Who is calling this game on TV tonight? I haven't heard.

I don't know, but my old college roommate just texted me a picture of him and Bardo at the pregame at Hurricane's.

Apparently Google's AI needs a few more Nvidia chips to be able to spell "Illinois" right, but this is good enough for now.

Jonathan is a remarkably good speller...for a dog!

Let’s ride

Jarrett and Shows work a lot in the ACC and SEC. Shows worked the 2011 NCAA championship game. Jarrett also works in the Big 12. Oglesby worked the national championship game last season. Appears to be a high quality, veteran crew.

So...we don't like them?

Almost there...

Regular orange. Ok. Regular W.

They’re just want future teams wearing their jersey as a special throwback. They’ll look a whole lot better if we win 3 more games!

Same team as Thursday night. Harlan, Bonner, and SVG.

I’m much less nervous pre tip than I was against Iowa State.

I’m not sure what to make of that.

Go Illini.

I just want these Illini to play their game hard. No matter if shots falling or not, or regardless of how the game is called. Don't "play not to lose". That will win.

Same as last game

So how many of us are wearing exactly the same clothes and watching from the same chair as Thur. night...other than me of course. Not hanging my guys out to dry!!!!!

Go Illini.

I’m with you, I’m either delusional or we are going to win this thing.

 

[genxrex]

Think they are genuinely worried, lets fulfill our destiny!

 

[OskieWowWow]

Nothing to lose, let's put it all out there tonight.

Somebody in this tournament is going to rise up and give uconn all they can handle...why not us?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

F**k it, should we just go to the Final Four?



BTW, I’m at our neighborhood bar in Chicago - not affiliated with Illinois or the alumni association or anything - and there are Illini shirts everywhere.

 

[redwingillini11]

I mean, what if we win?

I-L-L!!!!!
