Since 2020 we're 2-11 at these pre-noon CT times. Wanna know one of those wins? At Michigan State.
Pregame: Illinois at Michigan State, Sunday, January 19th, 11:00am CT, CBS

7pm in Lithuania.
we're pretty good when the pessimists come out in the pregame threads to predict losses with prediction scores. Wishing to be served the same crow for this one.
MSU has great effort and hustle. We have to match that and make the beginning g of the second half look a lot different to keep the crowd out of it.
if my memory serves me right, i'm fairly sure TSJ's first game back vs Rutgers last year was 11am.
And Domask's masterpiece win at Wisconsin?

Get Tomi early touches in the paint and just beat the 
out of them on the boards.
Other than that, no notes.

MSU is athletic, scrappy, and deep. Vs NW they played 10 different players between 14 and 27 minutes.
So far in the Big 10:
At Minnesota (90-72)
Nebraska (89-52)
At Ohio State (69-62)
Washington (88-54)
At Northwestern (78-68)
NW wasn’t all that close. They were up 45-22 in that one. This is probably going to be the toughest game of the season outside of Duke. I think MSU will be favored by 4.5 points or so

Part 2 of the USC redemption tour. Win this one and all is forgiven.
We win this one and the two next week. Top 10 when polls come out 1/27.

11 AM starts on Sunday's suck.
The B1G record of MSU's five opponents is a combined 6-22.
What’s the over under on Izzo whining to the officials? I’m going with 12.5
12.5 minutes? Hours? Tears?
I'll take the over on all the above.
true, but they vastly outperformed us when comparing our two common opponents. who knows. god, would love a win there sunday (as would we all)
Outside of KU (which that team is questionable IMO and a loss for MSU) they haven’t played a top 30 team.
We’re more proven, and frankly more talented. Neither of those points wins you games, but it makes me feel like this is more than winnable. I’d assume the spread is close to +3 Illinois.

Illinois has 8 guys that all average over 14 minutes a game. All 8 of them have had at least one 20 point scoring night. I'd say we're pretty deep too.
Need Tre White to get back to playing and finishing well. He's been way off the last two games. Need him to play well to win at MSU.
Illini by 11
I was frustrated with the USC game (still am kind of) but the Indiana game, specifically KJ coming back, helps put some perspective on it.
Now just keep building, keep getting better. Nothing beats a quiet Breslin Center.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Why is why scoring margins manner. They handled Washington and Northwestern quite a bit easier than Illinois did
We do this.
