It's times like these that make me really appreciate the Loyalty twitter feed with all it's updates and gifs. Thanks Dan!

Hoping Matic sees some tick in this game (and not just in the last couple of minutes of a blowout).

I just hope UI can keep Augustana under 100. If the Illini stay within 20 it'll be a moral victory. I can't believe such a powerhouse is bothering to play at little ol' Illinois.

Cal just lost to Div II Chaminade. Upsets happen, especially in November.

If our players don't play hard, they could be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Not just a loss, an embarrassing blowout. That's what happens when you make Wyking Jones your head coach.

Well, we have had our share of upsets handed to us over the years. But, this year's group, from the AD down to the managers is so new that "playing down to our opponents level," or "taking the night off" hopefully is such a foreign concept to this group that we see a consistent effort, no matter who the opponent is. Nothing but good ol' focus about getting the job done.

Superb start to the game! Running every chance we get. TF just missed two breakaway (somewhat acrobatic) layups.

Good start. Seems like we have good energy. Starting five was really cooking until BU changed out 4 of the 5. Seemed to slow down a bit after that. Trying different combinations, I guess.

What a great night of sports!! Not only do we get the O&B tonight, but the Blackhawks are on the NHL channel, and the Aussie open is on the Golf channel!!! Plenty to keep a sports fan busy on this evening!!

Like the flow of the game but refs are letting them play down low... Black got fouled for sure

I'm going to say that with being up by 10 after 10 minutes, the goal is now to stretch it to 20 by the half. We'll see.
