Yep, I hope we all get a Goode laugh tomorrow LOL
You are right about no guarantees. Nebraska almost took down Purdue and remember last year if not for the Huskers win at Wisconsin, we don't get a share of the title.

It's days like this when I'm thankful for the concept of sunk cost in economics.
The past is gone. All that matters is the marginal game. That's tomorrow v. Bucky at home. Clean slate. Show up. Work hard every possession. Make your teammates look good on offense. Help out on D.
Win. The capacity is there. Need some will and some pride in workmanship.

I'll be there, ride or die forever. ILL-
I really do believe Luke can turn this season around. He opens everything up with his shooting and directly compliments our best players best move.

And he's a positive, team-oriented influence in the locker room and on the floor.

Can't put al of this on his shoulders. Hasn't practiced, will be tentative on his injured foot, is an off-the-ball offensive player. We need him, but can't expect a miracle.

I read yesterday we were a +4? That’s a big move.Illini -6.5...
I feel like we could win because all logic says otherwise and that’s the way sports works sometimes. plus not having Skyy might help us, no disrespect intended. He was hurting us defensively, had lost his shot and was generally disengaged. So more minutes for Ty, Epps and Harris should help. So i feel foolishly optimistic, but that feeling may be gone in 5 minutes of game time.

Looks like Wahl is uncertain to play tomorrow. That is likely the major jump we are looking at in the spread. After the way the last 2 weeks have looked, I see a PK at best for Illinois. I am sure the line will move that way by tipoff.Illini -6.5...

I’m here for a Ty Rodgers breakout game. Want it so bad.
No, line is moving because there is a ton of money on someone in this game.

What word
If he could shoot he would start. Is that something that can be completely reworked? We shall see.

No kidding...all of that is correlated. Money moved toward Illinois in most books because of possibility of Wahl missing game, which is what I indicated for reason why the line moved so intensely from the opening spread of Illini +4. I absolutely believe the line will correct toward PK by tipoff for variois reasons discussed on this and other threads about a certain injury to Illini player, as well as the type of basketball Illini have been playing of late.
There is major value in jumping on Wisconsin now. This will likely result in a near PK by gametime.
