Week of 1/29 Games Thread

[grantlab]

glad we don't have to play at nebraska this year

It’s crazy that the one team to win in Lincoln this year (Creighton) won by TWENTY NINE!!

 

[RML]

So, if only one can lose, who do we want to lose in Wisky v. Purdue? I think I want Wisky to win. With our history in Madison, I'm more confident that we'll win there than that we'll beat Purdue in Champaign.
(Honestly, the game I am least optimistic about is at Maryland.)

 

[CV Illini]

Only 3 cell towers.

As flat as that state is they really only need one

 

[Navy_illini]

Need Nebraska to party like they never party before

We need to be ready

 

[WyattEarp]

Would you mind watching "A Clockwork Orange" on Sunday? Or, at least some obscure flick called "Orange" on Sunday?? Please?!?!?

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I just write stuff on post-it notes and hold my hand up in the air. Eventually the wind'll take it.

I would love to but working until 5...and the last guys caught watching a movie in the cockpit flew past their destination. *coughNWA/DELTAcough*

Not true that. More topography and elevation than IL. (at least in W NE)

Sometimes we gotta take one for the team, lol.

 

[Coop70]

Just no signal.....

 

[LuckyIllini]

So who do we root for Sunday? Wisconsin or Purdue?

That's not saying much

Playing Nb Sunday you run against them to take their legs out. Go Illini. Pu beat Wisc. We beat Pu n Wisc. Win out Illini.

Wisconsin because if we win on Sunday then we would be one back of Wisconsin and a half a game back of Purdue.

I know Wisconsin has the easier schedule, but to me the clear answer is Wisconsin over Purdue. I don’t see Purdue losing again unless it’s @ Wisconsin or @ us. Purdue is the title favorite per Kenpom, and we’d rather not have other title contenders collect road wins.

 

[blife]

Thank you Huskers. Now you can have that clunker game for us Sunday, to really help the Beloved.

 

[Illiniam1984]

Nebraska beating Wisconsin tightened the race. Have to take care of business on Sunday.

 

[battle]

Switch spots with wi on kenpom to 10 and also move past on adjo, now 5

 

[Chillinini]

Hopefully Neb will be coming down off their high on Sunday. Have to win this home game to be considered serious for a B1G title.

 

[LadyLoyalty]

Sorry for the random comment, watching Bill Walton announcing USC/Oregon. Please tell me his broadcast career dissolves along with the Pac 12. On top of his typical buffoonery, he’s actively bashing the B1G on air and actually claimed our teams get in the tourney only because the Big Ten owns the media. Maybe he’s just grumpy that UCLA is in the toilet again. Loser.

 

[TyKFactus]

I honestly feel like this race will come down to us beating Purdue at home.

 

[FairWeatherDieHard]

I honestly feel like this race will come down to us beating Purdue at home.

We will probably still need to beat ioWaah on the road, if we want the title outright.

Play on Thursday night. Friday at home. Fly to Champaign on Saturday. Lose to Illinois on Sunday and fly back to Lincoln.

Let me be a prophet man. I was trying to make it as vague as can be so I can be one of those guys that’s says “see!!” Lmao jk.

But yeah I mean it’s a 3 man race, just don’t personally see Wisconsin sustaining their success. I think they’re good, but I personally am not that impressed.
