Tonight will show what kind of mental state the Illini are in. An ugly loss and players have quit. A solid win and maybe health (physical and mental) is on the mend. A nail biter? Who knows.

Time to get out the Fran Meter.

Gotta be honest I can’t believe we’re favored by -10.5 after the last week and a half

 

[LuckyIllini]

There should be no excuses. Illini ought to win this game.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Need this win bad

 

[RollChief]

If we lose I'm retiring from the Loyalty Board for the sake of my sanity...

Until I get the info itch around Saturday before the Michigan game lol

Have to make open shots. Have to defend. Have to rebound. Have to win.

I agree. It all comes down to whether or not coaches can gameplan a way to defend the perimeter successfully. I don't particularly like our odds, but that's why we play the game. Win or lose it will be mostly fun at the State Farm Center. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the game tonight. If we lose tonight, it gets ugly(er).

 

[Chillinini]

Don't know which Illini team shows up tonight. Really..... wouldn't be surprised of a blowout for either side.

 

[illinifan1987]

I'll try and have some positivity for this one...

I like our odds tonight. I like them much less in the next game against Michigan.

Going to be really clear after tonight if this team has any fight left. With no Morez, DGL is about the only dawg left. Hope he gets some good run tonight and plays sound D, no need to gamble for the highlight reel.

You know what, I'm in. A loss tonight and I'm out until Sunday. It's better for everybody.

If only he plays....

The first ten minutes of this game will show absolutely everything we need to know about where this team's at and what they have left.

Agree but heart says one thing and head sees doom on the horizon.
