Minnesota vs. Illinois - Game Thread

Illinois is killing Minnesota 38-22 at half... 7/13 from three.

Looks like Illinois will be well rested for the game with Iowa.

Yeah, nothing like a nice and easy warm up game for Illinois to get use to the tournaments and the arena.

Minny should have forfeited and stayed home. They are down to, what, 8 scholarship players now?

That's what I'm thinking.

They got Eiffel towered by the Fighting Illini.

So, what does pitino have to do to keep his job next year after the dumpster fire that was minny b-ball this year? NCAA tourney appearance at a minimum?

We're doomed

I haven't really followed the sex tape controversy and whether these players are just suspended for this year. Minny had some bright prospects going forward, with Murphy and their young guards, but if those guards, especially Mason, are gone, Pitino is going to have a hard time doing much next year. Kind of interesting that issues around sex seem to follow the Pitino family...

Actually I think it's six. And Im pretty sure outside Buggs none of them even really played.

Minnesota has a good recruiting class coming in. Was Mason in the tape? If he was, all 3 of those guys are probably gone so Pitino has a lot of work to go. It's sort of too bad because his team was coming together.

*should be gone but most certainly won't!
