Yeah, i think we're gonna make things very difficult for Minix and do our damnedest to not let Thomas get in a groove. If so, this could be a comfy win.
Pregame: Illinois vs Morehead State, Thursday, March 21st, 2:10pm CT, truTV

The staff will have the scouting reports on the teams we could face this weekend...at this point in the season there's only a few things that should change (as far as adjustments) from game to game....basically, defensive assignments...making sure a certain player doesn't get his feet set for a shot..make him move....this certain player has a tendency to back cut a lot so be prepared....offensively be prepared for double teaming...etc....it's about doing what we do more than us adjusting to our opponent
don't forget the Jardiance dancers telling us where our perinium is.

Public Service Announcement: the game will be available on the Max streaming service, formerly HBO Max.
It's part of the "Bleacher Report Add-On" which has all the sports content on the Turner networks, TNT NBA, TBS baseball, the tourney, etc. That will be an additional paid option at some point in the near future on top of the cost of Max, but for the moment it's free for all Max subscribers.

NCAA Tournament First Round Preview | 3 Illinois vs. 14 Morehead State Thursday - University of Illinois Athletics
Third-seeded Illinois opens its 34th NCAA Tournament, and fourth straight under head coach Brad Underwood, Thursday vs. 14th-seeded Morehead State at CHI Health

Is it true that TJ is 25 points away from breaking the single-season scoring record at Illinois? Thats crazy considering he missed a chunk of the season.
DGL played 4, 4 and 7 minutes in the Conference Tournament games after not playing at all after the Penn State loss. Minutes came at the expense of Harmon primarily.
Do we think he sees real minutes in the NCAA Tournament? It's unusual to go 9-deep.

If we make it far enough, DGL will see the floor. And what I really appreciate about this team is if he does play, I know he's gonna give it everything he's got. On less connected teams, guys like Dain and DGL would be pouting and it would be a complete disaster if they see the floor in big games. Case in point, see last year. Instead, both have gotten better, locked into their roles, and done what needs to be done. It says a lot about the coaching staff, team leaders, and individual players.

I’m impressed by DGL seemingly going from “I’m in the game to provide instant offense” to “I’m in the game to provide instant defense.”
Way off thread topic - but MAX is, IMO, a good value for all you get with it.This is less than ideal, but you can pay $9.99 for a one-month subscription to HBO Max. They are streaming all of the TBS / TNT / TruTV games this year (but not CBS games).
I know I would pay $10 to watch Illinois in the tournament if I had to. I actually already subscribe to HBO Max and I can see our game with Morehead State in the app.

Healthy Dose of Dain in this one. They dont have the size, and we could have a good chunk of their starters in foul trouble by half.

Get me to tip-off already!
Large dose of running out in transition and booty ball. Get their star in foul trouble and it's lights out.
Illini: 88
Morehead St.: 64

It speaks to an "anything for the team" mentality that we couldn't quite get last year, and I love itI’m impressed by DGL seemingly going from “I’m in the game to provide instant offense” to “I’m in the game to provide instant defense.”
We got to make easy layups. Missing easy bunnies made a lot of our games this season harder than they needed to be, Ohio State game in the BTT immediately comes to mind. Especially for MD, TR and QG who tend to be guilty of this
