Hopefully the team celebration of TSJs return happens tonight and not last night.

This is my concern. I have no clue what to expect. People seem to think we're inserting Jordan into the lineup. The hallmark of this team over the last 6 games is that the ball never stuck and everyone was getting shots. Will that change? Goode was getting a ton of shots, Hawkins was confident, they weren't forced to take a 28 foot shot as the shot clocked trickled away. TJ is a ball dominant guy. He wants to be THE guy. The upside on this team went way, way up, but it's not out of the question that we're stuck in mud here for a bit.

I feel bad for Rutgers

Not me. I live about ten miles from New Jersey.

And 11 points? That’s a lot. Too much. Be ready, Illini.

No TSJ in the intro video for those wondering

Anyone who is there, were there any protests outside the State Farm Center? I would guess no, but just twondering,

The attitude about this game here is concerning. Just because he's playing does not automatically put this into the win column. This team cannot get caught up in all of the noise. Last Sunday, we took our worst loss of the season because of a complete lack of focus. We have absolutely no clue what to expect today.

Let's get the W, then worry about the rest.

Good news!

Nobody on this board is playing.
