Northwestern at Illinois Game Thread... What?

That would be AMAZING! It would be nice to get a big lead early , but it is our main rival, so I know it's gonna most likely be intense most of the game.

Mich beats RU at Jersey, holds em to 45 points too

That should be it. Purdue will play for the Big Ten Title with a chance to clench against IU on Saturday. In case the game didn't mean enough already.

Well it doesn't mean much for Indiana. A loss doesn't move the needle. A win helps a lot but that isn't realistic to expect.

It was so crazy! Boo couldn't get much going in the 2nd on his own. Northwestern did have another run in them and I almost stopped watching at that point. They got up either 9 or 11 a second time , but that freshman HArris and Terrance Shannon JR. REALLY got illinois going!

Harris played phenomenal defense on Boo the last 10 minutes. You didn't see Epps in the game at all. I was a little surprised to see Hawkins in the whole time since he's useless on half the court, but he made a big defensive play at the end.

Also guarantee there will be much fewer a-hole fans in attendance than the previous game. 😎

Collins has replaced Tom Crean as the B10 coach teaching his players dirty tricks. Moving screens, locking hands for freethrows, clawing opponents arms.

Crean taught his player to put their face against a player's elbow and flop, and to punch themselves in the groin and blame the opponent. All to get a player ejected.

Collins and his players are obviously smarter than Crean and IU's players.
