I'm predicting a big game from Petrovic. Just a feeling.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
I want defensive and rebounding intensity from the tip to the final horn.

I want In order of preference:
1) Nobody gets hurt
2) A win
3) A HUGE win (by 30+)
4) 80% from the line
5) Out rebound UTRGV by 20+
6) shoot 38% from 3
There's no reason to believe this won't be a better version of Saturday. 121-74

That would be a missed field goal. There will be some of them in THIS game as well
Fundamental basketball from tip to gun.
I need Dre to play defense, rebound and not be a ball stopper. I need the defense to play a complete game none of this 19 first half 40 second half discrepancies. I need to see Tomi playing more like Tomi of last year.
I'd just like to see him a little more comfortable as our PG, setting up the other four, etc.
That would be a big game to me.
Keats and Kylan are above average PGs but much better as off guards, IMO.
Oh great. At least we do not have DJ Baldy assisting Larry.
Would I love to see 10 guys play....all determined that UTRGV will not score a single point in this game. A worthy goal, never achieved, but possible (not in the least probable). If that attitude can permeate this team, they can beat anyone...and maybe everyone.
Really sucks i need any reminders of our wiscy game on BTN.
Um ... DirecTV. Its on BTN.
I feel violated that BTN is airing a replay of the Illinois Wisconsin football game as the lead in for tonight's basketball game. I'd rather not watch this again, even in condensed form...
Illinois scoring margin by half thru 6 games:
1st half: +125
2nd half: +35
Let’s reverse that trend tonight with 2 complete halves. I’m willing to say some of the 2nd half mediocrity is conditioning and will resolve itself as more guys get more minutes. But also, bring it for 40 damn minutes…

A big portion of this is the result of our non-rotation guys getting some big(ger) minutes in the 2nd half of our blow-out wins.
This is so strange to me. I feel like we’ve been a second half team the past few years
