Game Thread: Illinois at Northwestern

[Orangetool]

Looking for a big game out of Big Ben.

 

[aveseaboy]

Maybe we could see some Toni Billic tonight!

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

A bit confused why our coaching staff has elected to participate in the "white out."

 

[IlliniReb]

F'ing Iowa, getting Miri sick.

Not sure is you heard,their whole team was sick when they played IL

Iowa sucks.

Looking for a big game out of Big Ben.

His overall effort+3 made threes=Easy Peasy

Edit: Lemon Squeezy

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Barnhart said he’s sick. Iowa germs!

I was afraid the flu would now start on the beloved. God I hate Iowa

 

[zentrails]

We’re cooked if ole Hummy is guarding Martinelli

He's been decent on D this year, maybe he can at least slow him down, that would probably be enough

 

[kyillinifan]

Is it just Mirk who is out? Need a big game from Ben.

 

[Deep]

Hopefully the illness does not spread through the team.

 

[Todd99]

Need to quarantine Mirk before he infects anyone else and we wind up with a MASH unit like we had last year at about this time!

 

[Bigtex]

Can’t afford a January let down here

 

[CDRUSN]

Nice board and putback Tomi.

More time for Petro. I am pumped

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Is this camera angle from atop the new Memorial Stadium scoreboard?

Its steep!

 

[RML]

Andrej might get a lotta points tonight.

 

[curtmoss]

This AS up top wrinkle is kinda interesting

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Good to see Tomi active and engaged …

 

[Jon]

No early jinx, but 3 shots in NW living up to the worst 3pt shooters in the league

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Ben man.... Keaton has that rebound and putback. Just knocks him down.

 

[BoiseBaller]

Blew the fast break. Don't let these guys hang around.

Offense looks shaky without Mirk. Going to have to run through Tomi tonight.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Ben has to make those corner 3s or we better get Davis in there …

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Pretty wild seeing us imposing our will inside while watching an opponent shoot three after three

 

[ChiTown]

It’s time for Jake to come knock down some triple.

 

[BoiseBaller]

I'd rather Davis got the start.
