I think we win. Boys have to get us hyped before a deflating loss @OSU.

As shown by TN's last two games, they can be had! So have them!

Some 3s fall today. We win by 11. Ben, Tomi & Keaton have a game. 90-79.

The Illini have had 8 days to heal up, get the injured in better game shape, practice together to work on timing issues and switches on defense, and address playing hard and smart to close out games. I have faith that they hang with the Vols in a close game, and win with a strong effort at the end. Illinois 78 Tennessee 73.

If there is ever a game to show why Brad likes to have the type of player like Mirk, Tomi, and Z, this is going to be it.
Need to draw their bigs out of the post and make them guard.

Get Boz and Andrej downhill once the lane clears.

We better not hear in the presser.. “we have to find ways to win a game when the ball doesn’t go down.”

Optimistically cautious for an Illini victory.
Let’s get ready for a boot scootin’ boogie in Nashville.

I think today is a win. Going to be a battle. If I could place a wager on today, I’d be willing to bet we will see the over on Andrej’s rebounding and assist numbers.

I hope the boys run more today on makes or misses. Get the ball out of the net and go. Get wide and deep. We also wouldn’t have a problem with any of the guys trailing getting a shot from top of key of diving right to the hoop.

I’d also like to see more sets out of the “Iverson Cut”. I don’t notice us using it a lot, but with some of the wide big bodies we have to set screens and either KB, MP, and AS being the Iverson cutter, I think it would be a nice little wrinkle for some easy shots at the rim, pull ups, and lobs to maybe Big Z.

Kylan Boswell is the only one who can match the physicality that Tennessee brings.

Gonna be a long night watching Illinois get bumped off their spots while we lazily chuck 3s because we don't want to play physically.
It's gonna take a 37% shooting percentage from 3 to win this one.

We are incredibly one dimensional offensively.

Back off Mirk, let him shoot himself out of the game. Bring help and jump him off the bounce. He over dribbles...

Play Wagler physically, he can't handle it (yet). Key on his spin, get a steal

Back off Andrej, bring help on his drives...he is completely unwilling to pass en route to the basket.

Petro-Be overly physical, he'll turn it over.

Kylan- Go under on every screen....make him be a 3 pt shooter.


Prove me wrong Brad....

We will not lose tonight! This is a great spot for this team. 8 days of healthy full practices to get ready for this game. We will get right today
