Game Thread: Illinois vs Iowa

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Admittedly, it's from a small sample size, but we're seeing 2:1 Illini to Iowa fans out and about in downtown Houston.

Love to hear that, bless you for making the trip! The rest of Illini Nation that couldn’t swing it is proud!!

They are all at this hotel. It's about 10:1 in here.

Illinois 91
Iowa 66

It's a feel good, dog-walking celebration for 40 minutes, in what is a coronation of Brad Underwood.

The last 2 games we have shot 23 and 24 3’s respectively. That feels like the right number. Get the inside game working and then hit some 3’s. This fan base deserves to win one of these games in something other than a last second finish.

40 minutes for glory.

Let's get this done.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Crack out the ball Illinois

Our team is our fame protector,
On boys, for we expect a
Victory from you Illinois!

Not a good 2pt defense, Iowa:

Showing up to take care of bidness in the Script Whites.

A full, furious forty to reach the Final Four.

We love no other.

Here we come

Without question, this is the best opportunity the Illini have had to earn a trip to the final four in a long time. I expect a very strong performance today. Lets go!

 

[IlliniWatcher]

As long as Illinois plays all 40 minutes - the way Houston didn't - this one should be in the bag. That Final Four is so close...

We should have worn orange. I'm nervous now.

Time to get cleaned up and decide which bourbon Im going to pour.

Go Illini.

Anxiety reducer first, then if things go well, your favorite after the game.

 

[RML]

Come out like we did against Houston and this could be a great day. LFG!

Well, let's have the offense skip the 24 point first half we had against Houston.

Big Bags for AMFS, Tomi and Jake. Lots of A+ Games to be UNPACKED!

ILL LFG!!!!

 

[Altuve27]

My biggest concern is the foul shooting. We have fallen off a cliff in that area the last 7-8 games.

Absolutely cannot afford to miss 8-9 free throws today.

 

[hoopsfan47]

After all those OT and buzzer beater losses, we have so many breaks coming our way. Let's cash a couple in today and punch our ticket.

As an Illini fan, one has to feel we are as far behind in catching breaks as any team in the land. Got to change at some point...why not now?

We were snake bit by multiple injuries this season that kept this team from showing how talented they were with an EDG attitude, trusting their coaches, and trusting in each other. Time for things to even out and pay off.
