I have been asking for this game.

It's officially Iowa vs Illinois Day

- Start date
This is my favorite rival in basketball. And they are balling. But so are we.
Get some Illini

Should be a great one today. Great season for both of us. You and I have been asking for this game since last year.
@hawkit3113 will Illinois hang a conference tournament championship banner if they lose today?
Yes Sir.
Don't even care if we lose by 20, I just want to get our hands on the Illini.
FYI, you guys don't scare us. The NBA talent will show up.
Keep hating. We have a legit gripe, and it doesn’t hurt UM at all to crown us co-champs for literally being +.5 on them in the standings (and, of course, making them look like high schoolers without Ayo). It’s not being “sore losers,” it’s standing up for ourselves when we (and others, like Nebraska) played a BRUTAL end to our schedule to accommodate Michigan getting extra rest for no other reason than they felt they deserved that luxury while no other Big Ten team received the same after pauses. “Michigan would have won all of those games!!!” Great, go prove it. They got blown out at Minnesota, so they shouldn’t get in the habit of claiming wins before they earn them. Again ... CO-champs is quite a reasonable solution and takes absolutely nothing from Michigan.
As for today, what a crazy awesome B1G semifinal setup. Should be two great games. And, just like you, I love our chances. We’re on a roll and dialed in, and I’m taking the Illini.
If you still had Bill Self, you’d be bored with conference titles by now.
1. Your own AD was part of the unanimous decision to use winning percentage if teams had to cancel games becsuse
2. You guys had a worse winning percentage.
3. You guys had an easier strength of schedule.
I think the Big Ten could’ve had a better solution.... maybe your AD should’ve suggested one.
He did. In his letter, in which he also addressed voting for winning pctg. several months ago. In an uneven and completely unprecedented season where one team played all of its games and won the most games in B1G play, while another didn’t but had a slightly better winning pctg., adapt and award them both a share. Seems fair and doesn’t harm Michigan’s accomplishments in the slightest.
Looking forward to Garza and Cockburn.
I drive to IL gas stations to shit
When I go to Nebraska I drive around Iowa
I don’t blame you. We have indoor plumbing.

I wouldn't call it rare..........I'm 21-7 this year.Aren’t you on a rare successful betting steak??Better trust Vegas.
Shall I place a wager on the Illini to make it 22-7?
(I'll give you a second to think about that one.........)
^ Ah, nice. Thought I remembered you referencing some recent bad luck.
Sounds like Illinois will win the BTT if the news is true about Livers being done for the season at Michigan.

Oh no, I did.
These f***ing small conference tourneys had been kicking my a**.
(Just an example, but I just needed Coppin State to cover like +17.5 against Morgan State in a 3-leg parlay and they were up 9 at halftime.............they lost by 21.)
Started to rebound a little bit when the bigger tourneys started, and profited bigly from Illinois, Michigan and Oklahoma State yesterday.

Good luck Hawkeyes. I've checked out on basketball season at this point but may throw the game on tonight.
I could blather on about growing up on the Mississippi River, but I won't. Those stats say alot

F***ing Champaign has been a thorn in Iowa’s side forever, even when Illinois has had bad teams.
And it doesn't feel like we have a 34-game series lead when in Iowa City. But those records truly reflect the significance of home court advantage in college basketball.
Not gonna lie, this one is up there with a Rose Bowl
I hope we ready
I hope we ready
Thank god we get some color in this one. That Iowa/Wisky time warp had me thinking we were watching basketball back when Kentucky won half their titles. To the future. 🍻
oh and I L L!

Garza finishes 2 rebounds shy of triple double. 26 pts, 8 rebounds, 10 assists.
