Realistically curbelo could've tested positive anytime between the MD and MSU game right? BU did mention he didn't practice Sunday, although he said it was the flu.

I would assume the only way he could even be scheduled to practice would be if he had passed the 5 day threshold.
Ten day theshold because he showed symptoms

This is a mini rant I suppose, but when the other 10 guys had covid, everyone knew it, called it by name, the names were all out there even if not by Underwood. Now with Curbelo, no one wants to say it due to privacy. Kofi is out for concussion protocol. With Curbelo we weren’t supposed to talk about, even though some knew, due to privacy. Who makes up these rules as we go?! **End rant**

I feel so much better!!! 😁

Must win game with or without Kofi and Andre.

I would think at least one if not both will be back.

Whats up with Hutchinson. its been 2 months since he bruised his tailbone.

Rub some dirt on it and get back on the court!

Easier to tiptoe through the legal maze of privacy laws when talking generically about a subset group of a larger group. HIPAA generally restricts uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information, but not health information that does not allow an individual to be identified.

The bruised tail bone turned out to be a hernia. His schedule for excessive walking is a ways off yet I would suppose

I no longer look down on NU anymore. They pull together some good teams under Collins. They may not have all the success yet, but they definitely fight. Saw the UMich game and they clawed back from a double digit deficit.

I think the key folks that they'll need to lock down on are:
1) Audige - their version of Keegan Murray. Athletic, strong. I think DWilliams will take him on.
2) Boo - can be on and deadly, but you never know who shows up. I think Trent will be on him.
3) Nance - mobile and tall. It'll be interesting to see how we guard him. Grandison/Hawkins/BBV?
4) Young - I watched him against UMich and Mich State. He was the reason they won against Mich State and if he sunk a couple of the bunnies he had against UMich, they would've won. I think Kofi needs to lock him down. I didn't think he was very strong because he got bumped around a few times, but Kofi just needs to stay out of foul trouble and keep in front of him with arms up.
5) Beran could be an x-factor to get the crowd going.

I know we should win, with or without Kofi and/or curbello, but something just doesn't sit right with this team. They worry me as a potential bad loss opportunity if we let it happen.

Unless he had his hernia surgery in Iowa, I doubt they rub some dirt on it afterwards.

Here's the latest CDC guidance:

Ending isolation if you had symptoms:
End isolation after 5 full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.

It reads to me someone only has to wait 5 days after first positive as long as the other conditions are met.
Supposed to be with a mask tho

What I want is a complete beat down from start to finish. I don’t want to see us go scoreless for 10 minutes in the second half and when by 1. I don’t want that hectic crazy finish going into overtime or even second overtime

I don’t want us to be down 20 points at then end of the first half only to comeback and decimate NW in the second. ( I will admit I enjoyed watching that second half and went back to my dvr and watched the second half again just for pure enjoyment).

Is wrong to ask for this to be that game where our started are not busting their butts off in the last 5 minutes and can enjoy watching from the bench and resting as RJ and Podz rain 3s and dunks and even Lieb gets in the action with a hard pick or two which knocks a little wildcat off their feet.

Again is this wrong to ask?

Wrong to ask? No we all want this. We all want to ask this.

But I wouldn’t expect it. NW hasn’t been laying down for people. Beat MSU. Played Michigan hard (who’s looked like a different team since playing us btw). Played… Purdue I guess ignore that one

puff , puff , pass...................just messin with ya............................Audige has skills for sure , but he's not Keegan Murray skilled ....and I know you said their version..

the mildcats have skilled players and yes, they have been in a lot of games close but no cigar......wonder why that is .....???

Audige and Buie seem to have low BB IQ as they take shots randomly and ill-timed ......Young is a turnover waiting to happen and can't hit a crucial FT to save his life.....In fact , their whole squad seems to miss a lot of FT's.....and they shoot a lot of them ......I'm still too lazy to look up any stats but it seems like BTN last night was giving reasons why they keep losing so many close games......

I feel confident about this game no matter if Kofo or Belo are playing .....I learned my lesson on taking my Illini lightly and will never do it again......The pride the Illini have in the program and the fight they show on the court is so special to me ......with that being said I think....................


Illini 78
mildcats 65

Illini looking to go 8-2 in the B1G..................................GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
