WF looked way better than NU did and they played 2 hours apart yesterday. Meaningless rankings still at this point in the season.
NW lost to Creighton, TTU, GT, not Liberty, Drake, and other potatoes

I'll be there! This may be a dumb question-but will they be selling beer at the game itself?
Need to play faster.
Don't let NW set up a zone, don't let them catch their breath. Illinois is deeper than NW. Get the starters tired, get them in foul trouble and the win will be easy.

You and me would probably get along really well :thumb:
This will be a home like game, and expect them to zone us. We did well when WF manned us, then they went to zone, we stopped moving , shooting, and not enough driving. My guess is that BU works on spread so much ,we don't spend time on zone. IMO us working perimeter take good shot , score a few times, would force them to play us outside, opening the middle. Still think we have not played a real full good game yet.
Better have more than 6.
Ill be in section 116 with 5 other people. I got an email form the IFUND that the Illini pregame will be at Bub City in Rosemont.
It is likely be another learning process. NU is not a particularly good team but they are miles better than Wake
I’m on call Friday night, and work Saturday morning...or it would definitely be a 12er instead of a 6er

Against wake we added a couple new spread looks. One of the “looping sets” and a switch between the guard and pinch post before initiation of the two man game.
Really hope for nw we have a couple more zone sets ready. We run a couple pick and roll sets but I think nw will be ready for those when they go zone. If I’m any team playing us right now I’m going into the game planning to play about 75% zone.
Interesting. Going forward ,how does this affect game prep?
Example: In football, we often hear about a team not knowing which QB to prepare to defend against, the passing QB or the running QB. Better versions of George Jr. v Cam Thomas so to speak.
Knowing teams will probably play more zone, I'm thinking Underwood will, or should, work more on a zone offense in practice ,thus taking away from implementing HIS offense .
Does this make sense? Might it be a problem?
They didn't look it against GT yesterday.
I know we all hate nw but they probably win their gt game at home too.
Well then let's take over the AllState Arena and make it our home :thumb:
Will State Farm allow this?
