Don MacLean is on the PBP call again tonight.

Feels like yet another good omen.

Is he going to sing American Pie too? That would be sweeeeet! 😉

MacLean does all the BTN West Coast games.
He has a bit of that Blueblood aristocratic tone but he has earned it.
He is all time leading scorer at UCLA...not bad

As for Wash..they are loaded
Kepnang- 6 '11" shot blocking beast..had 6 blocks in 1st 8 minutes the other nite.
Yates- killed us last year with USC as frosh...powerful,quick scorer from 3 levels
Steinbach- lottery pick as frosh 6'11" can score anywhere
Diallo- super quick shooter, top 35 recruit.

Nervous bout this one.

If we win will it be Quad 1 or 2? I don't really understand the whole new system about the Quad wins so I would appreciate it if someone could explain it a bit.

Think they'll cut away from the end of the gameclock in this ILL-NW game since its already over at halftime??

One can only hope.

Our game will probably be scheduled to tip at 10:10 or 15 after anyways, so this game will likely be officially over by 10p straight up anyways, if not a couple minutes past.

Looks promising for our game to be on BTN at tip off. Illini are insane right now. Iowa battled them tough and had chances. Last game I was at.

This game is over by 9:50. No concerns.

The Gies Family (Larry and Beth Gies)
In September 2025, Gies made a record-breaking $100 million donation to Illinois Athletics. While a portion is directed toward football (resulting in the renaming of Gies Memorial Stadium), the gift is "department-wide," providing massive resources for basketball recruiting, facilities, and staff retention.

I'm almost 70 and after working out this morning and walking this afternoon I plan to stay up for this one. Feel grateful to have the flexibility as a senior to have the opportunity to watch.

Loved the comment above that Ben didn't travel all the way to the Pacific Northwest to lose. This team has shown grit and the ability to play through adversity. That bodes well for tonight whether we have Banks at full speed or not.
70 isn't old anymore brother.
