So, if they are Jersey Mike’s, does that make us Jimmy John’s?P.S. Credit to our opponent ... I love Jersey Mike's subs, great food for a great price.

The correct answer is Jordan Bohannon. (but if it was between only those two, the answer would be "yes")
Hunter Dickinstein for me.If you could punch one, and only one, B1G player in the nose would it be Mulcahy or Davison?
You care. You're putting your cup in place just in case we don't.I know this sounds odd - but I almost don't care if we win tonight
I care about us playing well, seeing Curbelo at 100% and starting to solidify what the rotation is going to look like going forward, RJ's role etc. I still don't feel like we've seen the team running on all cylinders and that is much more important to me than a win
Rutgers has been really hot and may shoot lights out and win, but if we're playing well and clicking with all of our pieces in place (including the second half) and happen to lose a close game, I'll still be feeling good about our chances down the stretch
I don't believe anyone on our bench will understate the challenge this evening, which is why I don't find myself ever worrying about this team. Yes, they may be shorthanded and struggle, as they did at Maryland. They may go cold, as they did at Purdue. But whether at home or on the road I have confidence that they can win every game, even if they'll likely lose one here and there. In contrast to several seasons ago, when I lacked confidence that they could close the deal down the stretch, now I have complete confidence that they can, and usually will.I don’t know why but I’m honestly terrified for tonight. I think this will be a very very tough game. Rutgers is in a Cinderella comeback movie right now, and we’re just another team in their “winning streak montage”.
The headlines are too perfect: 4 ranked wins in a row! Down goes Illinois!
Sorry this is so negative but I think I’m bracing myself so I’m not let down. It’s all internal coping!

Learn to stop worrying and love the bomb, my friend!
Are you kidding me? I'm just worried about what I'm going to tell Pruman if we only win by 19, seeing how I bet his Poppy Farm against the odds.I’m all for giving opponents their due respect, but come on, people!
Can you imagine if certain posters were assistant coaches on the staff?
“Hey, Da’Monte, I’m really terrified of these guys. Aren’t you?”
“Kofi, it’s OK if we lose this one, don’t ya think?”
“Alfonso, how can you possibly guard these monsters?”
“Andre, don’t you know Rutgers beats everyone at the RAC?”
“Trent, let’s just go for a ‘good loss,’ and move on.”
“Coleman, let me give a detailed breakdown of how bad you are.”
“Brad, the only chance we have in the tourney is to reboot our whole offense - and defensive scheme, too - right now!”
Nothing personal, there are posters here who would be fun to watch a game with, but others… no, thanks. Now, GO ILLINI!!!
It’s at least a flagrant-1 foul to bet someone else’s farm when you’re out of beach houses.Are you kidding me? I'm just worried about what I'm going to tell Pruman if we only win by 19, seeing how I bet his Poppy Farm against the odds.
He is removing posts but for some reason people just don’t get it.I believe Dan recently requested the same for here, but I don’t think he is actively removing posts.
You know I had you in mind when I wrote that!
As fans, we have the luxury to choose where we sit on the scale of pessimist to optimist. Our outlook on a game isn't going to affect its outcome.Can you imagine if certain posters were assistant coaches on the staff?
Why’s everybody want to punch people? Y’all got anger issues.If you could punch one, and only one, B1G player in the nose would it be Mulcahy or Davison?
All I ever wanted was meaningful games in late February and now I have them. Ima love every minute of this game, win or lose. But win, please.I don't believe anyone on our bench will understate the challenge this evening, which is why I don't find myself ever worrying about this team.

Mulcahy - both are very punchable but his flops put him over the topIf you could punch one, and only one, B1G player in the nose would it be Mulcahy or Davison?
Nope..... Kofi goes for 25 pts and 14 boardsI don’t know why but I’m honestly terrified for tonight. I think this will be a very very tough game. Rutgers is in a Cinderella comeback movie right now, and we’re just another team in their “winning streak montage”.

Rutgers has reallyyyy shortened the rotation during this hot streak and all 5 starters are playing 30+ minutes.As fans, we have the luxury to choose where we sit on the scale of pessimist to optimist. Our outlook on a game isn't going to affect its outcome.
From a practical perspective, it would be silly to ignore Rutgers' recent performance. Based on the season as a whole, Torvik's model predicts Illinois -5.2. Based on the last three games, it predicts Rutgers -5.1. There's a valid reason to suggest this game is more difficult that it might appear.
That said, from the same practical perspective, Rutgers is extremely shallow. They basically have one bench player that contributes in any meaningful way, while we have several. They've also been playing at a very slow tempo. If we can dictate a higher-tempo game (potentially causing fatigue and fouls to become issues), we have a major depth advantage.
IU guards: Notice Plummer's form. He doesn't put his hand and the ball in front of his face.
And I am looking for a good 30 point blow out we have been missing, but I can wait until Mich State if I haaaave toI’m all for giving opponents their due respect, but come on, people!
