[Cracked Sidewalks] Illinois Preview

[The Sultan]

not as long as they have eligibility remaining and NIL doesn't change that. I found it amusing that the Ohio State guys who were suspended for trading gear and awards for tattoos were trying to get exonerated when the rule remains the same, they cannot sell or trade school issues gear until the expiration of their eligibility.

I don't think so.  Illinois' own press release said that he sold them before July 1 when they would have been legal.  Which is just ridiculous - enforcing a rule that they thought so little of that it is no longer a rule.

And I was looking forward to MU having the Kur for Cockburn.

Now you should forward to Marquette attacking inside relentlessly and efficiently.  Great opportunity for a W, we must take advantage of the situation.

Illinois will still be a huge favorite to win

I disagree. 5 point spread at best.  We can do this!

We need to attack, attack, attack.  It's a winnable game and I could care less about our youth or the prognosticators.   Hopefully our crowd brings it on a Mon night.

Very nice.

I have to admit that when I saw the news, my initial reaction was, "Good. Glad he can't play against us."

Doesn't matter - Shaka's team can only score 53 points, 59 at best.

So as long as we hold them to 52 points, 58 at worst. Then we're fine. Good thing there's a recent blue print on how a midwestern Jesuit can do that to Illinois, back when they had an even better team too.

Still, MU will likely will feel a lot of Payne.
