This time to unranked MO. I think Iowa will beat them by double digits.
IL loses again
- Thread starter wbrhawkeye
- Start date
Anything is possible. Long ways away.btw I'm sure we'll lose a couple games we "shouldnt"
I'm going to pump the breaks on that prediction. It's a long season and Illinois is still a very talented team.
Kentucky lost as well; at home, again. To unranked Notre Dame. 1-4 on the year now, with 2 home losses.
This is Christmas come early!

I think Missouri is pretty good. Not sure I would look too much into them being unranked at this point.
Illinois is still a physical team and will be allowed to play as such against Iowa.
We need to continue to improve on attacking the rim and not settle for so many quick outside shots (when the drive is there).
Drawing fouls is a big part of our offense.....but you can't get to the FT line if you shy away from contact on the dribble drive.......or jack up a rushed 3 after one pass into the possession.
Just sayin.

Horribly officiated game. No consistency Ticky tack Cal’s in the post. And the flagrant 1 on cockburn at the end to seal idly for Missouri was awful. Should have been a foul on the Missouri player for hitting himself in the face.
Welp.......on the plus side we won't have to worry about them passing Iowa in the Top 25 after their win at Duke.
Illinois has NO ONE who can stop Garza/Nunge. Cockburn will likely have 3 fouls in the first-half. CJ can contain DeSumo to 15-18 points. They will score on Iowa but they won't be able to stop our offense. Their defense is not better than North Carolina's.
Don’t get too carried away with joy. Every time a blue blood loses at home, Covid becomes more dangerous to college players.
I think Ayo's 36 points was the worst 36 points I've ever seen. The dude just dribbled at the top of the key, didn't find any wide open players, missed key free throws, and had untimely turnovers. That team needs a real leader and I don't think Ayo is it. Any NPOY talk is nonsense.
I will say, their freshman PG Curbello seems to be the goods. He is a true creator and spark when he's in the game. Not looking forward to playing him in the coming years
