I was in Brugge, Belgium on the Sat vs Tenn.
I tried desperately to watch via VPN and YouTube wouldn’t go for it. They required the device exact location.
The Fox Spirts app doesn’t offer video of the Fox network games apparently, just FS1 and others, so I was reduced to radio.

What sort of device? It's been my experience that if you are using a:

Computer: VPN
Phone: GPS Spoof App

The streaming service dictates this. The deeper "security" is GPS lock down. It's harder for the normal user to spoof.

I haven't been out of the country in 20 years but with Nord VPN on my computer I can't even connect to YTTV in the browser unless I turn the VPN off.

No issues on my phone though.

I think the court looks pretty cool, with the greatly toned down contrast. The Ducks would be undefeated if not for a lucky banked three at the end of the UCLA game. A win in Eugene would be quite an accomplishment. I--L--L--
I'll be at Hec Ed for the game on Sunday. Can't wait!

I've seen minutes of a couple games. Their 7ft big guy, Bittle, former McD, leading scorer is a tough out. This is going to be an interesting match up for us. We haven't faced this quality size. Big Z is not this good. imo. Also they spread it around. 6 guys with double digit points. I will be there watching. Should be a good game.

I’ll also be there in person. My wife and I are taking our 11 year old son on a little PNW trip to see the Illini play both games on this road trip. Should be a fun week!

They have played a bunch of cupcakes. 90%. I love our team, but have huge concerns with our rotation, minutes, and 40-3 pt shots each game. So much talent and still disgusted that Ty Rodgers red shirt. He is 8pts, 5 boards, and good pit bull defender. Better than 3 of our current 9 man rotation. I just don't get it!

Feel like DGL has a breakout game against HM competition. Can see his confidence growing game by game other than a stinker against 'Bama.

Love him. But his % and analytics are still bad. Not efficient at all.

I like being able to play at Oregon at this time of year. The fanbase will be football focused and the students still on break, so hopefully that will lessen their home court advantage. I don't believe they are known for having a particularly hostile environment anyway outside of just being an overall talented team to face on the road.

These two games are also our only real long road trip outside of playing at Rutgers and against Duke at MSG in February. Every other road game is a pretty quick plane ride.

agree, I think you're getting Oregon at a prime time for Illinois. Most fans are still focused on football and winter term doesn't start for another week. So yea, not a great home court advantage in this game.

This would be a huge win. Like everybody else, I'm hoping we can trip the wire and bring two Ws back home. I'll be watching the Washington game, but the Oregon game doesn't square with my time schedule.

This would actually be a trip I'd like to do at some point. Hopefully, it's not too long before Illinois has this road trip again and I can make it (life's happening right now, so it's not a good time to make this trip at the present time).

Been thinking the same thing for a while now. Wondering if there is more to the story but IMO, we would be a better team today if he were in the rotation instead of BH.

Still a very good Oregon team with a good coach. I've always been a Dana Altman fan.

May have to take a nap to get this one in live since my wife and son have a really early flight and I'm taking them to the airport. Might have to watch this one on tape delay, but I'll last as long as I can watching live. :ROFLMAO: But this might be me by halftime.

Ideally, with the full B1G schedule this should be an every other year trip, … right?

Oregon fans: will they be angry and out for blood, or busy crying in their beer, after this football game?
