Illini was SHOOK from the very beginning

[SBP]

I got there at 6:15 and watched warmups. They were lackadaisically throwing up dumb shots, basically, many looked “loose”… too loose…Very casual…then…

After they came out to a packed house, they looked like they were trying to “circle the wagons” and block out the noise, but it was obvious it had had an effect on them… and it showed right from the tip.

The best 6th man in the country, the fans, had them shook.

Curbello was getting called out by the student section and he actually turned and threw his hands up in the air saying “what do you want?!” after pretending to ignore for a good while. Totally dazzled. Only had 2 points, when underwood pulled him late the students all cheered and called his name and he sat down and slammed his Gatorade on the floor. Underwood ripped him a new one and threw a towel at him and made him clean it up. The RAC is a rattling environment for even the nations best players

Certain guys you can do this to and they self destruct… He always seemed like one of them. Marcus Carr was another, he had some miserable games against us.
