Nice to have a W! (against Minnesota)

We kept the winning streak alive, with another solid first half. Saw some of the game via TIVO tonight, but will have to watch the rest later on. From what I watched, Minnesota looked like a weak team, and Warren Carter was having a field day early. Seems like Frazier is still injured and was surprised to see Jamar out most of the game. Need to be healthy for the Wisconsin guys this weekend. Will try to preview that when I get a chance.

The next two games will be critical home games to win if we plan to go to the NCAA tourney. Wisconsin might be our last chance for a signature victory this year, since we don't play Ohio State or Wisconsin again. It would be a shame to miss the NCAAs, that's for sure.

Ron -

A nice in conference win for the Illini.

As you stated a win against the #3 team would certainly help the resume come tournament time.

Best of luck.

Thanks RM. I think the Wisconsin game will be THE game of the year for the Illini, assuming they come out to play. And their signature win thus far might be Missouri, so they need better resume material.
