It would be nice if Nunn and Hill only have to play 20-25 min in this one. Especially since Iowa plays a fast paced game and Purdue will beat us up physically if we get that far. And maybe Finke makes a couple 3's to get his confidence back.
The 3 suspended minny players won't be playing in the tourney, is that correct? Thought I saw that somewhere else but I can't recall.
Man, it's dead over here.. I wonder why
Rutgers and Minny were really bad and we got them each twice. This allowed us to finish 12th rather than 13th.:thumb:

Does Lovie Smith have any eligibility left to play center for Illini in BTT?
The football excitement has me taking Illinois at -9
Just win, baby. Really hope the team comes out and plays with fire.... they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
JCL sets the record...
He'd have to have a monster game to do that wouldn't he? Isn't he something like 6 or 7 back?

6 to tie and 7 to break. JCL's averaging 2.8 threes per game in B1G play.
If JCL were to get 7 3's in a game, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened against this depleted squad. After the last game, I'm expecting him to have a big night. Hopefully it's a record setting night for him.
Today is a must win for me. Can't go into another off season thinking a team didn't care. And a win against Iowa would at least send me into the offseason with a smile. This is all I ask for right now.
JCL may not have to get them all today. Just get a few more and get the win. Then get the rest in the next game. If we are lucky and win again maybe even get a few more.
Corey's record already has an asterisk. He was a redshirt freshman. I suppose that means that JCL already has the un-asterisked record for a true freshman (somebody check me for DJR - I'm at work).True. But if JCL does it in 33 games (or more) it will have to go down as an * as the record was previously set in 32 games.
