ILLINI IN NE

And DU had a smaller but VERY vocal crowd at Thursday's game.
Illinois fans need to be LOUD tonight!!!!
Lol, maybe not then. Just the name of the school.
Less talented teams beat more talented teams because they BOTH outshoot and out-hustle them. When we fell behind against Morehead State, they were shooting lights out but you could tell our guys were playing with more grit. It was a matter of time before we blew that game open.
I expect we’re going to see the same sense of urgency today. This Illini team doesn’t seem satisfied by being there this time around. This is a southern breakfast game for us: bring the grits and take the gravy.
They are aggressive defensively and we like to push the envelope with pace. If we draw a few fouls early we’re going to smoke this team.

You can also sync to the noise of the crowd cheering after a made shot. Takes a bit of practice, but it ain’t rocket surgery
More reason to root for WSU today

Most important game of the Underwood tenure. Must win. You can’t let this opportunity pass you up knowing next season won’t be as good. Go get it done!
will the dukes deploy the center on Ty scheme? If they do and we are playing slow, Ty brings the ball up the floor with ease as the rest of the team sets up offense.
And he sounds like somebody is pulling his vocal cords out of his mouth
Greg originated and popularized "Daddy Brad" because he made Juwan his beetch, so I dont get too worked up when they say things far less offensive than our own fans do.
Just an ear
This is the biggest one IMO. Anything past a Sweet 16 will be gravy for me. Of course I want more, but going into the season I felt like competing for a Big Ten title and making the Sweet 16 would be a great season & I still feel that way.
Late to this thread but I agree with this to an extent. Teams are definitely out hustling to loose balls though at certain stages in our game, not necessarily only the beginning.
That’s why it was refreshing to see TJs determination to get that loose ball against Morehead State.
Let’s start that way today.
Yes just win. Can’t let them stay in the game probably will hit a few shots to start the game. Need Quincy and Ty to play their best game tonight.

They aren't the worst seed remaining, though.Let's just call it what it is. Duquense is the worst team left in the tourney.
