Iowa Will Beat Illinois

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Rumor is that he has been talking with Texas. Many Illini fans believe that is why he has looked checked out for the last 4-5 games.

I'm telling you...that program is in shambles right now. Ripe for the plucking. If we can come in and hit our first few shots and stay aggressive, they will fold just like they did against Northwestern, Nebraska, Rutgers, USC, Maryland, Michigan State (x2), Wisconsin, and Duke.

Go Hawks!!

Stop trying to f***ing jinx us so that we lose to Illinois.

We all want Fran gone. We don't need to f***ing talk losing to Illinois and their f***ing fanbase into existence to make that happen. Fran is gone after the season. Just let it happen and stop cheering for losses.

Thank you.

Illini have talent.
Last mock draft I saw today has jaspar going #5,Riley going #18 and Ivicic going 2nd round.

Maybe those guys are looking toward the NBA at this point and losing focus on the college season?

Underwood will re-load next year..but the chemistry deal might be elusive with this approach.
Btw...every mock I saw has 3 duke guys in top 9.
They should win it this year.

Do you think your use of f***ing repeatedly makes you a better poster?

Iowa is 3-16 at Illinois the last 25 years. I don't expect tomorrow to be win #4. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

This is the correct answer

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

This is the correct answer

Past performance is not the most reliable predictor of future results. Current facts are more reliable. Iowa is a better team than Illinois right now.

This is the correct answer

Nazi!!!!!

I kid, I kid

Welp... we'll all see in a few hours but I know this -- this Iowa team will not roll over. This Illinois team has rolled over all season.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Maybe sickness has spread in the Illannoy lockerroom.

That program is chaos right now lmao:

 

[BirdistheWord]

Look at their roster. Euro guys who don't know Iowa from Belgium, and couldn't give a squirt of piss about some regional Midwest rivalry. Mercs who played at Arizona, Notre Dame, and some DII school in Indiana.... who don't know and couldn't care about this rivalry.

This team has been soundly whooped by double digits in their last 3 straight games, and Duke embarrassed them worse than they've ever been embarrassed in their 110+ year history, and did it in prime time at the most famous sports venue in the country.

There's blood in the water, boys. This Illinois team is set to get shredded.

They.

Are.

Done.

We are the perfect anecdote for struggling teams. 3 point shooting woes? We got you. How about 50% from beyond the arc?

Thanks Stephen “uncle Rico” Bardo

Guarantee threads are always fun to revisit. So...you know....thanks for giving us something to look forward to regardless of the outcome.

There's no "guarantee." Iowa could lose this game. I just think we're going into a situation where there is blood in the water, and we are the better TEAM.

We'll all find out in about 90 minutes.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Illinois is going to put 90 pts on Iowa. Prepare yourself for an enema

 

[83Hawk]

Fans thought Rutgers would roll over the Hawks……..

 

[BrewHawk]

Illinois is totally broken. They're done.

They won't win another game this year.

Good golly! I watched some of the second half of that Duke game....

From the players, to the head coach, to the staff, to the team managers, ...that is a team that has completely given up.

That $3M dollar roster just bought them the worst loss in the entire history of their program.

We're going to win.

Uhhh...

I can't believe anyone truly thought this Iowa team would win at Illinois. Many better teams have failed. This Iowa team would probably lose to Drake and UNI if they played tonight.

Iowa > Illinois, regardless of how many times Illinois beats us in basketball.

No Illinois fans are allowed to troll on this board, so I kindly ask that you......

 

[BirdistheWord]

Keep going….😉

3-14 from 3 in first half? No sweat, you will get red hot after half. You can always take it to the rim too, we have shot blockers like Kingsbury and Dembele.

Remember when Fran cried after beating Rutgers

watching Iowa makes me tear up too

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

No, Illinois fan.

Wow. This thread didn't age well. If Illinois is "broken" what does that make Iowa....I found it funny when Hummell was saying "if only we had Freeman". Its not like we were in the top half of the league when he was playing...

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

Ok.

I didn't know WTF I was talking about about. First half was promising. Then again, so was the first half at Maryland.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Only lost by 20, progress
Hope to keep the Top 25 rating for heart and effort

 

[HawkLogic]

WTF was OP thinking.

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

WTF was OP thinking.

Well...Illinois is not that good. They'll be an 8 or 9 seed.

Not just tonight. They would lose 7 out of 10 times to Drake. Soft and undisciplined.

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

Not just tonight. They would lose 7 out of 10 times to Drake. Soft and undisciplined.

I think we out rebounded Illinois who, until the Duke game, was still the #1 rebounding team in the country.

Soft teams don't do that.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

illanoy isn't very good. And they are struggling. This is about Iowa and how bad they are. A win at home over a truly awful washington team didn't suddenly change that.

 

[Hawkeye_4_Life]

Well...Illinois is not that good. They'll be an 8 or 9 seed.

And we won’t even be an 8 or 9 seed in our own conference tourney. That’s even IF we make the conference tourney.
