[Miles Leonard]

Well that’s not ideal

Hope KJ is ok, but this is where our depth is so huge. 30 minutes each for Boz and DGL. Sign me up.
Illini 90
PSU 68

i hate it here

 

[purcy51]

Am I the only one drawing parallels with 89 season when Gill broke his foot?

 

[DeeIL89]

With KJ out tonight, huge stepup for DGL. Hoping DGL continues his hot streak from the west coast road trip. We are still the better team. Got to take care of the basketball. Penn State is going to try to feed off of turning us over.

 

[ChiTown]

Yeah we need is play making more than anything.

 

[Tables@EddieMunster]

What could this left forearm injury be?

 

[BBlock24]

This changes things DRASTICALLY. Nobody knew anything about this until now?

Happened during warmups.

 

[Battle89]

Penn State curse continues

 

[FoundersClub]

Not that anyone would know this but the trainer (or doctor), but how does one hurt their forearm, to the point they can't play, in warmups? I have to believe something happened in practice and it was a GTD.

DGL with 32 tonight. KJ trying to figure out tomorrow why people at Ubben are calling him Wally Pipp.

I think we will overcome the loss of kj tonite. the bigger question is how long must we endure?

I think Boswell recovers with a nice defensive game and DGL steps up. Give PSU a taste of their own pesky D medicine. We shoot much better and still cover the spread. Go Illini!

This is the much bigger picture (obviously). It's it's just a game, figure out a way to win and move on. Forearm tightness isn't overly concerning because he's not a starting pitcher, but it would be nice to know that it's just muscle related.

Thankfully, we have USC this weekend.
