Week of 1/29 Games Thread

[abchew2]

Illini will not be underdogs at Maryland. We as a fanbase know the struggles and we would be stupid to assume a win but that will not put the line in their favor when we are clearly a superior. Even despite our very disappointing game against them already.

Road games at Purdue, Iowa, and IU and home against us and Maryland. That's not an easy schedule

So, it's not like they are going to win out, but their schedule sounds really favorable if a trip to Bloomington is one of their five toughest challenges to end the year. "Very easy" it ain't, but anyone losing to IU right now can only blame themselves (beloved included).

It's a real mystery to me how Domask wasn't just demolishing the Valley.

Maybe he’s being utilized better here…don’t know anything about the SIU coaching team, so I don’t mean to cast aspersions.

And yet, as I noted earlier, they're a better team this year. The real Xavier Johnson in a win yesterday at UIC 29 pt, 16/18 ft.

Could you imagine SIU with Johnson, Domask and Jones?

Loyer has permanent s***-eating grin face if there is such a thing. High degree of punchability.

Uncanny duplication......it really really is....................

 

[WizardBill]

Need another renovation to undo what was done.
Change the name back to Assembly Hall or call it the House of Paign I am fine with either but stop the corporate sell out

Will NEVER happen. It’s always about the Benjamins.

Who was the Purdue player from like 10 years ago who was one of the easiest Big Ten players to hate?

Isn't this just a recurring player for Purdue who plays there for something like 9 years, a la Brian Cardinal?

Think he may be all BIG.

That ADA button does blend in.

Am wondering what’s going on with Arizona down by 11 points to 11-9 Stanford at home.

College basketball-Idis-osis. Nothing ever makes sense

Historically no, but this year...yeah. especially when you compare it to us.

They should be favored in all of those games except the Purdue road game.

For us we'll probably underdogs for @MSU, @MD, @UW, and maybe even at home vs PU.

Being favored and actually winning are two different things. Wisconsin has looked shaky this season on the road and @IU/@Iowa no matter how bad they are in not easy.

And we aren't going to be underdogs @MSU and @MD but like I said that doesn't matter anyway except for some.
