I missed it when I was growing up in Champaign (I was a Seaboat loyalist), but a Harold's just opened next door to where I work in Carbondale, now I'm a big fan.

This is less about Iowa and more about Frank. But it was against Iowa and I like to watch it every so often anyway. Figured it was worth posting again. 
It is easy to see Curbelo doing exactly this sort of stretch in a game.

We will lean heavily on Kofi to hold his own against Garza. Kofi will need to have that energy from the start and actually guard the 3 point line where Garza is shooting nearly 50%! This will allow everyone else to stick close to their responsibilities and prevent open shots from 3. Pray that we can do all these things AND rebound AND have our offense moving because it's going to take all of that for us to win.

Been thinking about this game for a long time now.....
I stopped eating as I contemplated this game and the ramifications it will have on the Illini season...
Still pondering...........................

wrote down ideas for Brad and gave him a call.....
" Chris, quit calling me "
Multiple personalities notwithstanding, I have finally come to the following conclusion of the game tonite....

I don't understand any of this, but I know I love it.
Dear Lord, thank you for this day, thank you for the blessings you have given to us. Thank you especially for Edgar Padilla, Connor Serven, and Brandon Lieb. Today, I have a request, I request that the Illinois Fighting Illini defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes in tonight's men's basketball game. In your name we pray, amen.

That one is ALWAYS worth reposting. Great memories. I was actually at that game (as a student back then) and man it was loud in there, especially after that Frankie no-look pass and jam!This is less about Iowa and more about Frank. But it was against Iowa and I like to watch it every so often anyway. Figured it was worth posting again.

Let's hope he gets tossed and both of his kids do too. For bonus points toss his wife too

Really want to see Ayo dictate things on offense. This is a game where he can really elevate his draft stock.
Would love to see a Mizzou-like performance from him minus the L.

I want someone to remake this with the current B10 Coaches and create a poll for each round winner

As mentioned this is a good opportunity for Ayo and Kofi to strengthen their draft status. Ayo at this point is projected on most sports sites to be drafted anywhere from 15-20 in the 1st round. Kofi on the other hand is projected middle to late 2nd round. To be an effective player in the league he has to show he can guard on the perimeter and he also has to develop a mid-range shot, the days of running offenses through centers in the post are pretty a anomaly in today's NBA, the only player I saw over 7 ft. in the 1st round was a guy from Barcelona and he was a stretch 4/5 and was known for shooting 3s.
They were good....think the best team that I can remember was the Dalton Thornridge team I believe 1971...Buckner, Batts and company were very good

I can’t watch tonight but hope to catch the replay
I expect it to be close whatever the result. Probably a within 5 game either way. If we lose, will be kicking ourselves for so-and-so missed FT or so-and-so bad ref call in final minutes. Or both!
Book it.

Illinois 87
Iowa 84
I hope Iowa isn't hot tonight from 3. It will be alot of trouble if they are. This game scares me because how we beat them down last year. they will want to destroy us. With that said, I think we win 87-83. GO ILLINI!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't start off sleepwalking and spot them a big lead.
Looking forward to this one: Illini 77 - Iowa 72.

Watching an Iowa “classic” from Feb 83 on BIG Network. But man, great memories of Harper, Welch, Leonard, Montgomery and the dynamic Frosh duo of Douglas and Winters.
If only Harper and Welch were on the team the following season. Would have been one of the best in Illini history.

Beat them down last year? wouldn't call it that exactly
1-1
February 2nd Iowa won by 7
March 8, we won by 2.
I didn't mean beat them down on the scoreboard...I mean beat them down in the "fighting" during and after the game. They obviously both don't like each other as everyone here knows that. I do with we could have the Orange Krush tonight. State Farm Center would have been rocking tonight!!
Good excuse for one of my favorite GIFs. Need to channel a little Feliz for tonight's game.
