Game Thread: Illinois vs Southern

[Juju]

Anyone know why the AP poll hasn't dropped yet? It's usually released at 1PM every Monday, but it's after 2 and it still hasn't been released. Not that it matters much, just kinda weird to me.

Loved this guy when he played for us! The fact that he's 2 years younger than me and is greying is starting to make me feel old, though...

It’s pathetic that tomi can’t dunk when catching a ball under the basket.

Oof Bos Ankle

Mihalo early?? Let’s go

Hope BAM is on that was a serious roll

 

[IlliniFan42]

Finally forced to use Petrovic

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Just sucks….

Oof Bos Ankle

Didn't look good...

 

[SummerofGeorge]

This is NOT what I meant when I said I hoped Petrovic would get tic today!

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Looks like Bam stepped on someone's foot. Hopefully not too serious but he went back into the locker room...

 

[LouHenson]

This is why the guy is on the team. You sort of knew this would happen at some point?

 

[Jon]

Wouldn't mind if Bos sat for the game though...

 

[Dawgss4life]

Finally. MP!!

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Iron man.

Didn't look good...

Boz back in thank goodness

The band sounded rough there…lmao what happened?

It appears to be a high school band? I’m sure they’ve practiced Oskee Wow Wow hundreds of times recently but yeah, it’s not great.

On the plus side, very respectable crowd for a Monday afternoon game with a drivable bowl game out of town tomorrow.

 

[Jon]

What a lineup. Petro, Bam, Jake, Hummer, Z

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Bring back Wagler…

Love when our former players show up like this!

Also, Kylan ... hoping for the best.

I don’t believe they are releasing one this week

 

[Jon]

Bring back Wagler…

Seemed to work out quickly

 

[LuckyIllini]

I like Petro but he’s not a big 10 guard

 

[WolfpackIllini]

I woulda thought Petrovic had better handles.
Maybe he just needs tic.

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Bam back in. Petrovic out after looking awful.

I’m surprised by how uncomfortable he looks dealing with the on ball pressure. Because it’s very uncomfortable
