My apologies if this has already been posted on the board somewhere. It’s not like the players don’t know they played poorly at Rutgers — and they are putting in the work to turn things around. Hats off to staff too.

lol MSU game day: Izzo-loathing; poetry and song; Hoffa analogy.
I love Loyalty. I love lamp.
Hawkins coming out party today. 14 pts, 8 rebounds, 6 assists. Throw in 2 or 3 blocks as well. He plays so well today, BU can't afford to have him on the bench in the 2nd half. The offense as a whole still looks a little off, but we do all the little things and find enough ways to manufacture points.
UI - 68
MSU - 63

I'll have what you're having, sir. Dark orange, straight up.
Yet through all that he still has a job. Can't fire a legend no matter how muddy the waters get.
Hmmmm. Has anyone seen those two in the same room at the same time?I know, this is gonna be so good.
Here’s a random thought. Does anyone
else think Izzo looks like Hoffa?
(Apologies if this question was posed on the forum at some point in the past.)

Don't be surprised if one if them is immediately inserted at tip-off
He only complained about the Weber firing because he owned Weber and he was concerned they would hire a coach that would make his job harder (which they did not)

I don't believe Izzo ever visited the old Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands.
Until BU came.
Interesting note, we are 61-64 against MSU but we have a .8 points advantage. Lets add to that and make it 62-64.
I don't think BU waits for that. I expect at least two if not three starting line up changesm most likely two.

God I love this team so much (the coaching staff and all the players)
GO ILLINI! Beat Sparty!
Predictions:
- We get off to a great start and lead by as much as 12 in the first half.
- Much of this start is centered around Grandison, who is 3/4 from three in the first half.
- In true 2022 fashion we have a second-half lapse and MSU cuts it to 2.
- DMW makes a few key stops down the stretch, Trent gets to the rim in crunch time.
Illini win 71-66
