Young is the heart and soul of that team. When he gets steals, deflections and hits shots the rest of them feed off that. It's obvious watching any Rutgers game who the engine is

They are going to see a different Illini team. More Curbelo, a lot more Grandison, probably less Georgi.Box score from 12/20/2020 game at Rutgers:

@Dan I think we have a real problem here. How do we insert the trademark symbol (superscript TM) when we are talking about SpartansPresentedbyRocketMortgages? Wouldn't want anyone to get sued! Please advise at your earliest convenience. Thanks.Too bad about the SpartansPresentedbyRocketMortgages. I was kind of hoping to get a rematch with them this year. I love saying their new name!
I think recruits will have thoughts about it, too, and I intend to do my best to make sure no one forgets it! Good luck next year, SpartansPresentedbyRocketMortgages!

Someone needs to tell the bus driver that the mask is much more effective when over the mouth AND nose! Hope they tested him beforehand!
Even at a distance, Illini basketball is creating buzz again in Champaign-Urbana (and beyond)

Rutgers big guy could very well neutralize Kofi
Must be a bus driver thing. Haven’t seen a CTA bus or airport shuttle driver wearing a mask in anything other than chin diaper fashion yet.
I don’t think so. Kofi went for 17 and 12 last time against him. Johnson looked winded several times tonight
I’ll be there! Can’t wait to see a game in person.

I don't think Kofi really stop Myles Johnson either. Johnson went for 9 pts, 13 boards, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.
Does anyone know if you have to prepurchase parking? Or if there are pay lots at the stadium given the reduced number of fans?
Lots of lots bud.
so no need for prepay?
You should be fine without if you want to find something cheaper. Prepay if you want peace of mind. I would prepay if stadium capacity is 100. I would look for a meter tomorrow.
Fun facts:
- That first game against Rutgers was simultaneously Illinois' worst defensive game of the season and Rutgers' best offensive game of the season.
- Illinois was whistled for 26 fouls (most in a game this season, tied with 2nd IU game), and Frazier, Williams and Curbelo all fouled out, the only time any of the 3 have fouled out in a game this season. The fouls led to 36(!) free throws for Rutgers to 15 for Illinois, in a game they won by 3.

I didn't find any of your facts particularly fun.

Don't forget that doofus Mulcahy flopping all over the place.
I'd say the numbers point extremely towards "weird anomaly" instead of "worrying repeatable trend".
