Marquette is arguably the worst P4 team in the country. I say arguably because the only P4 team that may be worse is Rutgers.
Pregame: Illinois vs Maryland, Wednesday, January 21st, 6:00pm CT, BTN

Maryland’s star big guy, Payne, hasn’t played in over a month. Their team is just super limited without him.
Myles Rice was a highly anticipated portal get, but isn’t even a starter.
The fact that it’s a Quad 4 game tells ya all you need to know.

Is it possible for the Illini to actually drop in these rankings (Torvik-Net-Kenpom-Bracketmatrix) with home wins against Minny and Maryland?
And then (God forbid) with a road loss to PU, they can rise in these rankings?

Let me guess, Payne will return for the game Wednesday?
At last look, the 5-foot-11 Coit is 6-8 from three and 10-14 for 30 points (PSU has 39). Maryland has hit 11-18 three-pointers. The only real chance Maryland has to beat the Illini (other than the hex, of course), is if they go wild from the arc.
I suggest we cover Coit. End of scouting report.

Who is this Coit guy? He went nuts. Kylan will play him tight.
honestly I think they should do a mix of bos, Andre and Keaton. Coit was very quick but loved to do that criss cross into the step back 3. andre and Keaton have the length to make that step back a little more difficult
Keaton struggled against Reid from Northwestern and won't fair well against super quick, miniature guards. Rather have Boswell.
Based on the 1K point celebration I think he’s fine.

I hope Maryland doesn't "Coit us". 
Glad he had that game today and Maryland hit 18 3s. Will have our guys attention
We must interrupt thatI hope Maryland doesn't "Coit us".
And go for a career high in points...Let me guess, Payne will return for the game Wednesday?

One game against a bad team isn’t going to bother the Illini. They will shut down Maryland. BU will have them ready.

Lets win this thing comfortably and go into W Lafayette locked and ready to go. Win 2 this week and we could be on the cusp of a top 5 ranking..a lot to ask for of course.
12 of the last 15 games have been Maryland wins thats insane
As the recent point-shaving case highlights the pervasiveness of gambling within college sports, I'm not sure how coaches (ours included) can continue to get away with completely concealing injury information. There are always people around a program who know a player's true status and it's naive to think that some of them aren't exploiting that knowledge.
Of course, I'm not sure modern medicine has ever developed a healing elixir like an upcoming game with the Illini. There are even some versions of the Bible that explain the miracle of Lazarus by saying his team was scheduled to play us the next night.
