Week of 1/5 Games Thread

Iowa is down 15 to Minny 9 minutes left

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Florida bounced back from the Mizzou lost beating Georgia. 92-77.

Can you believe a ranked Georgia team would get crushed on the road that badly to a struggling Florida team!?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

We’re going to get a rested and p!$$£D off Iowa Sunday, aren’t we?

 

[Oranges]

I suppose Michigan is also soft and poorly coached too then, right??

 

[From the cheap seats]

This might just be that year when no team can win the tourney.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

The win is what matters. Really.

It's outside-the-box thinking such as this that makes everything all better. Good job!

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Getting Iowa off a loss would not be ideal

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Pat “let’s buyout underwood” Kelsey crowd oddly quiet the past few weeks. Unsure why

Wow, tuning in.

 

[EmpoweredIllini]

Always up for critiques. More so outlandish statements like “anyone still think underwood is a good coach now?!” Or “nothing ever changes with this guy!” “Tomi is spoiled and lazy”. Or really just any definitive statement about the season in a year long perspective is what I push back on.

There are some on here which make it VERY difficult to believe they actually want Illinois to do well.

19 pages of straight filth in the post game thread and then 3 posts in here and it’s like “sir what is with the smack talk, it’s not very nice “ haHa

Minnesota is trying really hard to help us avoid that scenario.

 

[Snoopy]

We live in a cruel world where fate has provided us an undefeated Indiana football team and an undefeated Nebraska basketball team into January. Grouchy Illinois fans feeling left behind are to be expected.

 

[Illini in Italy]

Those post game threads are awful sometimes

Let us have our day!

They’ve descended to the same level in Dante’s 7 (actually 9) circles of hell as the Game Threads.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Man, Minnesota collapsing worse than a huge snowstorm on the roof of the old Metrodome.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Iowa takes a 1 point lead with 1:13 to go.

 

[Illini in Italy]

And the Goofers completely the bed and give the Sqwaukeyes the lead with 1:13 left to go

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Yep. Thanks Minnesota for tiring them out and taking their luck for this game. Nvm my original post

EDIT: nvm the nvm. Minnesota back up

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

Minny goes up 4 after 2 free throws by Kevin McHale.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Iowa would lose this before deciding to get hot from three on Sunday.

 

[Navy_illini]

Iowa takes a 1 point lead with 1:13 to go.

That turned fast back to Minny

 

[From the cheap seats]

Apropos of nothing, the Gopher cheerleaders just led their crowd in a less-than-rousing cheer spelling out the entire name of the state. Can’t do that in a 30-second timeout.

Iowa says

 

[stlrunner]

Can Minnesota make enough FTs late to pull this off?

 

[Illini in Italy]

Minny holds on
