Gray/silver alternates for the #Illini today vs. Nebraska.

Michael Finke (concussion) is not out on the court during warmups. Not entirely surprising given he didn't dress for practice yesterday. Da'Monte WIlliams (hyperextended left knee) is dressed and going through warmups. #Illini

Krush about half full

 

[TCTORNADO]

9th different starting lineup this year.

What a depressing season. I will watch for signs of life. Feels a bit like a SETI watch though. Any toughness and pride will be a welcome site, even if we can't execute well enough to win. These guys need to keep fighting.

This opinion is unpopular, but I love these uniforms.

I was just going to post "can we get rid of these grays?" haha. What do you like about them?

 

[Sizzler22]

Wish they would go back to the 04-05 uniforms, those were awesoms

 

[Sizzler22]

Greg shouldn't even be in, kipper and black need to be in at the same time

I don't really know...I just like that they are different I guess. I like the alternate uniforms worn during NBA all star weekend...and it's a combo (gray and orange) you just don't see anywhere else.

I get it if others prefer uniform that remind them of when we were better....we've been pretty disappointing as long as we've had this design.

 

[yeahyeahyeah]

Alstork turnover that leads to breakout and 1.... does he lead the league in these?

 

[aluma]

It would be nice if someone else would help Black out.

 

[chief78]

Leron feelin' it!

 

[Illiniguy13]

Leron is so good

Wish we could go bavck to the players in those 04-05 uniforms.

Well since that can't happen we can at least take the uniforms, also would like to see an actual Mascot.

Underwood has said it numerous times this year, even though he doesn't prefer it, due to a lack of ability to execute, he has to ride the hot hand, mostly been Trent and Leron, Kipper against MSU.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Leron been playin real nice for a few games now. He gonna have a great season next year. He will be even more challenging for opposing bigs to hold. Other dudes need to grow up next season and I feel we could take a nice upward jump.

 

[Coachbubbles]

Help side defense sucks today! Can’t overplay or put that much ball pressure on without some help!!
