Garza reminds me of the centers Purdue used to trot out every season in my youth

Who can forget Mr. Muscle Beach, Jim Rowinski

#24 looks like Obummer. I can't unsee it. And now you can't either, reader at home.

I am a huge IU fan, but Illinois just got screwed on 2 straight calls in this game.

Someone needs to tell Miller his hair looks awful.

Good win.

I also cashed a nice bet on Purdue +3.5 (!!!). Boiler Up!

The officials were horrible, especially in the second half.

I think Baylor is the team to beat, tougher schedule than the zags.

I seen them both early and I still haven't seen anybody better since.

They looked really good today. I heard them say Wisconsin hasn't lost in Assembly Hall since 2011.

They showed on one of the pre game shows that they currently have 5 Big 10 teams in the top 16 teams in the tourney

They showed states late in the game and Wisconsin was getting outrebounded 46-17, I thought there was an error. How in the hell can you only get 17 damn rebounds, Wisconsin better find some toughness quickly.

I caught a bunch of the game early. The Illini looked solid.

Hawaii (fuck) You

You got Illini as the best in the conf?

I thought for sure they were going to lose that game at Nebraska last night. Ayo really saved them with a great second half.

I wish the Tournament started tomorrow. I don't think the Illini can be better than they are right now.

Alright, about time.. Final four?

I think the tournament is wide open this year. I'm expecting lots of early upsets

Illinois and Michigan are likely a 1 or 2 seed, Ohio State as well. Tough conference.

_________________

Last 3 games of the year will put them up against Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State in an 8 day stretch going into the Big Ten tournament, all on the road. I think that will show/tell us a lot.

Sorry for some reason just saw this.

I do not have them as the best in the conf right now.

The 2 best teams played yesterday in a great game

Frazier and Miller have to hitting shots and Curbelo has to avoid turnovers. Da'Monte has got to avoid those two-point games as well. As T-Bone said, they have a difficult final three games, so we'll see, but this is a different team than it was two months ago.

Nice feature about Underwood in the Tribune yesterday.

Did it mention the FBI?

How's Safety U down on I-65 doing this year?

About as well as the Illini.

I'm going to bump the real Illini basketball thread to say bad game tonight.

Very disappointing; they played down to their competition.
