Illinois is tough, nasty, we got a brawl on Sunday......Lets ****ing Go Hawks!!
- Thread starter Chishawk1425

I'd like to see Joe T, CJ, and Weezy drive to the basket multiple times and get the bigs in foul trouble. Employ the 3/4 court press, and launch OPEN 3's. I believe Garza will get mugged pretty good, but he's tough. Joe T will guard Dosunmu, but we also have to watch Bashanaswheely and Cokeburn.

Well we've only played two of those teams and we won both so.....
I'd like to see our 3Pt shooting improve a little, starting with this game.
We're currently #98 (169-482) 35.1% nationally. We're at 37% over the last 5 games.
Illini are currently #294 (113-366) 30.9% nationally. They're at 30.4% over their last 5 games.
I'm hoping we come out hot from 3. The crowd should help us as well. I believe that we can do this. If Joe T can defend Dosunmu without picking up fouls, and the team can defend their 3Pt opportunities, then hopefully they don't leave CHA with a new career high for 3's on us.

I have not seen to much of the Illiniwhiny, but what I have seen simply does not scare me. Dosumu is a decent player and Cockburn is big and athletic for his size, but honestly if our, offense does what it normally does I don't think they have the ability to keep up. They are in first, but I believe they will fade in these next 5 games. But, even a blind Squirrel finds a nut.....so they could prove me wrong.
Brad Underwood has never beaten a Fran coached team.
That won't change tomorrow.

Two really good teams, Should be a fun game. The Illini look very good this year.
I hope you’re right but I don’t like our chances tomorrow.
Did somebody post that the spread was only 1 1/2? I thought it would be around 4.
But who knows, I was wrong with my gut feeling against Rut & Wis (only thought we’d lose that game after we beat Rut).
Iowa -41/2 to -5. 67% chance of winning.
Raptor your prediction was just about on point as usual! Cheers! Still confident we will complete sweep in Champaign?

I do think we win in Champaign as well.
You have to pick your poison with Iowa — either try to stop the three or try to limit Garza. Honestly... they don’t match up well enough to do either for an entire game. Fredrick just shredded their highly acclaimed back court. It was beautiful.
