Some Illini gentleman in an orange blazer and orange fedora is quite the spirited fan.Lol damn that's crazy. How does that even start? I guess just because Illinois fans are like that

Seriously.
Virginia's 3pt shooting is 80% on the game :-o and 53% on the season as a team... Insane...

Fran Fraschilla just declared his love for Tyger Campbell saying he was his favorite of in the country. Iām sure we are going to a lot of UCLA love during our game.
Can't wait to hear Fraschilla tell us how much better Tyger is than Skyy. I remember watching Campbell early in his career and he was baaaaaaaaad. He struggled way more with his knee injury than Skyy has so far. Let's hope Skyy can have a little coming out party this weekend!
Really not liking Fraschilla already tonight. He's entering Matt Millen, Jake Butts territory......

Way to show out, Illini fans! The orange looks great on TV, and it is clearly not Virginia orange.

Really don't know what to expect as 20 yo kids have proven for decades to be as volatile in their dependability as anything. But this Illini team possesses the skill and athleticism to beat anyone....as they have for the past three seasons. Add in the experience of Shannon and Mayer and the pieces are there. A lot of answers coming in the next 3 hours and we prepare for any performance. The bell curve is mountainous but it is to the right of most others. Hoping to see the mean performance a bit higher than UCLA's tonight, but for sure there will be moments at the left end.
ILL chant comin from the crowd
I just tuned in. His voice reminds me of Abe Weissman, Midge Maiselās dad.Really not liking Fraschilla already tonight. He's entering Matt Millen, Jake Butts territory......

Well there you go. That is statistically unlikely to continue through the season
Watching the first game and seeing a bunch of Illini orange. That is great to see. ILL INI

Does anyone know the capacity for the game? Looks like they had the upper levels covered. Sad to see so many open seats for this event with four highly ranked teams (shows the lack of demand for basketball within the Baylor and UCLA programs). At least there is a lot of Illini orange in the stands!
And happy to see Virginia getting a win after the terrible week they have had.
