much more longstanding trust in this board's insider crew than we do in any of these recruits

A lot of people covet jobs that allow you to do badly
