Someone said the line has moved 1.5 pts since Illinois posted that picture of Ayo lol.
I mean there is a reason your team did not want to play Illinois their first game back and took some extra time. It was not out of “an abundance of caution,” because your women’s team played that same night...Am I missing something or do you Illini fans really not see your team's huge, glaring weaknesses. UM's big guy can shoot free throws, yours can be Hack-a-Shaq'ed all night. Also like MSU revealed, once Cockburn has the ball you can send 5 players in on him. He simply will not, can not, won't ever look to pass once he gets the ball.
I'm sorry but the Illini are rubbing two sticks together while UM has a zippo.
Breaking: fans of team believe in said team.
Believe the mens wrastling team also wrastled the same day.I mean there is a reason your team did not want to play Illinois their first game back and took some extra time. It was not out of “an abundance of caution,” because your women’s team played that same night...

What I want to see. No expectations but would like to see the Illini step up and hold their turns to 10 or less from here on out. It may be just me, but the culture of accepting wins with a dozen or more turnovers as standard is unacceptable. It simply says at Illinois we accept players who never learned to play smart and make sloppy passes and a couple every game without even knowing if there is a player in the vicinity. And Curbelo called for travelling in every game and called an elite PG does him a huge discredit. He needs to learn how to stop or go without doing a rain dance first. Other than that, they will play hard and unselfishly as is their norm. Also, I am reasonably confident they will defend with smart and consistent effort.
It would be nice also to see the FF% in both games over 75%.
So, bottom line, relax you mind, improve and take accountability for weaknesses. Win or not, I will be happy. But a win is likely if those two things are done as this team seems to always play hard and together.

Right?? I guess it's a consequence of it being in WV.Is the Baylor game really at 4 o’clock? Is today a holiday I missed?
It really comes down to the fact they are executing at a really high level consistently - they are just playing unbelievably well. It's not like the talent overwhelms you with super athletic players you can't match up with like a Baylor - on paper we should be the better team and if you do the player to player comparison I like our chances, but basketball being a team sport, they execute much more consistently than we do and minimize mistakesI know Michigan is better this year, but I really can't quite put my finger on why. Dickenson is an obvious upgrade over Teske. Is the transfer PG that much better than the little guy from last year (his name escapes me)?
Lol. I love scUM fans. This is why their football team will never live up to expectations.Am I missing something or do you Illini fans really not see your team's huge, glaring weaknesses.

Hearing anything on Ayo's status?Lol. I love scUM fans. This is why their football team will never live up to expectations.

if he is healthy and ready, he should play. Ayo is a warrior, he's on a mission right now.As much as I'd like to see us at full strength, I hope Ayo is out and sits until the BTT to get him as close to 100% as possible for the NCAAs - assuming we have a 2 seed locked up.
But, I'm not a doctor, I only play one on the board.
For me, it depends on what you mean by 100%. If there is a decent chance that he can reinjure it or make it worse, then I agree. But if it isn't 100% healed, but it isn't anymore dangerous, then I say play (if he can).As much as I'd like to see us at full strength, I hope Ayo is out and sits until the BTT to get him as close to 100% as possible for the NCAAs - assuming we have a 2 seed locked up.
