Alright, Alright, Alright.....time for B1G boy basketball.....long hard road to get back here. Time to show the naysayers, the doubters, ALL the forgetabouter's what ILLINI ball is all about. 30-0 B.S. be gone, monkey on the back jump the F**K off.
We gotta rebound, we gotta smack them in the chops first, second and last!!! 5 guys in double digits, not 2 like last time we met!! No lazy starts.
Defend like we've been doing, no letdown, no nerves, no bellyflops, and take care of the pill.
Keys:
Get Reed in trouble, Reibe will spell him, but that kid ain't asian so he can't get them a win....
Karaban....locate at all times....nothing easy, smack him down Humrichous/Stoyakovic
Ball can't be allowed to Ball out, find him, limit him, deflate that shit!!
ILLINI just has to do what they've been doin....raise the previous matchup FG % by 5% (37%) and the 3pt% by say 12-15% (36%) with choice shots...block 4-5 shots...and we get one more revenge on this Bout Damn Time Tour!!!
Early line is -1.5 ILLINI with an over of 139.5, if the ILLINI continue their defensive run as of late....that will be a hard one to bet.
End of Day for UCONN and Surly Hurley....Illini 76 - UCONN 71 Natty Game up Next
