Pretty hard to justify Illinois out of state tuition. Couldn’t even get her to apply (she’s a bit of a contrarian). I actually think she might end up as a spartan. I’m not sure which is worse.

Time will tell my friend....but we have more than three losses left in the BI0.....with 7 road games to go ..5-6 more losses are likely
Miami at Home
Missouri in St. Louis
will gladly eat crow if you are correct....but odds are not likely to happen
I really don't believe our llini fanbase will ever be Chill....we are manic-depressive.... in that the sky is falling or we are on the verge of Final 4. We sometimes are "chill" during offseasonTotally, like coach said, "there are no upsets in the B10," so if you're buyin' the notion that anyone can beat anyone, then losing in a hostile environment to a good team is nothing to freak out about.
Even in a blowout L, as long as it doesn't appear that we were nonchalant at the start or we quit after getting down, then fans should stay chill. The overly emotional posting after losses isn't real interesting at this point.
Oh? How's the DeLorean doing these days?
What about the weather? Can we expect an early spring?
To win the thing that we need to do is play great D, hit the boards to eliminate second chance points, limit turnovers and just dont let them get a large home court spurt in a matter of a few minutes. That's what Purdue does at home. They always seem to have spurt of 3s or large runs that help them win. If we can do these things we can win.I felt sure Wisconsin was a loss and feel the same about this one. Lets hope I'm on a roll.
Kenpom is usually a good predictor at this stage of the season, and has us about 5.5 point underdogs. Given the recent play, though, I'd expect the line to be quite a bit closer, 2 to 3 pts.
Should be a good test. Any conference road win is going to be a good win.

It's funny how many people think Ayo's statistics will be directly related to his draft slot. His potential is obvious. He's leaving. Mid first round at the latest.
If we win this one at Mackey, just start engraving our name on the B1G trophy.
Beat Purdue, UM and Minnesota--all 3 a possibility--and we will be in the Top 10.
Especially with how often ranked teams are falling this yearBeat Purdue, UM and Minnesota--all 3 a possibility--and we will be in the Top 10.
Well i am sure they shoot it better at home but most of those should be non conference is not the same as the B10 home games most likely but i didnt look. I hope we can hold them to 30% or less. Lets just D up, rebound, no TOs, and attack the rim and we can win again. I think we can cause them a lot of problems. too.I knew Purdue shot it better at home, but didn't realize it was such a huge difference. According to Trank their 3 pt pct is 24% on the road vs 39% at home. That's crazy.
Without Kofi! I assure you Williams wishes we didnt have him this year! This team is getting netter this year each game and beyond.!Go Illini make the boiler fans leave disappointed because Kofi owned and our team repeated the last victory.Last year we were up at Purdue at the end of the 1st half, 34-33
Atta girl, we'll be rooting hard for you! I L L!!!I live in West Lafayette. Daughter is a senior in HS and thinking about Purdue. Bought tickets for this one right after the Michigan win. I NEED this win so badly. Will be there with husband and son with my Illini gear on and shouting I-L-L from the rafters.
