I will take some videos from my seat, but got to learn how to put it in Loyalty. I am in 205 up. My granddaughter will be with me. She is in 4th grade and made the cheerleading team for elementary basketball team. I wonder will Illini cheer be at the game. I would like to get a couple pic with her and the cheerleaders. Just wondering. Go Illini.

You should go early and take her to Newport Aquarium right across the river before the game. Worth the visit

Sounds like a blast enjoy your grand daughter and let youtube provide the videos. Some local guy will video the entire game for all to see. Have fun!

I am going with 85 - 72 good guys. Big Z with 6 blocks. Davis 5 3s and Dre scores 25.

Coleman with 8 boards and scores 12 pts but fouls out 3 times. Vaks is slow and horrible and sends loyalty into full panic mode.

One of the young guys will look great and for the rest of the season we will hear "Why isn't he playing more?".

Who will that be? I'll guess Ethan Brown.

The only overreaction is going to come out if someone gets hurt. We know what Drej, Z, Tomi, Mirk(not playing) and Davis (not playing) can and will do.

Implementing Coleman and Vaaks would be the priority and with multiple exhibition games, that shouldn't be extended more than 10 minutes in any of these games.

The rest, to me, would be working the freshmen in to see what the back end of the roster will look like in a live setting.

We're one of the very few teams that has a huge portion of the roster coming back. Anything outside of a quick run is needless. If anyone in the main rotation even stubs a toe, the pessimism will come from the fact with our group, the cost WAY outweighs the benefit and I'd feel physically ill.

Or Vaaks goes for 9-12 from 3 for 27 points and we are convinced we have the next Luka. Everybody starts buying FF tickets Detroit.

You aren't fooling anyone

Mirk and Jake being out should open up some chances for new-comers.
Kenpom preseason has Illini #4 and Cinci #31, but I assume that's with a full healthy roster.
They've already got a game under their belt too. Should be excellent competition.

So you are saying that with two of our best players out, and Cincinnati already having a game under their belts, they may have a chance?
I like the way you think!

I second this. I was really impressed when I took my kids a few years back.

Whose pic is this? And when did college hoops permit numerals higher than five on uniforms?
