Good. Maybe it'll fire him up.

I'm thinking that shot was a bit longer than 25 feet. But never mind; Indiana's big mistake--and it was a huge one--was not guarding Bardo when he threw the ball in from the baseline.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am

Illinois continues tough stretch in conference play at Indiana
Illinois is getting all of its pieces back just in time for its toughest stretch in conference play.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Days after cementing its spot at the top of the Big Ten, Illinois has a road test to continue its toughest stretch in conference play.
For that stretch run, the Illini look to have everyone available and are starting to finally settle into an identity with Andre Curbelo and Kofi Cockburn back and fully healthy. Curbelo appeared back against Purdue before being sidelined in health and safety protocols, but the dynamic point guard is ready to be back for good after coming off the bench in a Tuesday win over Wisconsin.
“It was what it needed to be,” Illinois coach Brad Underwood said of Curbelo’s 11-minute return. “You know, he was great. ... He’s seeing the game. We ran the tar out of him yesterday. His conditioning is getting back. He was tired.” The Illini had possibly their most complete performance Tuesday, keeping Wisconsin at arm’s length for the entire second half and having an efficient night offensively. The defense has improved for the Illini — they’ve kept each of their past three opponents under 70 points.

Got my pre-game ball in. 1.5 hours of my own, old man ball. I look forward to be amazed at youthful athletes doing so much better than me.
I agree. I'd also hate to have Purdue talk about the 2-0 record if we win either the BTT or regular season title.

This is going to be a very interesting game. Indiana has been exceptional at home and we've been suspect, to be kind, on the road. Games at Nebraska, Northwestern and Maryland (no Kofi) are concerning. This is a good Indiana team. I think people (nationally) are fooled because Indiana doesn't have a number in front of their name. The odds makers aren't fooled. It's basically a pick 'em.
Frazier and Plummer HAVE to break this string of average to below average performances. They both have to have a significant impact.
Until I see this team put a complete 40(I'll take 35) minutes together on the road and avoid the elongated droughts....it's hard to pick us.
This could just be the waiting for the other shoe to drop fear as we, as Illini fans, have been mired in(though I'm coming around to having a more confident train of thought). I see:
Indiana. 75
Illinois. 65
It'll be a close game until we go on the 7-9 minute scoring drought, combined with suspect free throw shooting that will give IU a margin to play with at the end. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG GUYS!!!?

Maybe we follow the Mich ‘89 model that they used on us. (Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that)

When he was recruited, it was late in the cycle. The info on him that I recall was that he was an all-court player and never mentioned as a 5 type. Described as smart, strong, athletic, and could shoot. Likely, he still can if he were to work on his perimeter shot or mid-range game. But, that is not needed at all on this team. BBV deserves some love for not only his willingness but his understanding of how he can help his team win. In the meantime, he has gone from an pretty much unknown roster filler to an Illini hoops hero how we can all admire....and becoming a true B1G warrior who simply knows what to do and when to do it.. and does! Guys like BBV, Omar, Goode, RJ, and Podz are what make teams really good. In the kind of program BU is trying to build from 4 years players, the guys who check in with the scorer must be efficient and aggressive....and we have not seen an Illini bench so deep and talented in decades....maybe never.

I'll have no problem with that if we beat them in the BTT. I still enjoy recalling how we s&^tcanned Michigan twice in '89 during the reg season, including by 16 pts on Senior Day in Ann Arbor, but it is, of course, of little consolation.
