Busting Knee Caps
Two games into the tough stretch for the Illini and the team has met the challenge so far.
Last night's game at Wisconsin was amazing. This team keeps achieving the incredible and makes it look so easy. Any other team probably would have folded last night under the Wisconsin pressure. Illini took the punch to the mouth and then took out their own brass knuckles.
Wisconsin really did what they needed to. Alondo Tucker posting up. Wilkinson playing tough. Illiniois just showed that they have a superior fight this year. Jack Ingram is blowing me away....I wish someone would blow Nick Smith away, the kid is just a train wreck for being seven feet tall. Do I really want to watch him take 10-ft jumpers?? Hell no! Take the ball to the hoop rat-faced man!
Anyway, cheers to the Badgers and their 38 game home win streak. I did toast a shot to them out of my Bucky Badger shot glass last night. Anyway, the record was good...but not as good as Illinois being 70-3 in the past five years in Champaign.
No one will beat Illinois at home this year. I feel sorry for Minnesota on Saturday, when 300 alumni will come to Assembly Hall to celebrate 100 years of Illini basketball. Three big tests remain: at Michigan State on Feb. 1st, at Michigan Feb. 8th, and at Iowa Feb. 19th.
