Three words for Saturday.
Pace, pace, pace.
We have to play fast. Duquesne will want to keep the score in the 60s. We get the game into the 80s, we win by 15-20.

Will be 4th time Illini have played Dukes. Previous meeting was during Flyin' Illini season when Illini won 112-81 in the first game of the Illini Classic that year.
Hope the jitters are gone for Ty. He could feast on Saturday

Rest up, get right, get ready.
Wait we're playing Duquesne next? I thought we were supposed to lose to BYU next.

This is all that needs to be said. We GOT the lucky part that we couldn't control, and we took care of business vs. Morehead State. Now the only thing standing between us and that coveted Second Weekend is negligence on our part!
GO WIN THIS, BOYS! Not ready to go home!!
Sign me up for playing Duquense to make the S16 every year.

Yes after all the games are over. My guess would be a early evening 5 or 6 EST or later. The early game is probably going to be UNC/MSU followed by the other game in Charlotte and then all the other games from 5 to 9ish EST staggered the rest of the day
We took care of business today. We got some help with the draw. Now let’s go out and grab our ticket to the second weekend.
Need to come out with a better motor on Saturday. Hoping the slow start was just a case of nerves.

80 - 70 or 90 - 75--a win for the Illini? Am I way off here? I don't want to get overconfident.
I said when I saw the draw that we had it good.
Many disagree. They were wrong.

Couldn’t expect less from our fan base cause we are paranoid.
