Game Thread: Illinois at USC

[zentrails]

Baker-Mazara's out. We should definitely win this.

That's what Michigan thought when Ayo was out not too many seasons ago,
hopefully our guys play well, then it doesn't matter

 

[zentrails]

Arenas is really good

He's sick or just getting over being sick

 

[illinifan1987]

lol , been home for over 2 month's now.......

Oh, my bad. I thought you posted about being almost home a few games ago. I blame it on the alcohol and candy

 

[kyillinifan]

Go Illini! Win tonight.

 

[DeonThomas]

Think it's time to officially move Ty Rodgers to "Out for Season."

Not really sure any of us want him attempting a comeback at this late stage in the season. Roles and team chemistry are already established. Speculating he should still have three full seasons of eligibility left (regular red shirt and medical red shirt now used).

Arenas is really good

But also out of control…. Has some Belo to him in that regard

 

[ptgrd23]

Arenas is really good

He has potential but shooting 35% is not really good. Neither is 0.75 assist to turn over ratio.
Kylan will help him shoot 25% this game.

USC 2 best players are bigs - Ausur 16 ppg 6 rbg 6'9" and Colfie 10 ppg 8 rbg 6'10"

With Mirk, Tomas and big Z should handle them

I look back at USC's schedule and they don't have a big signature win yet. Let's take care of business and not be USC's first signature win of the season.

 

[gary?]

win by one, just win. but i feel like it will be 15+

Love the blue Block FIs. So pleased they're back in the rotation again after all these years.

If this is a reference to Lville I’ve always assumed that was for “Littyville.” Lville…tell us who you are.

 

[Altuve27]

I’m going to blunt: If we are who we think we are, we need to take care of this one. No Baker-Mazara and Arenas will take 25 shots to score 25 points.

Don’t jack around and take care of business.

Plz Win

I-L-L!

 

[BrownTown]

I didn't wanna say this before he got cleared...

But did anyone else take Brad's comments about leaving Andrej back in Champaign for the West coast trip as an ultimatum?

Like a..I know you are not 100% but if you can't play through it..maybe stay home away from the team.

 

[illinifan1987]

My hope would be he takes 27 shots to get to 27 points or smth.

27 shots for 27 points?

 

[DB11Headband]

I foresee a comfortable win.

 

[WolfpackIllini]

Plz Win

I-L-L!

I-N-I !!!

Me and my dog right now waiting for the game to start…

 

[thehass]

Good call Louisville!

I'd be overly cautious here.

Use him if necessary. otherwise save him for when it is necessary.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

I foresee a comfortable win.

 

[thefalcon5]

Surprised the lines still sitting at -8.5 with the news Andrej is in and CBM is out.
