Pregame: Illinois at Michigan, Saturday, January 6th, 11:00am CT, BTN

We certainly haven't been able to put things together like I thought we would. I honestly thought our play at Mizzo would be much more typical than what we've seen so far. So many guys just missing shots. Thought that would be a strong suite.

I'm sure we'll play tough, but unless we find shooters we have no real chance. Michigan by 8.

Neither is ranked in top 25 or even honorable mention. So, they're probably pretty even. Minny has all their players back, and that's why I think they're better. jmo

Minny has internal D that causes us fits. So while Scum may be as good as Minny they are not as bad a matchup for us.

At least Dakich isn't there so we got that going for us now!

I sat and listened to this in a drunken stupor, then just let it go Zen style...Brad is tired, but still brilliant, he GETS who is doing what right and wrong all the time...most of the time, I myself am tired as a mofo, I love this team and I actually think if BU hits the right two buttons at the exact right moment, we are NCAA champs. Shiat, I need to dunk my head in a deep well. Still feel BU has a vibrational saviour thing about him.

hope we aren't sleepwalking in this early game...cant afford another 1-20 shooting start road game...

growing pains with an inexperienced guard oriented team...
curious where we will be in a couple seasons

Close game, I say the ILLINI with the freshman coming out together party stealing the show!

My line: Illini 83-Fichigan 78

Starters

Frazier-17, 4Reb-7 Asst
Alstork-9, 5 Reb-3 Steals
Williams-13, 5 Reb-5 Assts-3 Steals
Black-18, 10 and NO assts..
Finke-12, 7 Reb and 4 assts

Williams and Alstork will check Matthews and the rest will do the rest!

Bench accounts for 14 points with this lineup with Jordan getting 6 and Smith/Lucas/Kipper getting the other 8 or so...

Okay I will finish my coffee and wakeup more now!!!
