Yeah, this is going to be a tough one. They are athletic, crash the offensive glass and have a couple of good outside shooters as well. They beat a really good App State team the other night.
 
I mean I'm kind of glad we get to see another potential really good game... I think we know what we can do against some mid level talent or a team that just doesn't show up ready to play. Let's keep getting opportunities to see what this team is made of. I think all of us would like to believe that this team has the goods to potentially not only make the NCAA tournament but make some noise - based off what we've seen thus far. For me anyway, this is just another chance to really get an idea of just what we have here. I'm excited.

I think we SIU them. They’ve done well in non-conference, but haven’t played the mighty sycamores yet. Cant wait to watch in person

I'm nervous as well, but I'm always nervous before. I think this will be a tough game because they're a good team and we're on the road, not because it's a so called trap game. If we're as good as we think we are, we need to win this game.
 
That's right @Jason Svoboda - great video... He wants all the smoke. So do I. Win or lose. I've been waiting for these days where games on the road at places like Northern IL meant something - wouldn't be any reason to feel "nervous" or anything for that matter as a fan if we didn't believe in this team.

So I suppose feeling "nervous" isn't a bad thing really but the word for me has such a negative connotation especially when related to being a fan of something - nervous makes it sound like "I'm afraid we're going to get beat" that's what I read when I read the word nervous as a fan. I just replace nervousness with straight hype to watch us play meaningful ball on December 5 in the non-conference. If we get beat? We get beat... It's early and we can still figure it out. I appreciate the work and the position they've put themselves in but still an awful lot of basketball to be played!

ISU at -7.5 now, should have taken the -5.5 from yesterday. Wonder if they'll have prop bets on individual players?

My guess is probably not for this game… If so probably around 5pm or so but I’m not anticipating that they will. Just a hunch that they’re only doing them for conference games and non conference games vs P5 teams Like Michigan St will have player props that game.
