Love our tough schedule. Great games every week.

TT
Bama
Uconn
Tenn
Mizz

TT, Bama and Mizz should be like home games

Tenn @ Nashville and Uconn @ NYC are road games

I would be happy with 3-2, overjoyed at 4-1, ecstatic with 50

5-0 means we’re probably the #1 team in the country and favorites for a 1 seed going into B1G play. We’d already be 1 of maybe 6 or 7 teams with 4+ wins over top 15ish teams for the entirety of a season lol.

With the team looking meh against Colgate don’t understand mihailo not getting a few minutes. Your pregame thoughts about him playing don’t match underwood saying he needs to get thru an entire practice.

Any truth to the rumor he was heading back to Europe to play basketball?

He was listed as questionable pre-game, same as Lee and he didn’t play either. A questionable status just means it’s uncertain (ie, not guaranteed) whether they will play or not.

So, nothing remotely odd or even out of the ordinary going on here and no rumor that I know of. Got a link?

Edit: Though I *would* find it super weird he was working out pre-game if he was going back to Europe… sounds like somebody just made something up to troll etc

Likely nothing to returning to Europe but have heard it said a couple of times from likely frustrated Illinois fans (regarding him not playing)

Where is this rumor coming from? First I've heard of it. Seems like nonsense.

Seriously?
They must not listen to Brad, according to him he hasn't been totally pain free after practices.
The staff seems to be practice more caution with injury and illness than others.
Patience. Its not even December.

We're gonna need Petro healthy with so many tough games coming up. Surely he'll be cleared for Bama.

I assume he is under contract? Would he not be in violation of that? Doubt very much there is anything to this.

Both teams are going to get a lot of threes up. The difference is we are much better at rebounding the misses.

Gonna have to shoot it better than the 25% we've shot over our last three halves though.

Don't know what to make of this game. My guess is that we will show up to play. Bama is tough.

Do what PU did, shut down the driving lanes and makes them use a lot of clock. Bama likes top push the pace with their guards. We slow them down and wear them out.

I would love to see some zone but the way Alabama shoots the three there is no way Underwood will play zone.

I know a little less than nothing about this rumor, but if he decides to return to Europe to play ball, it is hard to imagine anyone stopping him.

I’m pretty sure this rumor was started by the Sleepers and not intentionally. Just a wild guess as to why he wasn’t playing.

Do we have any word on whether Tomi, Big Z and Petrovic will be playing Wednesday?
