Thorne needs to sit the bench, he is a turnover waiting to happen.

The loss of Nunn's toughness, defense, 3pt shooting and rebounding will probably cost Groce his job.
If Abrams starts hitting his shots again this game, we'll win.

Tonight's starting line-up could make or break the entire season for the Illini.

I just don't see us winning tonight, don't know why but I woke up with a bad feeling about the game this morning. Just feel that Michigan is a poor mans Indiana(too athletic and can shoot 3s).
I'm looking forward to Dan's post of the starting lineup a little bit before game time. Think it will be interesting and important. I'm going with
TJL
JCL
MH
LB
MM
That would be a number of changes in the starters. If those changes aren't made, I guess that is interesting too, but discouraging

Nope, we're winning this one. Our march to a First Four loss continues.
Michigan will be like 2-20 from 3 and miss a ton of free throws.

Groce should start any guys that are committed to defending.
I'd be shocked if Groce (or any coach, anywhere) started Finke at the 5 when he has Morgan available. I'd also be very shocked if Abrams isn't in the starting lineup. Whether he's a PG or not is debateable, he's a leader on the floor and in my eyes the offense flows better when he's in the game, especially with Hill.
I'm guessing:
Abrams
JCL
Hill
Black
Mav
In order of minutes played off the bench:
Kipper
Finke
TJL
Less than 10 minutes for Tate, Thorne, and DJW. No burn for AJ. Hill gets a few minutes at PG. Illini lose by 7.
I have no notion on the starting line-up but I would like to see Black in the center ring when we tip off. Seems like we rarely if ever win a tip-off this year and the way he can jump....why not?
