Tonight will tell us a lot about the 2025-2026 Illini, folks. Playing an underperforming, talented team at home sandwiched between a huge win and a big one Sunday. I fear we may be in for a close one.

Growing up(8ish), I broke my right wrist trying to catch my fall in a game. Getting injured wasn't good, but my dad had me dribbling in the garage left handed, going threw cones, all layups were left handled, etc. I'm sure quite a few on this board have a similar story. It made me a lot better and it ended up being 8 weeks well spent.

Now, obviously Kylan is on a different planet when compared to most of us, but he can still benefit to some extent. If he can finish with the left, even a little bit better, he made lemonade out of lemons.

Good perspective, and I think he'll be fine. Brad said he broke a finger. The timeline and lack of wrist splint make sense in that context.

Time for a little obedience training. School is just about in session. Go Illini!

Call me nervous but UW can become a Maryland for us if not prepared.

Would love to see our crowd give us a lift tonight -- later start, hope they got a little fuel in them -- be pumped after the huge Purdue win and push the team through as what you said is a bit of a home spot we've struggled in

Put me in a corner!

 

[Illini4Christ]

How does that brown haired guy that was playing the air guitar behind the two announcers always get the same seat every game?

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Looks like the strategy is to face guard! Open shooters gonna have to make shots!

 

[FloridaMan]

Need our energy guy off the bench early tonight. This is ugly so far.
