If they shoot any thing close to what I watched earlier this year they will run away with the game. Illini by 20

This has potential to be a close last basket wins type of a game if Gates can get his core players in a groove. In the only other P4 games he started with roster A then finished with roster B. He searched from start to finish on five players who could play together. We need to get that figured out early.

I'll predict Illinois 86 Mizzou 78. Closer game that most of us probably think it will be, but Mizzou's porous defense can't bring home the win.

Until someone besides Mitchell, Ant, and Crews decides to step up they will struggle, Illinois by 15.

They’re very…. Eastern European.

If Stone plays, is he rusty or dos he instantly spark us?

I honestly have no idea on this one. A ranked win would be big going into conference play.

If we’re lucky. We haven’t exactly shined in the 2 big boy games we’ve played. Our ”shooters” can’t find their own butts with a map and a flashlight.

Sundvold said during the last game that Stone would be back for this game. We shall see. He is definitely needed.

I'm sure if Sundvold said he wasn't going to play, then you wouldn't doubt it and being dancing a jig.
