Illini -9.5
- Thread starter Skunkpilot
- Start date
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.
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.
