Re: Illinois game thread.

Whats the scoop on the Illini? to lazy here to check out their website. Any chance we play poorly in a let down game after a tough battle with maryland? hopefully its not the case.

I stand corrected. 6:00 pm is the start time for the Montana game on Friday. Thanks
for setting me straight.

Re: Illinois game thread.

the Illini lost to Montana in overtime last night. Sounds like they have three, three year letterwinners returning from a team that lost in the Big Ten tourney final last year. They beat Missouri by ten last week, beat IPFW by twenty to start the season and beat Eastern Ill by four after the IPFW game. Besides the loss to Missouri they have also lost to Temple by double digits.
They have nine girls playing the tallest being 6'3 x 2. One is a freshman (F) and the other a junior(C). Three junior, one senior, five freshman, and one redshirt freshman Their guards are all freshman, one senior forward and two junior forwards and the last is a freshman. One junior center.

One of them is the day after the MLB all-star game. July 5th I think it usually is.

Re: Illinois game thread.

The day before and after the baseball allstar game.
