If they play with the intensity and passion they did the other night they could win this one by double digits, but Rutgers will be playing for pride in their home court and have nothing to lose, so no way would I wager anything on this game.

What's the Kenyon spread? At this point that is the weakest aspect of or resume

Don't know the spread on KenPom, but we've been ranked in the 60s on KenPom all year, so that's not going to change much no matter what happens the rest of the season.

The Kenyan aspect of our resume is definitely weak. Fortunately, I don't think the committee looks at it officially.

The Big Ten has been so whacky this year, I have no idea what to expect. But one would think this Game carries a lot of weight of Groce's future.

KenPom system says 65-63, Illini
59% chance of winning the game. Not a gimme

This is on ESPN3 right? I see it listed but there's still no watch icon to click.

This game for Groce is like polishing your shoes.
Don't get so much for doing it, but big consequences for failure

Possible. I feel like we always come out flat in these early games though.

It is curious going west to east losing the hour, being in a hotel, early am breakfast and film, kids have a 12 o clock start, the flight and how teams traveling adapt to the situation.

Starting to heat up now

Seems like ever since this team learned how to play with intensity, our dunks have grown exponentially. Who would have thunk it
