And a 175 bpm pulse. Don't need Bigfoot.

Anyone know if there is a bar around Gainbridge that Illini fans will be gathering before the game on Thursday?

We could get 4 quad 1 wins in 4 days. Which would probably be beating all three top seeds.

I realize he wasn't great, but Goode wore 10.

I've always thought 10 and 13 were very underutilized numbers. Of course, my family has a tradition of wearing 13 in our various sports. My brothers wore 13 in basketball. My youngest brother wore 13 in baseball, now my son wears 13 in soccer and wore it in basketball when he played.

Dating myself, but I believe Tony Wysinger wore #10. I think he only had his senior year with the three point shot. Pretty solid player for the Beloved back in the mid-80s.

IMO, if we win Thursday, I think we lock down the 6 seed and so that's enough for me. I really don't think we matchup well against Maryland & don't see any way in which we beat them.

Don't forget that last time we played Maryland, we didn't have Tomi, Morez didn't have one of his better games, and Will Riley didn't score at all. It will be a very different game this time around...

Yes, 100% this. I rewatched the MD game today and Will physically has progressed so much since then and is now much more assertive with the ball. Tre and Bam are playing much better. Tomi would’ve completely changed the trajectory of the game. Morez had foul trouble…a lot of Ben, Jake, and Carey being thrown in against their bigs and we hung close for about 30 mins. I like our chances in a rematch.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good place to eat and drink before game at Gainbridge Field House?

I was looking at Agave and Rye....

(
**Wednesday
Ohio State beats Iowa...inches into the top 30 NET and our regular season home win against them becomes a Quad 1, again. (Currently Quad 2)

**Thursday
Illinois beats up on Ohio State on a neutral site.
That win is a Quad 1 BUT Ohio State could fall a spot or two and be back outside the top 30...

It's all hypothetical obviously but I find it amusing that we could realistically lose Thursday and still add a Quad 1 victory to our overall resume. Or as discussed above we luck into 2 Quad 1s by factor of Ohio State gaining and then us winning (likely narrowly defeating OSU to keep their NET from tanking.

Ohio State is like 36 in the NET at the moment btw if I didn't mention that so it's unlikely they'll jump back under without alot of help from other teams slipping as well
