That??™s some streak Illini take to Minnesota

[Murph]

If Minny manages to win this game will somebody in the media ever give Jim Molinari credit for building this team?.....


Illinois has defeated the Golden Gophers 20 straight times, going back to Feb. 3, 1999 when coach Lon Kruger’s team lost 75-63. Remember them? That was an Illini group that included Lucas Johnson, Victor Chukwudebe, Damir Krupalija, Sergio McClain and Cory Bradford.

That’s a streak that has spanned 10 years, three Illini head coaches, four Minnesota head coaches (Clem Haskins, Dan Monson, Jim Molinari and Tubby Smith).

Minny leads 22-16 at the half, again the announcers failed to give Slo Mo credit.....

Love the new avatar, MM...

Agree!

[Murph]

well, Alex Legion launching wild 3-pointers from the corner doesn't help
when you are hitting only 7-28 like Illinois is shooting in the 1st half

Legion only took 3 shots 2 were 3 pointers.

Mo's Minny team was 7-22

Tks on the avatar. I didn't dig deep for a "bad" pic - it's the cover pic on her MySpace. She must like it too.

Back to topic....

First one to 50 wins?

[MacabreMob]

Holy crap - can UIUC score 40???

[MacabreMob]

Wow!

59-36

(Minney wins - snaps the streak)

I didn't see that coming.

Good thing I don't know a bookie.
