If we play hard, it should be a relatively easy win. Hopefully we can get some easy looks and get guys confidence back up before we face NW.

While technically not a must win game for the beloved, tonight really is.
I'm fairly resistant to saying a single game is must win, but considering how bad losing this game would tank our resume due to the quad 4 loss, I'm almost inclined to say it is especially considering our tough schedule the rest of the way. That said, it doesn't change anything about your approach. Just gotta come out and play with a lot of effort and strong defensively and the rest will take care of itself. I was very impressed with Dawson Garcia last time we played them. Take his offense away and take the game.

We won't lose tonight.

Let's look back on our losses in categories:

Dang: @Iowa, @Indiana, @Maryland, Virginial

WTF: Penn State x2, Missouri, @Northwestern, Indiana

4/9 losses are to two different teams. We are 17-5 against teams not named Indiana or Penn State.

Outside of the Penn State & Mizzou disasters we haven't had a single event happen this year that's absolutely ridiculous. We will be so fine tonight jeez.

Illini 86
Gophers 61

I’m predicting 82-68 us.

I like to look at the line and play what if I were in Vegas. Would i take illinois on the money line? -1400. So i bet 1400 to win 100. I think i’d do it. It’s like an easy $100, unless…..
