I still fail to see how fans speculating about how many bench minutes will be had impacts the game on the court.

I might throw my TV out the window tonight if Bad Illinois shows up.

Probably won't even dent it with the 13 feet of snow it will land on.
Stuck it a 10!
Wondering who's going to break out for Northwestern tonight, we seem do that quite often. Don't think we run away with the game but looking forward to improvement from our younger players and bench. Probably see some zone surrounding Kofi also. Should be a good night to shoot 3's.
I think we're safe. BU says NU is already in Champaign.No chance this game gets canceled because of awful weather conditions, right?
Did they move it to Texas?No chance this game gets canceled because of awful weather conditions, right?
I don't know if that necessarily means no chance. Is my memory playing tricks on me, or wasn't there was a cancellation simply because the university didn't want people coming and going to the stadium given the travel hazards? (I don't live anywhere near Champaign by my weather app shows clear skies and getting very cold into the evening, so...seems safe.)I think we're safe. BU says NU is already in Champaign.

I was there in Orange Krush. I was literally just talking about that game randomly this morning. They didn't make us stand outside before the game for that one. Just check in and go home until the doors open. In the middle of the game, they announced school was cancelled for the next day. The whole student section erupted.Who else was at that Penn State game where they let everyone down into the lower bowl? That was a fun one.
I should have clarified perhaps. I think that playing our regular rotation guys at a bit higher clip during a game like this is fine. Our rotation guys 6-9 absolutely need a bit more floor time and if we can swing it, NU is a fine opponent to try it against with their weaker bench.Tough situation. On the one hand, I agree that we shouldn't be overlooking any B1G opponent. On the other hand, we need to keep developing our depth to prepare for the stretch run. This team is going to stall out if we can't get some consistent production out of the Grandison, Williams, Hawkins, and Bezhanishvili group. Need at least one to be really dependable on both ends of the floor. Ideally two or three (to hedge against injury, foul trouble, or an off-night). And if you can't play these guys against Northwestern, how are you going to play them past the second rounds of the B1G or NCAA tournament? Can't just think short-term here. Not with the types of goals we have in mind.
