I think we will have most league games come down to a couple possessions. Nobody is great, but most are decent.

Will be Purdue and a bunch of teams with 8-12 wins.

This will be a tough year for league play. Good teams and all will be up for us.

I believe his strategy is to get an UM out in the first 7 seconds, preferably in transition between questions, otherwise he tries to let the answer develop

Why couldn't he have made that statement prior to the B-C game, rather than let the speculation get out of hand on social media. That speculation got really wild.

I'd prefer our coach not worry about what weirdos on social media are doing tbh.

What would that statement have been?

"There have been some rumors surrounding Skyy Clarks Instagram activity..."

Yeah I don't see underwood doing that.

No such thing as a must win in January. Regardless, this is a must win.

Didn’t some “insiders” intimate that Clark wasn’t really injured?

Saw some stats/numbers on ESPN, and among them included their BPI... Basically saying this game was a tossup (I think 51/49 NU...)

Here I am pondering against the backdrop of a confused and flustered Illini nation concerning how the Illini will progress for the rest of the season....

after much pondering with no wandering I expect the game tonight to be.............................

Illini 72
mildcats 60

With all this pondering , you guessed it......................................

Now my world is at peace .........peace out fellow Illini fanatics and carry on the good fight.............................
