So now that the street parking in the surrounding area gets blocked off, where's the best place to park?

This is why it's not a rivalry game.
I will absolutely die on this hill.
Everyone knows, given Tyler's close position on the bench, that he is actually "carrying" his dad on the coaching bench./s
Fletch posted a recovery workout with him on his story yesterday
It is very beautiful especially when I look at the scoreboard and Illini win
If the Illini go into the game at Northwestern thinking we kicked their butts by 30 in Paign this is going to be easy they will get their heads handed to them. Must show up and take care of business early. If we let N.W. hang around at the end Buie or Berry will beat us.
I was referring more towards to the @illinimbb accounts on twitter & Instagram etc.
I've actually been wondering this, too. He's in highlight videos on YouTube, but otherwise, they continue to avoid plastering him on social media, etc.
They do tend to put others besides the star players on the other marketing materials. But this seems like they are really trying to avoid.
There is some street parking in Evanston which is south of Isabella. Just be careful if you park north of Isabella which is Wilmette and read the parking signs.

It's the smart move, in my opinion. There are a lot of people who would be (are) still put off by the TSJ situation and there's no need to draw more attention to it when the goal is to make it go away. Until this is over, TSJ and the team should let his publicity come via the stat sheet, not marketing campaigns.

agree
TSJ will still be shown lots of love from the fandom , but I highly doubt we host a “TSJ bobble head” giveaway night in late Feb
the charges are still active and things changed on 12/27. We all know that .
Northwestern is a good team. They may not be great but will be ready. I see this going into the last few possessions.

I'd like to see Terrance on Buie as much as possible, but how does that work with this switch everything defense? Just have Terrance work like crazy to not get screened?
Its the only decision you can make. Even if you believe he's 100% innocent. You don't risk marketing a guy that is charged with rape.
Depends….we have played more drop coverage with Coleman. I think we will play Drop when Nicholson is in the game and switch when he’s on Hunger or Preston. If we switch everything like we should it’ll be alright and be tough on Buie.
I think we take these next 4 games and will be a top 5 ranked team when the Feb 5th polls come out. We have the highest ceiling of any team in the country right now. We will look back at the games played without shannon as a blessing in disguise (strictly ball standpoint) as it allowed our other guys to gain confidence/chemistry.

Yes. We've had him for games this year.
He also was outstanding during the rise of John Paddock....he called the back to back Minny and Indiana games.
Was going to say the same thing. Agree 100%!
I have been to all the Northwestern B1G games. The students pack both ends of the court and have all kinds of materials to distract the free-throw shooter. The students really get into the game and unless you take them out of the game they give Northwestern a distinct advantage. The non-student sections are typically made up of many visitor fans and the visitors are typically louder and more into the game than the non-student Northwestern fans. It is a tough environment to play in and unless Illinois plays their very best, Northwestern will beat Illinois.
I'm not saying this game won't be close, but that is quite a statement when Illinois just beat Northwestern by 30 WITHOUT TSJ just a few weeks ago...
Rising star
Coleman pretty much stifled Boo last time they did this. Stayed in front of him and made him either pass away or take a tough contested shot
