Illini favored by 4
LETS FUCKING GO
Get this win to keep our momentum up during this January stretch with lots of winnable games!
-
Prime Q1 opportunity here. Need this with our FAU win not looking as impressive now.
Izzo will have his boys ready to play. I expect to see a pissed off MSU team tonight after the ass chewing he gave them following their beat down at the hands of Northwestern. Have to come out and match their energy.
-
At Murphy's. Heard the guys next to us discussing Washington, Illinois and singing along with Freebird.

I used to work there 20+ years ago, wonder how much has changed, hopefully not much
-
ICON beer they sell at SFC is awful
-
PAMan is in attendance which means we’ll suffer an excruciating loss then he’ll come on here and call for Whitman and Underwood’s heads and first borns and curse the university
-
Maryland and Michigan putting on a masterclass on how to play losing basketball
-
Nice to see TR with those drives to the hoop.
-
Beauty of a pass from Domask to Dain

The fake handoff to Quincy then driving it home for the dunk was some big brain shit

Was that Ty Rodgers or Michael Jordan?
-
Damn good job crashing the boards by Hawkins
-
Rough night for Domask thus far
-
I love how this team is so unselfish and actually a team. Smart players with high basketball IQ. It’s refreshing!
-
Big game for Rodgers so far!
-
Ty Rodgers is Ben Simmons-ish lol
-
Rough night for Domask thus far
Gotta get him going.
-
Sparty heating up
-
Love it!
-
Gotta get him going.
Maybe finally seeing one go through the hoop will spark him

Good swing by the boys .
-
Be nice if we can grab a damn rebound
-
MSU should be very happy, the ILLINI should be just has happy so far.
MSU...started cold, fought back, cut the lead to single digits.
ILLINI...had a big lead, lost it, without Domask having a good game at all so far.
MSU guards have played about as expected with exception of Hoggard missing 3 bunnies.
ILLINI overall leaders B1G 3 Domask/Hawkins/Guerrier all have sub par first half play.
MSU guards may not play much better in the 2nd half, our B1G 3 most certainly will play much better. Goode should be doing some post up, Rodgers must keep taking advantage of a big guarding him.
Decent game so far with exception of about 2 minutes of garbage play around the 10 minute mark by both teams.
-

That bad rebounding will kill you eventually against the izzos.
And 3-12 on 3s.
-
We're up 7 (8-9) on free shots. I'm sure Izzo will remind the refs that they only had 2 shots.

20 to 20 right now on rebounds what will kill us is if our big 3 don't get going. Take it to the hole and draw fouls at home.
-
We better get it together quickly!
-
We’re all kinds of discombobulated right now
-
Nice answer after 8 down
-
Game of runs. Sparty probably has one more in them. Need to finish.

And got it going again and need to keep the foot on the pedal. Hawkins doing good things all around tonight.
-
Gotta block out and eliminate these 2nd chances. Jeez.
-
Why allow them to not pick up the ball until it crosses the time line?
-
We survive! Fuck yes!
-
Domask with 15 pts, 6 boards and 5 assists and had a tough game on offense.
Sparty played some defense.
-
Tough game god I hate b1g hackerball
-
18-22 vs 5-7 on free shots. And that's 4 in a row vs Izzo.

Can be nerve wracking. Finished the game on 29-18 run after being down 8.

Always good to see that low life on the losing end.
-
B1G 3-4 for us played just well enough, Goode played a tough nosed game, although he seems to fall to the ground alot when chasing loose balls, either way good tough game from him.
MSU will be a lot like our fanbase after a loss, they do have a legit beef however....fouls were way lopsided in our favor over them. Both teams were aggressive on the boards, many could have went either way. Ugly rough game, 14 more attempts for MSU than us. We do need to rebound and secure better.
Take the win in rough B1G conference, good chance we move up in rankings, and also good chance we can win the next 5 upcoming.
-
Had a feeling this one was going to be tough and it was. Sparty guarded hard and had a solid defensive scheme to make things tough on us. Damn glad we hung on.
-
Waiting for my heart rate to drop. I will take the win
Hawkins made me drink tonight
-
We went the last 5:30 without a made FG. Thank god our free shot percentage has improved.
-
Our 3pt specialist can’t make a free throw?

Can't have that kind of drought in future games, could be costly.
Problems of standing around and watch as 1 guy dribbles, not enough movement and cutting to the hoop.

We missed a few layups and there was a lot of settling as Raftery put it.

Agree on missing too many layups and a lot of settling. I try blocking out the annoying Raftery.
-
Guys were gassed and Goode didn’t give us much down the stretch. Guerrier had a wide tf open three to basically ice it and missed badly.
-
18-22 vs 5-7 on free shots. And that's 4 in a row vs Izzo.
Izzo is 1-4 in conference for the first time ever. And we're the ones who put him there. 8)
-
Just finished the game. Great win.
Free throws have been clutch well apart from Goode at the end. It's like they started practicing free throws in practice.

Goode had a nice floor game but he was bricking shots all night.
MSU guards hard.
-
Somehow brought home a victory. Walker looked really good for MSU. Didn't seem like anyone could guard him. He blew by some guys.
Saw some kid in a Moretti jersey and wondered if Nichi had that Benjamin Buttons Disease.

Yeah our rotation was a whole 6 deep tonight 7 if you include dainjas brief showing

Did he say anything I should know about ?
The volume button can be your friend.

It was a fun game to watch.
MSU looks like a dangerous team.
-
Sparty came in to try to avoid 0-2 vs the state of Illinois. They rebounded, they played hard and tried to take Domask out of his game. They were pretty much successful but we got to the line and made our free shots and played a little defense ourselves. Hoggard had a tough night shooting.
Too bad.

Just many, many years of his annoying crap and goofy noises. He's no Robbie Hummel.

Izzo's teams usually become so much tougher as a season progresses.

Well if you muted it it's not like you missed any crowd noise. Very disappointed in the paman and Co last night.

Yeah, noticed a lot of empty seats. Any idea? I know weather was decent yesterday.

Nah, I didn't mute it. The volume was low enough to generally not hear what Brando and Raftery were saying, but I thought the crowd was pretty good for the most part.
We 'll see what ThePAMan says.
-

I would bet a lot of people bailed because they didn't want to risk driving back in a heavyish snow if this front hit early. Outbound was packed at 4 yesterday because the city half shut down today in advance.

The announcers commented that is was a good crowd despite the students still being on break.
-
Was not a boisterous crowd.
-
Thought we were going to give the game away but we're a tough team to beat down the stretch. I love it.
How about the alley oop dunk by Carr. Holy shit that was sweet. He's going to be a beast in a year or two.

yeah Carr has some pretty impressive hops for sure

Aside from a couple of plays, it was not a pair of dynamic offenses...shocking, I know.
-

Yeah they’ll probably turn it around and be in the 7-10 seed range and be a team no one wants to see in their bracket come tourney time.
