Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Illini4Christ]

Let’s give a huge Illini shout out to Coach Fletch for over-seeing Tomi’s recovery and health from mononucleosis in record time.

Fletch made Tomi eat when he didn’t want to eat, he kept him hydrated and made sure he got his sleep and what normally happens when a person has this condition, which is a complete shutdown for six to eight weeks, he got him back to the court with a double-double effort in roughly two weeks.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

The guy in the boot is a Lotto pick, so it wouldn't be shocking IF he's 100%. If he dragging his legs around and does it.....that's more of an issue. Honestly, I'm shocked that he's going to give it a go.

the Vito at Jimmy Johns is the best

Italian Night Club for me, which is the Vito Favorite.

Great, Larry "corruption" Scirotto and High Knees.

Clang, clang

Harper returning, the blackout......the crowd is going to be pretty intense to start. Need to take them out of it early.

Looks like KJ is starting the game with 2 fouls

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Because it’s a Vito Coreleone gif or because a Don does as he pleases?

(Both are acceptable answers.)

it’s so appropriate in so many ways…….

Jimmy John's outdoes Jersey Mike's by a country mile. They are just better subs, even though I don't mind Jersey Mike's.

Jersey Mike's Club Supreme 'Mike's Way' on Rosemary Parmesan or a Big Wreck on Multi-Grain

No excuses. We need to win this game. Hard stop.

This is the worst pregame in recent memory

This is the worst pregame in recent memory

This will likely be the poorest managed game we have seen this season. Just great.

 

[RickF]

Jimmy John’s is almost as bad as Subway. Terrible bread

 

[Illini89]

This team needs a statement win

Got a bad feeling about this one...

Don't settle, attack the glass, and we will have a great game.

 

[Illini89]

I see a 20 point win

 

[WyattEarp]

This is the worst pregame in recent memory

Maybe, but it’s not the weirdest.

Burning Sage, Beet Juice Shots, Misc. Soccer & Tennis Ball Coordination Drills…

Probably morez too.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

If we are hoping to clinch a path to the sweet 16 that doesn't require a massive mountain to climb, we absolutely need this win.
