We are well into the morning, in my opinion. Yet the game is more than 12 hours away. 
I guess we've waited 19 years, so its okay.

Unsure why, but I have a feeling this game won’t be close.
If we lose, their defense will have flustered us, their offense will still score, and we’ll lose by 15+.
If we win, we will have figured out their defense midway through the first half and we’ll have knocked down shots. They won’t have an answer.
Here’s to the latter. Illini by 16. Harman 4/6 from three.

I posted this for this gif during the Duquense game. Their vaunted top 30 defense against Illinois reminded me a lot of Michael Scott guarding Roy Anderson. Let's hope for a repeat tonight.

Gotta avoid this. Robert Jones and Lipsey double team the Wazzu gaurd and he panics, travels. Jones drifts out a lot for these types of double teams. Really jams up passing lanes and Lipsey will rake the ball. Guys need keep clam and keep their head on a swivel.

What a beautiful morning here in good ole Paducah.......already got my Illini gear on , had my Ginger Honey tea took my meds and gave NL # 3 a big smooch and a slap on her rear end...........we are keeping it low key today until approaching the first game on the schedule tonight......that is when we will ratchet up the intensity and prepare for a big Illini win tonight.......
NL # 3 will have on her Illini cheerleader outfit and I will be in my Illini jersey top with my Illini shorts on.......we plan on a light menu for this morning and will have ribeye's and broccoli for our game meal around 5-6 pm.........meds will flow all day long and finally tune into the Illini radio pregame show @ 8pm............
Here's hoping for a beautiful ending to the day with an Illini victory moving forward to a Saturday game and another victory on the way to the Final Four...........

I’m ready to run through a brick wall
I sort of agree this won't be close. I'm getting Louisville 2005 vibes.

It feels like I'm back in college and I've been cramming for a test all week, which is fitting considering I was at U of I the last time we made the Sweet Sixteen. At this point, I can't read or listen to anything else about this game. My brain is full. I know the matchup frontward and backward. I've gamed it out a million times in my head. Tip-off can't come soon enough...
79-68 Illinois
I work second shift and wouldn't you know it, a family emergency just came up. Both tragic and unavoidable. Wish I could make it, boss (to quote Pru), I really do.
And guys need to run to the ball to help.
