I like your optimism ....but let's not get too carried away
Pregame: Illinois at Wisconsin, Saturday, March 2nd, 12:00pm CT, BTN

I might be in the minority, but Wiscy is my most hated B1G team since 2010. Terrible brand and style of basketball, Brad Davison, Bo Ryan, ex-girlfriend from Wisconsin etc.
Still remember Frank Kaminsky coming to Red Lion every weekend because even he had to admit UI was more fun than Wiscy.
Fun fact, Frank the Tank got suspended from his middle school in Lisle back in the day for climbing on top of the roof and taking a dump in front of everyone.
Hope we can do the same to the Kohl Center on Saturday!

Not disagreeing, just like to point out that UW is 325th in possessions per game (67.4), but who really knows what type of Illini show up on D
Since 2010 it's probably Iowa for me. In my lifetime it's definitely Indiana, but Iowa has been holding it's own now that the Lickliter years are behind them
Yea, they will. But they've been motivated the last eight games and still lost six of them.
There's no byline. I think you're right

Here I thought we only had 2 minutes of such events.

For any Illini fan who grew up in the 1980s (particularly one who grew up in the QCs), Iowa is the ONLY answer for this.
Bruce Pearl are the only two words needed for an explanation.

Would be our first Q1A win of the season.
You bet. Amen. That's actually three words but I'm bundling.

Eric Gordon and Indiana was a killer for Bruce at the time also. I always think this when thinking of teams i hate. That was total garbage.

Was at the EG game as a middle schooler. Was so hyped when CF chest bumped EG halfway back to his bench.
To this day the most intense, angry crowd environment I've ever been in. Wish we could get that energy back in the Hall/SFC at least for Purdue next week. I certainly don't condone fans throwing full buckets of popcorn and ice onto an opposing players' family like that day, but would be nice to have opponents actually afraid of coming to Champaign again.
I know this is a longshot, but are there any Illini bars in Fredericksburg, VA? Will be in that town this weekend.
If not, recommendations for a good all-around place to watch the game would be welcomed.

Right now, Wisconsin is our enemy. Next week they will be our ally. And that will be as it always has been.
Wisconsin is terrible road team (everybody in B10 besides Purdue is below .500 on road ). Unfortunately we are playing Badgers at their home so it will be real test this Saturday. If we want 3 or 4 NCAA seed we have to beat some good teams on the road.
Wisconsin losses are all on roard except Purdue
