ILLINI -1.5, over/under 142.5

Control Stirtz - Rebound by a decisive margin and control our T/O's, we win this one on the road. If we get homered and anyone else but Stirtz gets a career high, we lose by at least 8-10 pts.

Illini 88 - Iowa 77

Andrej S. with a big game against Iowa's team talent....18-6.

Free shots might be a concern

Andrej is a breakfast guy, Boswell just finds the ball more often than not, Mirk is playing well so far. The ILLINI start well for early time slot for once...they have a 3 minute lull where Iowa's concentration picked up, ILLINI in control and are a better afternoon team than morning team....going away with Boswell out of foul trouble on Stirtz.

Only 6 points scored by us in the final 7:34. Shot selection was not great during that time.

Listening in on while driving back south from a late family Christmas in IL. Sounds like we are just going to have a shootout this second half. Finish these fuckers!

Our GM (from Iowa, did undergrad at Iowa, PhD at Duke and still lives in Iowa City) was going to the game today and we’ve been talking some shit today.

Hook and Hold call was BS, 2 party in play there....the last travel was BS, that was almost called jump ball by the same ref that called it a travel.

Should be ILLINI ball.

A win is a win and it's a road win vs a ranked team.

I swear just when I think officiating can't get any worse, the last few minutes of today says hold my beer.

Z grabs a rebound, gets pushed in the back = travel
Hook and hold appealed with no clear and obvious evidence = foul on us
Z grabs another rebound and gets tied up going to the ground = travel

Fuck these refs straight to hell.

5 on 5 turned into 5 on 8 at the end and we still got the road W.
