Control what you can control. Talent won't always be available (stating the obvious this year). You can always bring the intensity.
TBH, I'm worried this will be a trap game. NW isn't bad. They aren't great, but they have a lot of fight and it's at their home. Hope I'm wrong, but they have a few near wins and their whole record could look much different.

I dunno about trap. Trap indicates Illinois won't come out with intensity. And with all the injury/illness they're fighting through and going on the road against an in-state rival, I can't imagine we come out with less intensity. Does that mean we make our shots? Not necessarily. But they are gonna fight.
It's my birthday today. The best present I can think of would be an Illini victory, preferably led by our Jamaican big man. Go Illini

I think the NW screamer has complied with requests to refrain from screaming for the past couple seasons.

Any word if Kofi or Curbelo are participating in shoot around? I would think that would indicate whether or not they play.
I believe she graduated. I saw a news piece on her and she said she was a senior. That was a few years ago. Also, she looked like a total asshat.

We can hope that, if indeed she's now a venerable NW grad, she has remained in Chicagoland and both a Kittens' hoop devotee as well as screamer. While no longer a courtside menace with the students, the lot of them as endearing as a flock of pigeons or Canadian geese, perhaps she'll be ensconced in the rafters this afternoon, where a passel of our orange-clad brethren can, er, introduce incentives for her to curb her exhibitionism.
I see Larry and Bo at the Michigan and Michigan St game. Feeling better about our game already.

Staring at that upper lefthand picture like...
And yeah, no sign of Kofi or Belo.
Vegas thinks Kofi isn’t playing at a -4 line

Classic trap game sandwiched in between the two “battle for first” games. Vegas and KenPom both have it around a 4 point game. I think it will be a battle
The kitties struggle to guard the three and rebound. I am thinking Plummer could go off
