Arkansas is flat out loaded this year. Athletically there will few teams that can match up with them. We are not one of them at all.
Fland will have to be neutralized by Boswell
Thierro will need to be neutralized by White (doubtful)
The rest of team even if the above happens could give us a smackdown. That said, IF we are hitting 3's and forcing the action at the rim...we may be able to get them in foul trouble. All athletes like to block shots right?
Unsung hero today for us Tomislav takes advantage inside against his brother and proves we got the better one. Rez bangs with the big boys and gets another double double.
IF that happens we win, BUT, I feel like we lose on another "neutral" court, both teams will have large fan bases however.
Arkansas 87 - ILLINI 84, chance to tie at the end with Kaspar turnover trying to force the ball downcourt too fast.
Hope I am wrong, with KoolAid glasses on we win 89-78. We will see.

Isn’t CBS included in basically every cable or satellite or streaming package?

Expecting a loss but wouldn't surprise me if they won.

Pretty much where I’m at.

Woosh

Commercials
-
Great start on both ends
-
I was remarking I have no idea who any of these players are despite watching most games last year, and that discussion led me to find out Coleman Hawkins is still in college but at Kansas State?
I’m really gonna have trouble staying engaged
-
Nice to see Jake Davis with a contribution
-
Thiero getting the MJ treatment. Another Arkansas storm is coming. Let's see if this young group can close it out.
-
Calipari and the refs tried but that's an Illini winner!
Eat shit, Scumbag Cal!
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
That was great!
-
We got the better Ivisic twin. ;)

Absolutely. Even when the rankings (because it was Cal getting him) say otherwise. Just goes to show you how those rankings are calculated sometimes…

This team is like Damir Krupalija, a slightly shorter Arch, and Jack Ingram lost 4 inches so learned how to play point.
At least that’s my guess because I have no idea who these orange assassins are!

Ive been saying you all are gonna like this years team. Im always aotc on hoops. Trust the source!
-
That was fun!

Mtn Time it is, pretty good Orange KoolAid guess on my part.

21 attempts vs 27 for the entire ILLINI team, take the win but DAMN?

Made only 12 of them. He had no answer for our free shot defense!
-
No way of knowing where the Razorback defense will rank later this year but shooting 53% and 48% from 3 won't help their pre-game #7 ranking much. Lol.
-
watched first 10 minutes, lost interest stopped watching
this new era of college basketball just aint fun, at least high major division 1.
i'll stick to the MVC

The people at HQ feel the same way?

PAMan would rather watch FT shooting. He once advocated scrapping the actual games and having FT shooting contests instead. First team to 100 wins. If both teams shoot below 77% they both lose.

Given the Illini woukd not win this contest, this is in error

Seems like quite a few fans of both bases wanted to see that run....ILLINI should have a few of these this year imo.
