7:30 start
Let's be honest we shoudl win by 18+
If we don't i'll view it as a failure.
I'm gonna try to stay away form the protein powder tomorrow so I can fully commit myself to the game instead of having to run to the restroom with my gas issues
i think the protein powder caused it
i didnt have any issues this weekend and i didnt take any
but i had a bad one earlier and i had oatmeal for breakfast soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
Postponed. Minny has some corvid issues.
-
I was going to predict a 50-point victory, but that will have to wait.
Cue all the rabid fans!
-
More time to prep for the game Sat vs tSUNJ.
NU squeezed their postponed game in right before they played Sven's team, which made the Sven's team game the 4th game in 8 days for NU.
So I'm guessing a Feb 28 reschedule for the game vs the gofs, which would make our following game vs Sven's team our 4th game in 7 days.
-
Minnesota should have to forfeit.

Rescheduled for Feb 20th. So 4 games in 9 days.

That works. It's probably the best we could ask for.
-
Personally I think they should have rescheduled the game for March 1st.

March 1st is a Wed. We don't do hoops on Wednesdays. I hear there were discussions about a March 2 double header with the game vs the gofs tipping off at 11am or high noon. Would that have worked for ya ?
-
During the time this game would have been played, Nichi is going to polish and paint his entire set of World War I action figures. Even the French and their taxi cabs.

A great game to watch instead

That tournament was insane. Like a bunch of NBA teams. And we ended up with the nastiest draw.
-
An Elite Eight game with 11 NBAers.
-
Isn't there a game tonight? Where is the game thread? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

There is. 8pm on the BTN.
Connor Onion and Brian Butch with the call.

Illinois by 25. Potentially the last W of the season.

IVMP = Dominic is a match?

Minnesota is the 2nd worst Big 10 team in the last 20+ years of Kenpom ratings. They currently rank #222. Rutgers in 2015–16 was the only worse team at #279.
Suffice to say, if Illinois loses tonight, you fire Underwood immediately.
-
Squeaky's last few hours here.
-
Minny is not quite as bad with Garcia.
-
Terrence Shannon Jr. is OUT for tonight's game against Minnesota.

Back in my day, we played through concussions. A little TBI never slowed us down. Made a real man outaya. /s
-
Melendez gets the start. Not sure what to think about that. Hope the kid can get ANYTHING to drop.
-
Why is Melendez starting
-
Underwood is stubborn, and we'll need him sooner or later.
Hopefully shots start falling
-

It’s Minnesota. Lieb could play 40 minutes it wouldn’t matter.
-
Christ this team is terrible. Might as well have signed Pitino Junior to a lifetime deal.
-

And Dawson Garcia is definitely not as good as advertised and very much an overrated player.
He definitely didn’t help his cause transferring to Minnesota.
-

Minnesota went woke. And got broke.
-
Dain Dainja sounds better than Dane Jackson. Good job Baba Dainja.
-
Harris is terrible
-
Ola Joseph having a career night?
-
Harris is terrible
He’s just raw. A lot of room to grow offensively, but very good defender.
-
It's like the staff forgot to tell the players to show up for a game tonight.
-
3-11 from 3. Hawkins leading the way with 5 shots from 3.
6-12 at the free shot line.
-
Gophers still hanging around
-
RJ knocks down a three! This is not a drill.
-
Zero bench points?
-
Rj going gangster on these golden ground rodents
-
RJM needs 3 for a double double. Maybe that would get him going for the rest of the year.
-
Please let this be the start of RJ's turnaround. We're gonna need him big time going forward.

Probably knew that 18 wins would exceed Dom's prediction.

Lmao

NU up next. Thur 8pm on the BTN.
-
Gophers are pesky as fuck tonight.
We needed this one style points be damned.
-
See ya Squeaky.
-
Gophers played well.
-
Harris is terrible
Not really. Reminds me of a Fr Luther Head. No, I'm not predicting he will be that good, but he's athletic, can defend, and is instant energy off the bench. Something this team sorely lacks, often.
-
Harris is terrible
This couldn't be further from the truth. Harris brings the energy and that dawg mentality on D. He sparked the UCLA comeback harrassing their back court. He doesn't need to drop 20 PPG to be a factor.
-
Feels like the last win of the season. Hawkins shooting 8 threes is another fireable offense
-
Gophers played well.
😂 what a shocker. You claim to have watched this game, but no comments on the losses to IU and Penn State.
Well by going by that standard, not many comments left for you till next year.
Adios. Enjoy your 2 star government run nursing home you old socialist parasite

Feels like you need to leave the board.

