Limit the unforced turnovers take care of the ball, make the close range shots, and rebound

The angry elf won’t have his three golfing buddies there to keep KJ on the bench all night this time. Illini win this one.

Prediction (I am not seeing this as clearly as some others):

Illini 80
Whining Izzos 71

 

[lexwaldez]

Continue playing attacking offense, crash the board, limit turnovers, and keep 3s attempts to under 30 and we will get the win.

Limit turnovers, crash boards, and make free throws. We win on made free throws.

Let's make it loud in there! We're fueling up after an afternoon of shopping for baby stuff and will be ready to be making noise from the top row again.

Fresh food recommendation for CU, the new Mo's restaurant that just opened on Neil street is amazing. They have some Salvadorean dishes that absolutely blew us away.

FOTN family has been enjoying adult beverages in Champaign for 24 hours now, and we’re ready to see the House of ‘Paign rock like it hasn’t in years!

Nobody deserves a win on this board more than you Fighter!! Here's hoping it comes in a couple hours.....

More than any other facet of the game, this proves to me whether or not you know how to play the game right. If you are trying to dribble through a triple team or pass through ( which we do almost every game) then simply don't. Somebody is in position unguarded and likely to be a 40% guy from the arc when unguarded. Be aware and get it to him. Use our body and arm guard to protect the ball. The most important thing is to value possession until you get a good shot. If guys are moving and not standing, you will have the advantage. If you don't have the ball and your defender turns his head...cut!!!!

Maybe it's just memories from past games, but I believe there will be blood.
