I honestly want to see us play our best game all year. I don't want this one to even be close. I want the last 7 minutes for us to play all 5 freshmen again with a little Latulip

I'd like to see a more systematic game than a thrashing. Obviously if we play fundamental basketball we will easily beat Northwestern

Only problem is that we don't have any shooters and we don't have a dominant scoring big. Hard to run too much of a system. We rely on ball screens and getting to the basket to score.

My 3 keys to the game:
1. Egwu comes ready to play. I want to see a double double out of him
2. We come out ticked off at the last game, we should be fired up
3. Get our swagger back against a weaker team, put the clamps down on D and run them out of the gym

I think Illinois wins by 12+...Illinois is going to take out some frustration carried over from Wisky! Ray Rice will go for 20+ !!

For sure..it would be nice to see a consistent game, with some balanced scoring! Would like to see Egwu play a good game 12pts 8reb, would be nice.

Yep Egwu plays hard all the time, right now it is in his head. Need him to get his confidence back and dominate the paint like he should.

I agree..we need his confidence especially considering the next week of games. We got a chance take atleast 2 of the 3

Simple. Keep it fast. Ray and Tracy take over and not much to this one. They don't hit many threes, so I guess make sure they don't have a special game from there. I don't see this one being anywhere near competitive
