Both Lucas Johnson and Damir Krupalija will return to the lineup tomorrow vs Wisconsin. In the Illini losses they were lacking depth and toughness in the post. These two bring a whole bunch of toughness. Johnson was expected to be gone for the year after tearing an Acl over the summer. He has rehabbed well and the Illini have their emotional leader back . I expect that come tourney time when everybody has adjusted to their roles that they will be back to living up to preseason hype.

illini are garbage Frankie Williams is the whole team they will go as far as he carries them on his back.

My pick to win the big ten is Ohio State

I have to admit the illini are pretty damn terrible. I go to the damn school and it is hard to watch them because it doesn't seem as if they try very hard. They really don't know how to entry pass the ball into the post and Brian Cook thinks he is Sean Harrington runnin around by the 3 point line. They were 10 times better last year when they actually had a big man in Griifin and some leadership in McClain. Frankie doesn't know how to lead a team. Just like in high school, once sergio was gone the didn't win state unlike the previous 4 year when sergio was there they did. Then their other starting gaurd Bradford, when did he become a slasher. He needs to run off of screens for jumpers like he did when he was the best player on the team. There main fault lies within there structure of an offense. They have too many mouths to feed and only one plate of food to go around. Cook needs to stay on the block, Cory needs to take his shots when they are there, and Frankie needs to stop forcing, I have never seen worse shots come from a supposed first team all american. Msybe, I am wrong and completely mistaken and once they get Damir and Lucas back they will be fine, but to me it doesn't seem that way.
