Thursday FS1 announcers for Iowa-Illinois: Tim Brando and Stephen Bardo

Bardo has to be getting sick of watching this team

 

[Franisdaman]

Its 13th place Illinois hosting last place, 14th place Iowa.

Iowa is a 5.5 pt underdog

O/U is 154 pts (an 80-74 type game?)

ESPN gives Iowa just a 41% chance of winning

The State Farm Center seats 17,200

Yes what did Mr. Bardo do to get assigned to so many Iowa games? He was a good get on the BTN/Fox Sports roster of announcers. He's been plenty fair/positive toward Iowa over the years.

Minor nitpick, but we only sat 17,200 for one year when the upper sections were renovated and the lower ones hadn't had the luxury suites and new student seating put in. I think we are down around 15,500 now.

 

[HawkAttackDial911]

72-85 Illini.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Hard to remember the last time Iowa beat Illinois. I'm sure it wasn't that long ago, but it seems like the Hawks almost always stink against the Orange.

Gotta be. At least with Bardo there’s always a chance of a White Jesus reference

I predict he will not say the words "White Magic" tonight.

How much $$$ we talking?

Battle of the Titans. Barn burner. Can't wait.

LOL.....hmmm....

 

[Franisdaman]

Battle of the Titans. Barn burner. Can't wait.

Lord, sole possession of last place is at stake! I am still not 100% on watching this game live....

 

[Cydkar]

One of their best guards won't play. You will win...I bet on it.

Cook and Cook starting? I know there’s been some criticism of JB. But I’d have him at PG over Cook.

 

[Franisdaman]

Illini are #2 in the B1G in off rebounding and #2 in steals

 

[QChawks]

Illini are #2 in the B1G in off rebounding and #2 in steals

We’re doomed.

 

[Franisdaman]

We’re doomed.

LOL

Does not bode well when we turn the ball over a lot and don't like to rebound on defense
