Well you never know. Would be best win of season if we can pull it off.
Very weird season throughout CBB.
Oregon beats Whiskey at Wisconsin today.
Houston is playing like they want a title. UConn was sleep walking, now getting serious. Tennessee is healthy. Kansas sucks, and our whole team has had mono and influenza.
STRANGE times.
Please let us play together and represent tonight.

Does anybody have any analytics on how much a missed three inside the last five minutes affects the final score? It seems to me that it is an incredibly bad stat that doesnt get much attention. I see a lot of games won or lost in a missed three or two late.

I’m waiting for IlliniCon 2025, when we all fly to Vegas for insider panel discussions on the appropriateness of zone defenses and the fluidity of recruiting and NIL.

I asked Grok to make a picture of Illinicon 2025. Apparently, this is what we look like 🤣 IMG_8079.jpegIMG_8078.jpeg

In 1979, we beat Michigan St. with Magic Johnson, on a Thursday. We we were 15-0, and going to be number 1 in the polls the next Monday, but then lost on Saturday to Ohio St. (that had Kelvin Ransey and Clark Kellogg) in overtime. Additionally our point guard Steve Lanter tore his ACL in that game. We ended the season 19-15 and went to the NIT.

I was at both of those games. That was the most disappointing season ever, even worse than this season.

If we relax and play more fluid tonight, we’ll have a shot. It seemed with the limited personal, we had been pressing too hard, especially KJ. We have nothing to lose.

Playing the role of scrappy underdog has worked for Brad in the past. Wouldn’t mind seeing that tonight.
