Yes you will!I’ll be there. Judging by the average StubHub ticket for this game vs. NU’s other home games (literally $80 vs. less than $20…), I’m guessing I will be in good company!
Let’s remind NU that Chicago (and every corner of this state) is Illini Country!
Nerds: We beat MSU without our best player.
Illini: But can you do it without your two best players, nerds?
RIP to the Hutch Hype Train
Sorry. Even so, in East Lansing is more impressive.Nerds: We beat MSU without our best player.

7.4If he’s back, anyone thinking Kofi’s first dunk shows up on the Richter scale?
Good thing Welsh-Ryan Arena (McGaw Hall to old dudes like me) was built a mile inland. Were it on the lakefill on campus I'd worry about soil liquefaction at some point late Saturday afternoon if KC plays.If he’s back, anyone thinking Kofi’s first dunk shows up on the Richter scale?
Not really.Thinking about going this weekend. Is there any bad seat in the place?
Nope, and definitely not post-renovation. I went in 2019 and 2020. 2019 was like 50% Illini fans, which I expect is about the norm … we lost by one (IIRC) with an awful ending.Thinking about going this weekend. Is there any bad seat in the place?
8.8If he’s back, anyone thinking Kofi’s first dunk shows up on the Richter scale?
The great Muskegon tsunami of 2022If he’s back, anyone thinking Kofi’s first dunk shows up on the Richter scale?
On the mildcats bench......................Thinking about going this weekend. Is there any bad seat in the place?
Any Illini fan who thinks AC is the second best player on this team has not watched the Illini play this season. Trent Frazier is that man. Not that AC isn't capable of playing at that level, but he cannot and never has matched the contribution TF makes AT BOTH ENDS. We have seen AC play offensively at his best against Purdue and it was fascinating, but we have also seen him at his worst this year. Frazier brings it every night. Other than going cold on occasion, he is always a plus player, and has been given huge respect by Matt Painter. AC can get there, but there is a long way to go. Hope we see his best again many times...and soon.Nerds: We beat MSU without our best player.

I mean, AC has been pretty much injured all season so that's not really fair. If you look at last year, I think you can certainly argue for either. I don't think it's ridiculous to say AC is the 2nd best. I also don't think it's ridiculous to say Trent is.Any Illini fan who thinks AC is the second best player on this team has not watched the Illini play this season. Trent Frazier is that man.

Not saying your conclusion is wrong, but to follow your line of reasoning, you could also say: “Any Illini fan who thinks Kofi is one of the best players on the team has not watched the Illini play the past two weeks.”Any Illini fan who thinks AC is the second best player on this team has not watched the Illini play this season.
