Is it weird I’m more concerned about Ziegler than Knect? Knect is definitely a dude but I don’t think he’s gone up against anyone with TJ or Ty’s size, strength and athleticism. Not sure we have anyone who can stay in front of Ziegler.
Pregame: Illinois at Tennessee, Saturday, December 9th, 11:00am CT, CBS

Would be an ideal matchup for DGL if he was ready defensively because he has the quickness and still has size on Ziegler. Don’t think he is ready but maybe some time for the experience.

Moved up 2 in NET for our big win over FAU. But that pales in comparison to the massive win over NIU for Indiana St which moved them up 9 spots.
Nice! Will be heading there as well!

I'm this greedy right now
We're officially out of the frying pan and into the fire. But hot patootie bless my soul, let's go in there like a bat out of hell and make our rock and roll dreams come true.
The whole country of adults. HS bball players will be at practice, or in bed still at 11AM on a Saturday. Top 20 matchups should be between 3:00PM and 7:00PM.
I feel knecht will play Saturday, but be slower moving and rusty. Of course we also said that about Tyler Kolek coming off an injury. He was ok
you took the words right out of my mouth
Either way, it has been a successful trip. Rather have the win though.
ILLINI IN NE
- Omaha,Ne.
He started their game against George Mason last night and had 10 points. He will probably be full strength Saturday.
College hoops is just now getting warmed up. CBS starts slowly integrating the games between the college football season, then the NFL. Army vs Navy is still a marquee game for them and we're only in December for basketball. I'll take the CBS/National game at 11AM vs the 7PM Big Ten Network game 100 times out of 100.
I think we’ve got too much size/length for Ziegler. If he gets by Ty, we’ve still got Coleman and Quincy and Terrence around to help, and Ty has a shot at a chasedown block, too. Plus, who is the 5’10 kid guarding? Ty will put him in the basket.

Definitely recommend Stock & Barrel.
There are several other places on Market Square that are also worth going to.

That was a double overtime game. I don't think it can be called a blowout. I believe it was also Super Bowl Sunday.
Yes it was. Definitely not a blow out. We had to come back from a double digit deficit in the 2nd half. It was the second time we played Georgia Tech that season which was weird. Also that is the game Kendall got hurt in.
Moved to Knoxville 4 years ago. Market square is great. I’d also recommend Stock and Barrel for burgers and bourbon. If you’re a brunch person, check out Tupelo Honey or Ruby Sunshine. Also, Cruze farm for amazing ice cream.
I’ll be the guy in the 7th row trying to start an ILL-INI chant. Can’t wait!
