High knees will do his best to keep this a close game

This is exactly why the program has better depth this season. Almost like they expected issues with availability throughout the season. Lets hope it pays off today.

Every. Single. Year. We are so snakebit.

I’m no longer inclined to believe it’s bad luck at this point. Our injury prevention conditioning is not good enough to win at a high level.

My overreaction level is set to Shoulder Shrug.

Go Illini!


Edit: (read in Elmo voice) does Elmo have shoulders?

This is like showing your dominance by peeing on Purdue's homecourt.

Not expecting a W, honestly. Will be tough to beat them under any circumstances, but on the road, down KB, Mirk not 100%, seems like a tall order.

The other side of this is that they've played with poise all season and this will be a good test.

 

[skyIdub]

The best part of these OT games prior to ours is zero talking heads. Straight to our tip/beginning with no garbage time.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Fox Sports app will have this game from the beginning. That's what I'm on from my Roku.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Alright, well here we go. Good scheduling today. UCONN game ended just in time for our game

 

[Bigtex]

Expecting 1 possession game for Illinois to win or be competitive they need good Andrej today

 

[illiniguy24]

Alright ladies and gents lock in let’s go!

Let Braden Smith get his and lock up everyone else. We can win this.

 

[DeeIL89]

High knees........ugh. Even more motivation to get this win.

 

[HailtotheChief]

We need the Bigs to pick and pop some 3s at a high level
