Man, Illinois bigs are BIG

Their bigs and the poor FTs are the difference.

Armoni stays on the floor too.

Armoni got two cheap ones! Armoni has to be on the floor!

Radford has been dreadful!

Free throw shooting sucks too!

Radford overmatched on D in this game. Big time.

Hit the FTs and we got a close game.

I dug around online a bit as I'm not home ... appears it is not part of the BTN but is an online streaming option (for a monthly fee).

I don't see an option to just buy one particular game.

At least the radio broadcast is free.

I get regular Big 10 Network. Does that mean I have plus, too, or is that an add?

Not going to be easy. LOL. They have some serious dudes.

But, this will make them much better for opening weekend in two weeks.

This may be the only time all year IUP is the smaller team.

Yeah, you don't see many 6-4 or 6-5 forwards in Division I.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Checking Curbelo, Frazier, and some of their other folks won't be any walk in the park, either.

Wonder who will get the pleasure of guarding Illinois center (and soon-to-be NBA Lottery Pick) Kofi Cockburn (7'0, 285 lbs).

Illinois coach Brad Underwood on tonight's exhibition:

"There won't be much talent disparity," Underwood said. "That's why they are on the schedule. They've got real dudes, real size. I hope they come out and punch us. I can't wait to see how we react."



Nice comment, of course. IUP has some great players. Not many NBA guys, however.

Interested to see how Joe uses the bench tonight. Easy to assume Morris, Armoni, Shawndale, Ethan, Demo and Sulaiman play heavy minutes. But, curious the pecking order of players 7-9.

Word this morning is the game is sold out. That's quite the contrast from IUP's previous similar exhibitions. That arena gets crazy. I doubt it will be amped up like does when Michigan comes to town, but a great experience nonetheless.

IUP's exhibition at Illinois is nearly sold out. Prior to the game the Illini are doing their ring presentation and banner raise from last year's Big 10 title.

Illinois is ranked No. 11 in the AP Poll and a bit higher in others. This is a team with national title hopes and some NBA guys.

I'd say the goal is stay within 25-30 points. Try and come out hot as I'm sure they aren't expecting much.
