Got them right where we want them

I’d be shocked if we don’t lose by 20+. They’re normally a bad matchup for us this year and with the lack of cohesion we’ve shown (to say the least)… woof.

We have a sell out tonight. Should be a great home crowd which will help carry us.

Probably lots of orange and who knows if the students will show. Probably too cold for them

There was a lot of orange - it was disappointing to see how many of my fellow STHs had sold their seats for this game. The I-L-L I-N-I chant was annoying as heck - just glad it only happened a couple of times during the game.

The students should not be denigrated, however. They filled their designated seating sections and were loud and high-energy, especially as we started to cut into the lead. The back-to-back three-pointers by their big man were killers.

Crowd/students were great last night. Place got loud esp after the technical on Illini bench.

Illinois just lost Boswell for a month. I think without him, we beat them last week. He will still be out when we play them next so hopefully we have a good shot to notch a road win against them.
