I marvel at our fans caring about the NIT every time.
Here's hoping this is our last NIT berth for a good long while.

Ok, I have to tune out. I'm sorry the seniors have to go out like this, but I just can't watch this junk anymore.
Disagree. This is a perfect game to let him play through whatever is spooking him on the offensive end (i.e., his shooting). To me, that is why you play the NIT -- to give younger guys a chance to PLAY, rather than have their !!! yanked for every mistake they make. AJ needs to get PT, period. For the new coaching staff's benefit and AJ's as well.
Same would apply to DJW, but who knows what's going on with him.

I doubt that there are many of us, but those who don't know how to die are here to cheer in whatever format is available to us.

I have a feeling this might be the last Illini blowout we see for a while.

Less worried about losing this game and more worried about where Kipper is.

I do expect growing pains next year (OSU had them this year), but I am excited for the longer term future. Wouldn't mind getting back into this game first, tho.
Eh. I always want the Illini to win but a loss here is not the worst thing.
I know it's the NIT and in the big scheme it's not that important. However, there needs to be a new rule within the athletic department: no scheduling for the SFC in March until after Selection Sunday. I mean how long is this going to be a problem? This happened during Webers tenure when we had to go to Stony Brook. Renovations is one thing, but cmon a musical? I get that they need to make money but is the potential gain better than the Illinois brand being represented in MSG? I mean how much are they making on a traveling Broadway show ( means lots of the Broadway cast is not performing) on a Wednesday night in Champaign?
I would say not even remotely close to the worst we've looked all season.
Same here. Curious as to why nothing has been mentioned.
Kipper is at the game, on the bench, in uniform. Just hasn't gotten in. Possibly he got injured but he is definitely at the game.

Well at least the Walker drama will be solved soon.
Dakich, shut up.
Team, play smarter.
Why the hell is this place sold out? Has their program really been so bad that this is important to them?

I think the thing I'm looking forward to most entering the Underwood era is his emphasis on scoring in the first 7 seconds. I'm so beyond this walking it up brand of basketball, pass it around, rinse and repeat.
