Minnesota @ Illinois - Wow...

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Anyone watching? Minnesota has been killing it on the boards. I'm still not sold on Illinois, but a win @ the Fake Assembly Hall would be impressive for Minnesota. Just makes me even more excited for Saturday!

What do you guys think of the Gophers?

Very tough team. play hard and fast. Will pull up for a three with 30+ seconds left on shot clock. Hollins is a great guard and Mbakwe is a man proving a point this year. Illinois isn't as big as IU so Mbakwe will have his way. Illinois will go as far a Paul can take them!

Game probably could have been a lot worse. Illinois was embarrassingly bad from 3 point range tonight. 3-24 (12.5%). Yikes. Looks like a little perimeter D and the game is yours. Illinois is nothing special at all. They'll jack up threes like there's no tomorrow, whether they're going down or not, and certainly haven't been hitting them lately. I don't even know to explain their win over Ohio State other than it was at home and the fact that the Buckeyes simply can't beat anyone good. Minnesota was very good tonight and Saturday's game against them will be really tough. Gophers ain't no joke.
