I’d really love to see the athletic department do a better job of choreographing the ILL INI chant better. Having the announcer say ILL and the crowd responding INI is just lame. Why can’t they just make it so that one side of State Farm center is always the ILL side, and the other is INI...

I was hoping someone would do that for me!!

I like that the Artemis rocket is in Illini orange.

I like that we’re playing UConn. Played them already and have an axe to grind. I’ll take a chip on the shoulder as an advantage every friggin day of the year.

Getting my viewing apparatus ready.

Me too. Our shaky end to the season turned people off to us. That’s a great prelude to a massive sneak attack.

I’m not buying the home court advantage for Houston. I actually think they got screwed when 3 B10 teams ended up in their region. Those fans will be rooting for Illinois. I’m thinking a 50/50 crowd. The fans watching the Neb/Iowa game before us won’t leave, will they? I wouldn’t.

Yep, this team can get tighter than a pair of pantyhose on Kofi Cockburn.

We can beat anyone. That’s not a bad place to be going into the post season. I say forget about the pressure of winning the B10. That ship has sailed. Focus on getting better and having a great post season. The UCLA game won’t mean jack if we make a deep run in the tournament (Final 4). Or...

Yep. That was the night I knew things were not going to be the same for a while.

Mirk going to work in this one.

We Are Ready For War!

Right around the 13:30 mark in the second half Nebraska made a bad pass in the lane, and I said if we went down and scored we’d have a good shot of winning. They took advantage of a mistake and I just knew our guys were dialed in at that point.

Boilermakers weren’t happy meetin’ Keaton.
