Really hoping we expand the rotation a bit, and I think we will at home. Can't keep on relying on the top 6 to log all the minutes

So we play last place Michigan (7-10; 2-4) on the road. They're #77 KenPom. We're just a 2 pt favorite. What was Vegas thinking? EASY MONEY!

Now we play 13th place Rutgers (10-7; 2-4) at home. They're #91 KenPom. Perhaps a 5.5 pt favorite?

I’d say we’d be at least 8 pt favorites

Taking my wife to the Rutgers game and heading up to CU tomorrow. It’s been perhaps a decade since I’ve been to CU and that was mostly business related.
Any suggestions for bars Saturday night with perhaps some live music? Restaurant suggestions? I scoured trip advisor and my how things have changed since I moved away in 95.
Looking forward to this 60 year old once again looking like a 25 year old rabid, die hard, crazed Illini fan for a couple hours on Sunday. I’m sure she’ll be so proud. Yikes.
Suggestions from my brethren much appreciated in advance.

I'd check if you can get a reservation at The Ribeye. You most likely won't be able to with this short of notice, but that place is still 🔥

Why not? What players after the Top Six should get more minutes than what they are already getting? Realizing of course that matchups do enter into the equation.

No one to make those judgements except the staff. However, as fans you like to see some PT for the young guys with potential since it's a sign they are close to filling in those roles or are practicing well enough to get some chances.

We seem to see it every year --rotations tighten up by conference play.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer after a win, just am curious. So honest question, if Moretti is a defensive liability but got some playing time (I understand it was only 6 mins), what does DGL need to do to get some playing time, as well? Is he even worse on defense than Moretti? Cause I thought he was at least supposed to be better offensively.

Ultimately, I trust BU, but I do worry about our depth.
