They are not road warriors. First half will be close, but we eventually pull away. They have a good offense and our defense has struggled at times, but we are just too talented.
Illini: 86

How nice is it to see OSU and Michigan in the cellar? Their fans just have to wait it out until football season.

It’s because I took him 10+ in the last game

Optical illusion .... doesn't even appear to be flat.
He really got screwed a few years back when we shared the B10 title with Wisconsin after losing our entire coaching staff in the offseason. I think Gard won it, only because as usual, the 'experts' underestimated their talent at the beginning of the season. Underwood should have won it.
It took until this year for me to realize that the markings on the Oregon court are silhouette's of trees. Didn't know what the hell they were trying to do their.
Each whisker of Chuck Norris’ beard is a silhouette of a sequoia tree.
Step on the gas from the beginning. If Mast steps out do you send QG on him and let CH stay in the lane? Let’s show Nb who is the boss.
I don’t think today goes down as the most important game of the year, but I do think the difference between a win and a loss today is staggering. Win and we are in GREAT position for a Friday start in the BTT (top 4), and still control our destiny for the regular season championship. Lose, and we’ve got work to do to stay out of the BIG “tier two”.

We have to show up today ready to play.
I have a feeling that we'll need DGL in this game for a "Sencire" like defensive stop and to energize the team.
Hoping for a double digit lead in the first 10 minutes, and then hold that lead for the game, but for some reason it seems like it will take a dawg fight for the W.

We HAVE to win our home games........we really really do...........
With each win, the next game becomes even more important. The Big 10 Champion target gets more realistic and one of the teams we’re chasing is going to lose today. So lets keep piling on the wins and see where this goes.

I understand the gist of your comment but I will say, we are not tier two - even if we lose. A home loss is important not to pick up as it would require us to pick up another road win. A loss today would likely knock us out of the championship race. I care more about NCAA success than a B1G championship. However, we need to keep competing for it until the final week to maintain our competitive spirit.
I don't know, I think this one is worse . . . much worse.I left the phot large so everyone could get the full nauseating view.

We need to start off hot and control the game from the outset..........Play tough defense like we have most of the year and turn on our transition offense to steamroll them into submission.......I don't want the beloved to be nebby's first road win in the B$G this year........

We ran zone for 1 maybe 2 plays that game as I recall. IU turned the ball over when we did.

I almost say it's worse because of the brightness on the TV when watching. Oregon is bad, but not as straining on the eyes for me.
