February 18, 200422 yr Man, it seems like every game is the biggest game of the season, but here we go again. We gotta win this game, if we dont, the big 10 season championship will be out of reach, 2 games is too big of a deficit with so few games remaining. This time around we gotta stop devin harris, i think Deron should cover him the way he's been playing, and Wilkinson down low has to be forced out of the box. He was getting great position on Augustine in the game up in Madison... This is a monster game, and with only one more home game remaining, we got to take this! By the way, Mac, Jurko, and Harry are at Legends live on 1000 down in Champaign right now for any students there... Illinois 68 Wiscy 59 Im feeling good about this one! No close game on my prediction this time. GO ILLINI!
February 18, 200422 yr i think this game will be close. but being an illini fan i think they'll pull out the upset. what's wisconsin's rank in the polls, last i saw they were like 14th i believe. haven't checked this week's polls though.
February 19, 200422 yr im not to sure the illini will win big here. If they win it will be a close one but i think wisconson has the upper hand
February 19, 200422 yr ILL-INI! I HOPE WE WIN!!!!!! IF WE DO I THINK ILLINOIS WE'LL STILL HAVE A TOUGH ROAD TO THE TITLE BUT THIS IS A HUGE GAME.
February 19, 200422 yr I AGREE I TURNED IT ON AND AT FIRST I COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS.
February 19, 200422 yr I hope Wisconsin wins, as that was the my alma mater. But they often play inconsistent on the road and the loss of Olando Tucker will hurt against Illinois. That being said, hopefully Harris and Wilkinson can come up big. hehe Not used to being on the other side of the fence on this board, but what are you gonna do. SB
February 19, 200422 yr I wonder if they can change unis at half. It probably isn't as bad on the floor, but my God, I can't tell them apart. I have to wait for the players reactions before I know who grabbed a rebound.
February 19, 200422 yr Wisconsin's played the better game in the first half. Forcing more turnovers, shooting better. Illini had a nice little run to finish out the half and FINALLY take the lead.

February 19, 200422 yr Author good, hopefully they can keep it. is dee and derron playing well tonite? Deron is playing solid ball (12 points on 5-10 shooting) as usual of late, Dee hasnt really got too many shots off but did nail one from about 5 feet behind the 3 point line with 3 on shot clock. Man, that is tough watching this game, i keep thinking we got a rebound, when Wisconsin was getting all of those offensive rebounds. Maybe we should have worn the white home jerseys tonight, but then we would lose the orange feeling... GO ILLINI!

February 19, 200422 yr so we're wearing our orange unis and of course they are wearing their red and WCIU quite possibly has the lowest quality ever, you can't even read what Wisconsin's ranking in the little scoreboard window, it's too blurry.
February 19, 200422 yr and WCIU quite possibly has the lowest quality ever, you can't even read what Wisconsin's ranking in the little scoreboard window, it's too blurry. is wciu based out of chicago? if i were home i would have a choice between cbs out of champaign or upn out of springfield so i would have the luxury of choosing best quality. its a shame u guys don't have that choice.

If you guys win this, I won't be surprised at all. It's hard to coin it as an upset when you're at home during conference play. Look at NC State. They beat Duke at home this weekend, and they just lost at Clemson tonight.

They beat Duke at home this weekend, and they just lost at Clemson tonight. good point. especially with illini's home record. i was just basing it on unranked v. ranked tho.
