Haven't had these many butterflies since the 2016 World Series Game 7.

Like the first day of first grade butterflies.

That makes Hurley almost likeable.

It was uncomfortable to type that.

there must be some video editing involved

Tuning in from an American pub in London (because they’ll stay open later for the games). Walked in and there were already people in Illini shirts. This is a good sign.

Loads of orange here!

 

[fantasydaily708]

Win or lose its been a hell of a season I just want to see them play well and leave it all on the floor. NO REGRETS

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Anyone able to tell crowd %?

 

[Chad Fleck]

All I want for my 41st birthday is for the Illini to pull to 1-1 historically on April 4th.

 

[FloridaMan]

Youtube crapping on me here.....WTF

 

[KC-ILL]

Dang… chills…..

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Sound like they're reducing crowd noise a bit on TV.

Let's punch them in their stupid faces!!!!

 

[DICKnaggie]

Anyone able to tell crowd %?

My buddy there said about 50% Illinois, 25 Michigan, the rest about equal.

 

[Jack's Raging Bile Duct]

I’m crying and on the verge of puking really hope the boys are handling this better than I… It all comes down to rebounding and making shots. Match our season averages in both, I love our chances

 

[MoCoMdIllini]

Anyone able to tell crowd %?

It looks like about 80% Illini. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but the picture I saw was that any part of the stadium not specifically assigned to a school was orange.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Lets freaking go! Great Start!

 

[pweo]

Sounds like a home game on tv
