Walton is a nut, but I agree with him that college refs call way too many fouls, and with 5 to be disqualified instead of 6, this gives them way too much control of games....
Also, I wish your guys all the luck in the world starting tomorrow morning and going until Mid march to April

I actually enjoy listening to Dakich. Not sure why all the hate.
Bardo bends over backwards to prove he's not a homer. So, it just seems like he's overly critical of Illinois and has much more praise for the opposing team. Just my opinion. I could be wrong...I mean there has been enough stuff to be critical about.

Sitting here with my son watching Gonzaga vs. WVU and thinking..........if the Mountaineers and Illini win the two games tonight, our new AP Top 5 is:
1. Illinois
2. WVU
3. Iowa
4. MSU
5. Wisconsin
4 Big 10 teams in the Top 5, with Illinois on top --- pending outcomes over the next 4 days, of course. Baylor Bears and Zags most definitely being removed from the top two spots. Who would make more sense to be #1?

Dan typically posts them here pronto -- once they're released.
Was thinking the same thing! Great opportunity to move up even without a Gonzaga loss. With a GU loss, your projection above could become reality.
I'm so nervous
Who has a better game? Adam Miller, Damontr William's or Trent Frazier... the answer will tell you what type of game this will be

Great Q. Tough call. Hoping for an "A-" grade from all three.
The freshman certainly has the best nose for basketball. He's a natural.
All three have to have a great game. The x-factor could be Curbelo.

I have a bad feeling about this game but cannot say why... I know this team is different this year and my normal Illini pessimism has no place.
That being said, I will be happy if we do anything from Win to lose by about 10. A big double digit loss does look bad especially with the spotlight so bright

I'll only be happy with a win. If we play tough but lose a close one, I'll still be hopeful, but I would much prefer a win.

I'm going to predict that Kofi will have a monster game, leading to an Illinois win.

I have 2 pre-game thoughts.
With all the hype surrounding tonight does Illinois overplay or do they stay within themselves?
I think we will see Baylor go on a couple big runs tonight. Who will step up and stop the run?
I guess we will see soon. After years of garbage basketball it's fun to get anxious for a big game again!

I must be the only fan that likes Collinsworth. I think he’s hands down the best color guy calling NFL games.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
Baylor 78
Illinois 72

Well as long as you’d prefer a win. /s