If I leave this board, it dies. I’ll decide when I hate this place enough to in fact kill it by my departure.
And please show me where I said I’d leave the board if Illinois won 18 games. I never made any bet of the sort.
And hilarious all the geeks that wanted Weber fired over seasons like 2022-23 all love Underwood for it. Lot of losers in the Illini fanbase. Not surprising they are all democrats too.

You're too big of pussy to take and honor a bet.

I bet PMan IL would beat NW. They won like 42-0. He never left after making a post they’d lose and me calling him out on it.
I said 8-12 in the Big 10 before the schedule was even made. IL is gonna finish at BEST 10-10. Exclusively due to the easiness of the schedule. I’d say that’s another win on my part.
People running their mouth on here before the season how great Skyy Clark was, how great Mayer/Shannon were. How they’d be better without Kofi. Well I said they’d still suck even with those guys.
I was right. Don’t let the easy schedule fool you

Pussy.
-
style points be damned.
Disagree. I'm not sure 26 shots from 3 should have been in the playbook. And I know hitting 7 of 15 in the 2nd half wasn't.
Brian Butch, did some pre-game homework, was talking about our bad shot selection on 3s. We didn't disappoint him. Fortunately, Epps was 4-6 and Hawkins was 3-8.

Hilarious. Put the video back up Squeaky. Even better, make another video where you have the sweats.

What a delusional wack job you are. Why'd you take the video down? Tired of everyone laughing their ass off at you? You are my beeyotch.
-
This place is more enjoyable with Tweedledee and Tweedledum on ignore.
The only flaws are I can see their mindless drivel when someone quotes it and they can still see my content.
-
I actually went to the game last night. Tough watch. First half was brutal.
Watching Dainja shoot free shots is painful. A Big 10 team shooting 50% from the line is just fucked up.
Felt to me like once RJ starting pulling down some boards, he settled in and got comfortable. Hopefully that carries over.
Minnesota is so bad. They would be middle to bottom in the Valley, lol.

Dumassanic: Go on, get your ass outta here you pile of shit.

You have no content. Zero. You bring nothing to this board.

You bring pedophilia and a squeaky voice… what else?!
-
Fortunately, Epps was 4-6 and Hawkins was 3-8.
Reversion to the norm? Especially for Epps.
Mayer took a couple ugly threes that missed badly, but he does that, and shoots 36% for the season.
-

Everyone hates you here.
You're probably too big of pussy to take this bet, but how about 20 or more wins and you're gone. Under 20 wins, I'm gone
-

Smallest wallet.

Nichi thinks they played well.

Gophers played well.

*The overrated Garcia was clearly not 100%, but managed tp play 30 minutes with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals with no TO.
*Battle played 39 minutes, had 31 points; shot 7-11 from 2, 4-9 from 3, 5-5 on throws.
*Cooper had a terrible night shooting, but had 6 assists.
*Ola Joseph has improved quite a bit.
*They attacked the basket, drew 18 fouls.
*They shot 53% from 2; 35% from 3.
*Rebounds were close. they had 33 to our 37.
*We struggled to get good looks against their half court defense
That was a decent road effort from a bad team.
-
I love it when Nichi doubles (and triples) down in response to IMVP's provocations.

Where were all these breakdowns the last 2 games vs Indiana and Penn State? Was your cable out again? Hilarious how you manage to miss every game Illinois gets blown out in

Battle got 22 of his 31 in the 2nd half, when the game was largely decided.
Reminded me of Malcolm Hill. Garbage time warrior.

Battle is the one player seems every game that gets his "career high", Underwood, has had several against him, can't seem to adjust?
Garbage time or not 31 in B1G play is something that BU should be able to game plan and stop?
Recent ones-Perkins-McCaffrey (high 3's made), McConnel I think from Rutgers(?), Pickett recently, T-Jackson, and on and on I am sure....sucks everytime we have to witness it.

And now Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gets his against us....this is a joke.
