Crash the hell out of the boards, cash in those 2nd chance points and win this. Kentucky will make their shots and we likely won't outshoot them, but we can demoralize them by getting extra possession after extra possession especially with Tomi pulling their big outside. Our effort level and a never quit attitude is what will decide this game. Just have to want it more every possession. Get. It. Done.

I feel like our foreign guys got a feel for what the tournament means on Friday. I’m not worried about us bringing the necessary intensity, just hope we somehow hit 40% from three again

I have no idea what to expect from this team tonight- if we play like we did against Xavier- I think we beat Kentucky. But we've had so many games that we just don't show up.

Let's show up punching!

I'll have to follow the game via app because I'm taking my kids to an airshow that has the Thunderbirds that's only in town every other year.

Should be a great airshow, you're a good dad. My favorite memory of one was when I served in the cruiser USS Truxtun. Our ship was one of 8 in a carrier battle group formation leaving west from Pearl Harbor to continue an 8 month Pacific deployment. The Admiral commanding the battle group was a former Blue Angels pilot. The Angels were in Pearl for an air show, and he arranged for them to do their practice show about 20 miles out to sea, at low altitude, directly over our battle group as thousands of sailors cheered themselves hoarse. A real Top Gun thrill.

Kentucky is a Jeckyl and Hyde team just like us. Lost to Georgia, won at Tennessee.

But at TN was probably the only full house they played all year where the opposing team had more fans.

Those of you at the game, I implore you… teach the current Krush how it’s done.

I genuinely hope every single fan who was there Friday is back. They were as loud and imposing as anything our crowd has shown all season. Hell, give them each season tickets to next year's game with an open bar

It's astonishing to me the level of superstition with jersey color and style. I'm fine with arguing about what jersey colors and styles should be in our rotation, but that's where it ends for me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to sit in the chair I sat in Friday wearing the same outfit. Go Illini!

I got drunk for Friday night’s game… so I have no choice today 🍻

Is there a radio broadcast with Brian Barnhart and Deon today?

Hope to see more of Morez and Isivic playing together today versus the Xavier game

That Amari Williams is a big kid. Has to have +30 pounds on Tomi.
