I’d appreciate a 20+ point halftime lead so I can enjoy my flight please and thank you

 

[derrick6]

WAIT......WAIT....WHAT????? CARVER WAS AN ILLINOIS ALUM????? OMG DID I KNOW THIS AND FORGET OR AM I TODAY YEARS OLD??

All of a sudden it feels like a home game

 

[altgeld88]

Am regretting taking off my phone the March 2024 screen grab of our 31-5 (or something close) lead at IC.

It’s deja vu all over again. Keep it going.

LFG!!!!! keep playing D like your life depended on it and crashing the boards.

Torn on this one because of the time slot. Guessing low scoring first half say 28-26 Iowa. Followed by a little better second half with the final of Illinois 69-Iowa 64 ILL !

I love when I am wrong, or am I wrong on purpose?

 

[HailtotheChief]

Great start. Only thing better would be a whole section Orange Crush surprise reveal! Like they have before. Someone in Iowa's ticket office got fired that day! Lol

Oh and Iowa's head coach red faced about to have a stroke! Lol

Earning those pay checks today so far!

When this team is locked in and it has been lately more often than not … There’s always things to clean up (like 2H Rutgers) …

But overall, we play like this, who can realistically hang ? I come up with 5-6 programs …

“He see’s a lane like a running back”

Absolute bar

On point with that comment!

Recruit European players because the 11am Illini curse doesn't apply when it's 6pm on the body clock

It's Whoop a$$o'clock in Eastern Europe.

This is the kind of effort and intensity that shocks tourney teams that haven't seen you every year. You can only watch so much film.....it's hard to prepare for a right hook to the temple.

The Illini Blue uniforms are BAD!

(A good bad.)

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Gotta love announcers. /s Every Iowa make

Every Illini make

To be fair, the Iowa baskets are a much less frequent occurrence

 

[jamie13197]

Come on, fellas. Stop the run.

 

[CDRUSN]

Tomi should never dribble several times in traffic. Never ends well. Now, back to the asswhuppin', don't let Iowa back in this game.

 

[madillini4]

Let’s get back to moving the ball around please

 

[FloridaMan]

Yes!!!! Let's go!!!!!

 

[PasadenaIllini]

We need to stay focused against this team. They are almost always going to be within striking distance due to their 3-point shooting.

Just killing them on the boards
