What’s our record the last 12 seasons or so. Ungood, I’ll bet. Time to turn that around.

Up tempo predominant guard play from both squads.

This game will not be an easy one for the ILLINI, Missouri has a lot of experience as well, albeit their one PG looks like he goes to Dunkin Donuts every morning.

Prediction Illini 83-Missouri 74

It looks like Domask and Guerrier have brought a lot of IQ.

Mizzurah is 1-17 from 3.
We're shooting 50% and 37% from 3.
4 turnovers and outrebounding Mizzurah by 7.

LOL. It was terrible matchcup for Mizzou. They can't rebound. We rebound.
They rely on the three. We stay home pretty well on the three.
They are not good. We are pretty good.

Their only hope was their pressure would work and we we would be ice cold, and they would somehow be hot from three.

We executed well, rebounded, shot well and the ball movement was good by the whole team.
If we get scoring from people besides TSj we can be pretty good.

We are pretty good lol. You think.

Based upon what we have seen in the BT so far we should finish second. We are ahead of MSU and OSU and Wisconsin. That should translate into a 3/4 seed depending on how many road wins we pick up. 
If we develop consistent scoring options besides TSj, and split with Purdue and go 15-5 in BT we have chance at a 2 seed. It is very doable.
Should have good shot at a S16 no matter what. The defense and rebounding have become impressive.
TSj is having an amazing year. Keep it going.
