Game Thread: Illinois vs Duke

[biglug58]

What a nice pregame on FOX. Won’t have to sweat for volleyball to end.

 

[AeroEng88]

There is an unpredictable quality to this team that makes me hopeful but the logical part of me says a win is unlikely. Leaning into unpredictability. ILL

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about Cooper Flagg?

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about Cooper Flagg?

No, but he's everything that was advertised. At least there's no chance that he's back next year

I have bad news for you tonight….it’s going to be non-stop.

 

[kyillinifan]

Agreed. Get him in foul trouble tonight. Go Illini.

 

[Jimbo]

I have this surprising feeling we will be effective from 3...

That’s called fan’s optimism. I get that before games too.

 

[BBlock24]

Can we keep it within 10?

If you take a shot for every mention of Cooper Flagg, you will be passed out before the game even starts.

 

[pruman91]

I'm already pizzed............ I recorded the wisky- ducks game earlier and watched it hoping for a wisky loss.....

It stopped the recording with wisky up 66-63 with less than 20 seconds to go in regulation left for the acclaimed Bob's Burgers show......

I s**t you not..........................friggin FOX and Hulu Live +............it really really did........

found out the final score later........should be able to view it tomorrow on B$G +............

No, but he’s what we would love to have. He’s 1/1 and worthy of all the attention to be honest.

Isn't he the character from the Stephen King novel, The Stand?

 

[DeeIL89]

Very important we rebound and play defense better.

Weird gut feeling we win this one even though we shouldn't. Have no explanation for the feeling other than just think we'll come out with a ton of energy and make shots

He is from Maine....
