    What is the hit the road jack split screen thing? Do the students do something until the fouled out guy sits down?

    Interesting. Of my 30 some years of Illini fandom, I never cottened to this team's personality at all. I think the rent-a-player spackle doesn't help us feel cuddlley with this group. And I've always enjoyed cuddling. If you can't shoot, can't pass, can't care, can't adjust, you can't win . Brad...

    Good to see them get to the line. That helps. Northwestern gets 32 points free to Illini's 6? WTH? Epps needs to be a bit more aware of his surroundings. Can't get your pocket picked twice late. Passing was better. There still is some "do you realize they are the team in red?" passes. Why are...

    It's games like this, and there have been a lot of them this year, that I am so grateful for the ole DVR. Did we have a coach tonight? I wish when things aren't going our way, BU would make an in game adjustment or 3. We seem more engaged when we play faster. More fresh body rotation please...

    Being new to the board and an old kinda guy, I would say just enjoy the games that are enjoyable and feel free to !!!!! when they suck. Don't need to judge anyone's feelings or opinions. The TV doesn't lie. Being worried about seeds and first place and all that stuff is fools gold. Austin Peay...

    I enjoyed that. We put together a couple of decent halves for once. I was wondering why Plummer wasn't in at crunch time. It smelled of OSU, Plummer hot. Plummer invisible. But this time he was just on the bench. Am I missing something? Sure he's not the best defender but we are better with foot...

    Per Bruce's usual, the game was lost coming out of the halftime locker room. I would enjoy a coach more that recognizes in game trends. Like Plummer is hot. Kofi is getting hammered and can't finish. Trent is a mess. Pressing when the team isn't giving max effort helps to engage all. 94 feet of...
