Would love two USC wins to get them back to Quad 1, but that ain’t happenin’. We better be ready for the Badgers, and I hope the UC is full of orange!

I bought tickets for all 17 games. Cannot wait!!
This may be a dumb question, but I'm looking at tickets on Ticket master and is our game Session 6?
Our defense sure needs to be a whole lot better if we are going to beat Wisconsin... Don't love the vibes of this team at the most important time of the season. One more win guarantees a 2 seed in the NCAA, though I think we might have solidified that already.
Hate that Wisconsin matchup. That's the team I least want to play after Michigan. Bad matchup as they don't really have guys we can cheat off to help on defense.
Wis, then Michigan.. yuck for our confidence heading into the tournament if we lose either of those games..
We did want the rematch against Wisky healthy did we not? Brad also said he wanted to play Michigan at least 1 more time if not 2..
Here is our chance.
I can’t.
Offensively, couldn't agree with you more...
Everything else though, I like. I thought the issue mainly was we didn't beat them on the glass nearly as much as we should have. Also, Wisconsin has lost some ones they shouldn't have - and in some cases handedly. I wouldn't be shocked if Washington has that game close in the second half...
No Chance, Michigan is on another level. They are going to win the Big 10 tournament and win the National Championship. They are ridiculous.
Love a rematch with the badgers. Let’s shake some demons from that choke job and give Michigan another shot. This Wisconsin game feels like the most important game of the season so far. A win, we solidify our 2 seed, go into a no lose situation with a rematch with Michigan. A loss to Wisconsin would really have us on edge going into the big dance. Let’s walk the walk & show that the game in Champaign was a fluke.
Yep and Wisconsin burned up the nets
It took a 16-36 performance from 3 and us being down Kylan & Andrej... we're the much better team, I won't fear playing them
Not playing nearly as well as we were back then.

I will be in the building.
Look for the guy in orange holding a loan from the bank to afford five hours of UC beverages

I’d like to advise all. Less than 48 hours before Illinois’ last loss (to Michigan), Wisconsin got beat by Oregon by 14.
perfect bracket. decent first game. probably lose to Michigan if we make the second. go to the tourney with more rest
We are higher on Torvik (5th nationally) across our last 5 games than the preceding 5 games (6th nationally) which included that Wisconsin game
How much we talking for a blue guy?
Rough path to a BTT title. Likely Wisconsin, then Michigan, then MSU/Nebraska/Purdue. Tough sledding... I guess the positive thing is, you win those 3 games and it's probably pretty comparable to 3 wins you need in the Sweet 16 on to make it to the National Championship game. I also like that we're going to get 5 days rest and we're coming off a bad game. Makes me think we might come out swinging and a lot healthier than we were today. So we have our path, now we need to execute
