how good are the Illini??

Good question. Maybe if they ever played a half-decent opponent on the road we'd have a chance to find out. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

The Cincy game is actually at a nuetral court in Vegas.

Ah, didn't know that. That'll be a tough game for them your boys then.

I'll be at the game. This is the same Cinci team that we absolutely humiliated on basically their home court in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. And oh by the way, we are a lot better now than we were then.

It's the key game for you though. I think we will definitely lose at Wisconsin and have very little chance of losing any other conference game in January. If Cinci wins, you have a great shot and are a big favorite. If you need us to lose twice against that January schedule, you are screwed.

[MarkL444]

any chance i can get some action on the MSU game?

[Clarkmeister]

Let's talk then.

Illini will own the Kohl Center

[Cubswin]

We are on GoT... should i just send you my preferred payment method now? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[Clarkmeister]

Braggin' Rights game tonight on the Deuce. For those who don't know, this is a big time bitter rivalry and I'd love nothing more than to see Bruce run it up on Misery to make it 5 in a row in this series.

[bugstud]

um, Longwood?

not good, folks...not good at all
